Customer Success Manager in Sydney

Founded in Sydney in 2014, ezyCollect by Sidetrade is Australia's leading Order-to-Cash platform for small and mid-sized businesses. We automate credit management, collections, and payments - taking the manual work out of getting paid. Our 1,100+ customers manage A$19 billion in receivables through the platform, typically cutting late payments by 40% and bad debt by 80% within three months.

Now part of global AI leader Sidetrade, we're scaling our reach across three continents - bringing enterprise-grade technology to the mid-market while staying true to our Sydney roots. Australian innovation. Global ambition.

As we've grown from a niche workflows and payments platform to a comprehensive Order-to-Cash solution serving 1,300+ customers, our Customer Success function has had to scale alongside the business. This role is pivotal in delivering a proactive, white-glove service to our top 25-30% of customers by MRR - the accounts that drive the business and deserve strategic partnership. You'll focus on our highest-value customers (typically >$500 MRR), ensuring they adopt deeply, renew confidently, and become long-term champions of the platform.

This isn't a sales-quota role. Revenue expansion and upsells are owned by dedicated Account Managers. Your job is customer success - adoption, retention, and building trusted relationships that last. Flexibility to accommodate limited US/NZ/UK hours as required is a must.

You’ll join a core Customer Success team, working alongside four other CSMs based in Sydney. The team is tight-knit, authentic, and refreshingly flat - you can genuinely be yourself and feel comfortable in your own skin. You'll collaborate daily with Product, Sales, Finance, Payment Operations, and Leadership. The culture is open and transparent - no micromanaging, just honesty, accountability, and mutual support. The entire CSM team will be involved in onboarding you, and everyone makes time to help new hires succeed.

Over the next 12 months, the team will grow by at least two additional headcount, creating genuine opportunities for existing team members to take on more responsibility and expand their careers.

What you'll be doing:

• Own the white-glove customer journey. You'll manage a portfolio of approximately 150 Australian based accounts, with 30-40% actively engaged at any given time. These are our top-tier customers - the ones we protect, expand, and build long-term partnerships with. You'll own the entire lifecycle: onboarding, adoption, retention, and relationship management.
• Deliver outstanding onboarding and implementation. Project-manage software implementation for new customers, coordinating with technology partners and internal/external stakeholders to ensure clients go live within expected timeframes. Conduct training and refresher sessions so customers understand how to get the most out of the platform.
• Earn a seat at the table. Sit down with executive sponsors - CFOs, Financial Controllers, business owners - and understand their short and long-term business goals. Build strategic roadmaps with milestones and KPIs aligned to their objectives.
• Drive adoption and prevent churn. Run regular success check-ins and value-focused reviews to track customer outcomes and progress. Identify risks early and proactively manage churn through engagement, education, and support.
• Champion the voice of the customer. Advocate for customer needs across Product, Engineering, and Leadership teams. Surface product feedback, identify trends, and push for improvements that reduce tech debt and improve customer experience.
• Collaborate with Account Managers. Work closely with AMs to ensure seamless handovers and alignment on customer opportunities.
• Provide day-to-day support. Handle customer support via Intercom, helpdesk tickets, and email, ensuring timely and high-quality responses.
• Stay adaptable. Our product roadmap is fluid, and priorities shift as the business grows. You'll need to be flexible, manage competing demands, and prioritise effectively.

What you’ll bring:

• You have 2-3 years of experience as a Customer Success Manager or Account Manager in a high-volume, fast-paced environment - ideally within SaaS, fintech, or payments.
• You have commercial maturity. You can hold confident, empathetic conversations with C-suite executives and build trust quickly.
• You're honest, adaptable, and resilient. You value integrity, take ownership of your actions, and don't shy away from challenges.
• You're deeply customer-centric and service-oriented. You consistently go above and beyond to deliver exceptional experiences and tangible business outcomes.
• You're organised and self-directed. You can manage multiple priorities, juggle competing demands, and maintain strong time management without constant oversight.

Bonus points for experience or familiarity with accounting software (Xero, MYOB, NetSuite) or ERP systems, and experience working with payment processors or service providers.

Real exposure to how businesses work. This isn't a siloed role. You'll be exposed to finance, operations, strategy, and the realities of running a business. That exposure opens your mind, sharpens your commercial acumen, and gives you insights you can apply across your entire career.

Growth opportunities. As the team grows and we expand into new markets (including the US), there will be genuine opportunities to take on more responsibility, mentor others, and shape how Customer Success operates at scale.

Work with a leadership team that values honesty and integrity. No micromanaging. Just trust, accountability, and mutual respect.

Be part of something stable and scaling. We're profitable, backed by Sidetrade, and serving 1,100+ customers with A$19B under management.
