As a Customer Success Manager, you own a book of ITAD accounts end-to-end — and you're measured on two things above all else: keeping those customers renewing and growing the revenue Sprout earns from them. You are the trusted advisor who turns a one-time IT asset retirement job into a long-term, multi-year partnership.

Responsibilities

Account Management

• Own a defined book of ITAD accounts, sized to your experience level, with renewal and retention as your core mandate

• Lead new customer onboarding end-to-end — Salesforce/IT system setup, user training, and recurring program cadence

• Manage customer jobs end-to-end, partnering with Logistics to clear pickup blockers and keep execution on schedule

• Monitor SLAs and account health continuously, escalating internally on delivery risk before it becomes a retention issue

Customer Relationship & Communication

• Serve as the primary point of contact and trusted advisor for every account in your book

• Advocate for the customer internally — partner with Operations and 3PO vendors to root-cause and close service gaps

• Communicate proactively across phone, email, and in person, closing the loop until the customer is genuinely satisfied

• Lead recurring business reviews that keep customers informed on program health, cost savings, and compliance

Retention & Churn Avoidance

• Own ≥100% net revenue retention across your book of ITAD accounts

• Proactively flag churn risk signals — volume drop-off, delayed pickups, unresolved escalations, changes in customer ownership or budget — before they threaten renewal

• Hit CSAT ≥8 / NPS ≥75, resolving detractors before they become a retention risk

• Build renewal timelines into every account plan, engaging customers well ahead of contract end dates rather than at the deadline

Revenue Growth

• Identify and pursue upsell/cross-sell opportunities — new device types, new sites, additional services — as a standing part of your book

• Own and report progress against account growth targets, quantifying the revenue impact of expansion work you drive

• Support conversion of one-time or project-based engagements into recurring, multi-year contracts

• Partner with Business Development on expansion opportunities that exceed your account's current scope

Customer Outcomes Focus

• Align Sprout's services to each customer's own goals — cost savings, data security compliance, sustainability/ESG reporting — and make that connection explicit in every business review

• Track and report measurable outcomes (cost savings delivered, devices processed, certificates issued, environmental impact) tied directly to customer KPIs, not just internal activity

• Use outcome data to build the case for renewal and expansion, rather than treating reporting as a formality

Business Acumen & Strategic Thinking

• Understand the financial mechanics of each account — DSV costs, resale/recycling revenue, margin — well enough to make informed trade-offs

• Bring ITAD market and industry context into customer conversations, positioning Sprout as a strategic partner rather than a vendor

• Contribute to pricing and contract structuring decisions on renewals and expansions

Leadership, Ownership & Growth

• Own account outcomes without needing to be managed — retention and revenue results are yours to drive

• Advocate for and collaborate cross-functionally to resolve escalations, iterating with the customer until they're satisfied

• Share best practices with CSAs and newer CSMs supporting your accounts

• Build repeatable processes — onboarding playbooks, escalation templates — that raise outcomes across the broader Customer Success team

Qualifications

• 2–3 years of experience in customer service and support

• 5+ years of experience in ITAD, TPM, or a related IT services industry

• A track record of driving account retention and revenue growth, not just service delivery

• Experience and comfort using Salesforce

• An excellent communicator across any medium — phone first, then email, then in person

• Not the type to leave a pending action item or an unanswered email overnight
