Team Lead Client Success (m/f/d)
THE ROLE & THE TEAM
As Team Lead Client Success, you take on the functional and people leadership of our Client Success team - currently up to eight Client Success Managers (CSMs) who support our B2B customers on the Zattoo TV platform, with a focus on DACH as well as international accounts. You report to the Director Client Success & Operations. This is a people-first role: you make sure your team has consistent processes, room for individual development, and strong collaboration with adjacent teams. You stay close enough to daily operations to spot issues early, and senior enough to resolve them - through coaching, process improvements, or bringing the right stakeholders together. Commercial ownership and contract management sit with Key Account Management; your focus is people management, process excellence, quality oversight, and internal alignment.
Zattoo enables our users to view indiscriminately and we reflect that in our team too. Regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, age, disability or any other characteristic protected by law we encourage everyone to apply and will give everyone equal consideration. We are an equal opportunities employer — join us and help build a diverse team dedicated to revolutionising the way you watch TV.
