Customer success managers in SaaS and B2B services own onboarding, adoption, renewals and expansion. ATS filters scan for customer success, account management, churn reduction, renewals, NPS and CRM tools such as Salesforce, HubSpot or Gainsight. Hiring managers want numbers: book of business, net revenue retention, churn and expansion revenue. CSMs who connect product adoption to revenue outcomes are the most sought after.
