Job Description

At Eventbrite, we’re creating the world’s first marketplace for live experiences. We’re building the tools that power music festivals, marathons, conferences, hackathons, air guitar competitions, and everything in between–as well as the platform that helps people discover events that fuel their passions. Our mission? To bring the world together through live experiences.  Our Customer Success team builds high-level relationships with our customers focused on service and engagement.

At Eventbrite, we believe great technology and great service make a fantastic customer experience. The smart, passionate, creative, and delightful team of Customer Success team members act as strategic advisors to our largest and most complex organisers. The team works together and cross-functionally every day to create exceptional experiences for our valued partners. The rewards are great and no challenge is too big.

THE ROLE

As a Customer Success Manager on our Customer Success Team, you will help our large and complex customers realise the maximum ROI with the Eventbrite platform, and help the company build a world-class customer lifecycle model that supports our core business and expands our revenue potential. You will be responsible for ensuring a high-quality, predictable, and repeatable delivery model is implemented that maximizes delivery quality, engagement, retention, and revenue. You will play a pivotal role in shaping and executing the company’s strategic initiatives.

1. Drive re-engagement with inactive or at-risk Strategic accounts
2. Increase product and feature adoption amongst Strategic accounts that will help improve their success on the platform

4. Minimise churn rates

• Metrics and Reporting: Track and report on KPIs, customer satisfaction, and overall health of Creator accounts to internal stakeholders.
• Retention: Identify customer requirements, remove roadblocks, and lead outreach campaigns to ensure long-term client retention and growth.
