Meet the team behind this journey

DeepL is redefining how the world communicates, and our DACH Customer Success team is at the heart of that mission. We are looking for a strategic, technical, and multilingual Customer Success Manager to support our growing expansion into the Swiss market. Based in Germany but focused on Switzerland, you will manage a high-impact portfolio of 20–25 Corporate accounts. This isn’t a high-volume urn and burn role; it’s a high-touch position where you will navigate the complexities of the Swiss public and private sectors, acting as a bridge between DeepL’s world-class AI and our customers' global ambitions.

Responsibilities

• Support a portfolio of 20 - 25 key customers for the Swiss market.
• Drive strategic value by leading deep-dive business reviews that translate data into narratives, proving to C-suite stakeholders that DeepL is a critical driver of their ROI.
• You’ll own the first impression, architecting onboarding paths that align our technology with the customer's specific business goals from day one.
• Empower customers to integrate DeepL deeply into their workflows, guiding them on API usage and advanced product features to make our solution indispensable.
• Partner closely with Account Executives and the wider GTM team to identify expansion opportunities and ensure our Swiss footprint continues to grow.
• Understand the unique nuances of the Swiss market, you’ll position yourself as a consultant rather than a vendor, ensuring long-term retention and advocacy.
• Achieve quarterly adoption, retention and advocacy targets while tracking customer details and next steps.

Qualifications

• You are fluent in German and English. If you can also navigate a conversation in French or Italian, you’ll have a distinct advantage in the Swiss market.
• Experience working in a Customer Success role previously, ideally within a scaling SaaS organisation.
• Proven track record of not just retaining customers, but turning them into vocal advocates for your brand.
• Experience with APIs and a comfort level in working with customers who integrate our solutions into their own products.
• Ability to thrive in a scale-up environment, demonstrating strategic thinking and tactical execution.

What We Offer

• Diverse and internationally distributed team: joining our team means becoming part of a large, global community with people of more than 90 nationalities. Our global presence is growing, with employees based in the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, the US, and Japan, and we continue to expand our network.
• Open communication, regular feedback: as a language-focused company, we value clear, honest communication and collaborative teamwork.
• Hybrid work, flexible hours: hybrid schedule with in-office days and flexible hours to accommodate different time zones.
• Regular in-person team events and company-wide gatherings.
• Monthly Hack Fridays: time to work on projects you are passionate about and collaborate with other teams.
• 30 days of annual leave (excluding public holidays) and access to mental health resources.
• Competitive benefits tailored to your location.
