Plotline · Bengaluru Office ·
Join our AI platform as an Enterprise Customer Success Manager focused on our high-value Indian customer portfolio. You'll be responsible for managing $1.5M+ in ARR while driving expansion, retention, and customer advocacy across our fastest-growing market.
Proven track record as an enterprise-grade app personalisation platform serving apps like Dream11, Zepto, Upstox globally. Our India market represents one of our most strategic growth regions, with customers ranging from emerging startups to established enterprises leveraging our AI-driven personalization solutions.
As a Customer Success Manager at Plotline, you are the strategic partner to our customers — ensuring they extract maximum value from the platform, hit their engagement goals, and grow with us over time. You own the customer relationship post-sale: driving product adoption, championing use cases, leading business reviews, owning renewals, and identifying expansion opportunities.
This is a business-outcome-driven role. You'll be deep in understanding each customer's engagement strategy — their goals, their gaps, and how Plotline's platform can solve problems they didn't even know they had. You're equal parts consultant, product evangelist, and commercial strategist.
Customer Retention & Growth - Maintain 95%+ gross revenue retention while driving 120%+ net revenue retention across your portfolio
Value Realization - Ensure customers achieve measurable ROI and business outcomes through strategic implementation of our AI personalization platform
Cultural Navigation - Build deep relationships across diverse business cultures and decision-making processes in the Indian market
Technical Partnership - Bridge the gap between complex AI/ML capabilities and business value for technical and non-technical stakeholders

Time to value: Customers achieve measurable business impact within the first 60 days
Expansion pipeline: Generate qualified expansion opportunities worth 25%+ of your portfolio's ARR annually
Executive engagement: Multi-threaded relationships in 70%+ of accounts (not single-threaded with one champion)
Own the adoption journey — ensure customers move beyond basic campaigns to leverage the full breadth of Plotline
Proactively bring use case ideas to customers based on their vertical, user base, and engagement goals — you're not waiting for them to ask
Conduct regular use case workshops and strategy sessions to map Plotline capabilities to customer KPIs (DAU, retention, conversion, ARPU)
Monitor product usage patterns and flag underutilization
Build and share best practices, playbooks, and success stories from across the customer base to inspire new use cases
Ensure customers see measurable business impact from Plotline within the first 90 days
2. Renewal Ownership (30%)

Maintain a rolling view of renewal timelines, customer health scores, and risk indicators across your book of business
Identify and mitigate churn risks early — declining usage, stakeholder changes, competitive evaluations, unresolved pain points
Build the business case for renewal: compile ROI data, campaign impact metrics, and adoption milestones that make renewal a no-brainer
Coordinate with Finance and Sales on renewal pricing, contract terms, and billing logistics
Target: 95%+ gross retention across your portfolio
3. Strategic Customer Engagement (20%)
Run regular business reviews (QBRs/MBRs) with customer stakeholders — presenting adoption metrics, campaign performance, ROI analysis, and a forward-looking engagement roadmap
Build multi-threaded relationships across the customer org — product, marketing, growth, engineering, and leadership
Understand each customer's broader business context — their competitive landscape, seasonal priorities, and strategic initiatives — and position Plotline as a lever for those goals
Serve as the trusted advisor customers turn to when planning new product launches, seasonal campaigns, or engagement experiments
Translate Plotline's product roadmap into customer-relevant narratives — "here's what's coming and here's how it helps you"
4. Expansion & Revenue Growth (15%)
Identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities
Package and hand off qualified expansion opportunities to Account Managers with full context — customer pain points, use cases, stakeholder mapping, and commercial signals
Track leading indicators of expansion readiness: hitting impression caps, requests for new channels, new business units showing interest
5. Escalation Management, Product Roadmap & Cross-Functional Coordination (5%)
Oversee customer escalations — the support team handles day-to-day tickets and bugs, but you own the customer relationship and step in when issues risk customer satisfaction or retention
Ensure critical issues are prioritized, communicated transparently, and resolved within SLA
Synthesize customer feedback into actionable product requests — represent the voice of the customer in internal roadmap and prioritization discussions
Coordinate with Product, Engineering, and Support to ensure your customers' needs are heard and addressed
