Senior Enterprise Customer Success Manager in Rochester, New York at Pharos Systems International Inc

PHAROS · Senior Enterprise Customer Success Manager Enterprise SaaS · Remote (US)

Do you have a track record of holding a software relationship together when things get complicated on the customer's side: leadership changes, shifting priorities, competing internal agendas, and coming out the other end with a stronger partnership than you started with?

Pharos is seeking a Senior Enterprise Customer Success Manager to own a portfolio of complex, high-value enterprise accounts. The work here is less about onboarding and more about the harder middle: keeping momentum in accounts where your champion just left, finding the right entry point into a new stakeholder group, and knowing when to push for expansion versus when to hold and consolidate. You will need to read organizational dynamics quickly and adjust accordingly.

This is not a role where success looks like clean QBRs with engaged customers who already know why they need you. Some of your best work will happen in accounts where the relationship needs rebuilding, where value is not obvious to everyone in the room, and where your judgment about what to do next matters more than any playbook.

You will also carry a visible internal role, bringing what you are hearing in the field into product and go-to-market conversations, and helping set the standard for how enterprise accounts should be managed across the team.

What the work actually requires

You have managed software accounts at organizations large enough that no single person controls the buying relationship. You understand how decisions about software get made, and stalled, and revived, inside complex organizations, and you have learned how to stay relevant through those cycles without being pushy or invisible.

You know the difference between an account that is quiet because things are going well and one that is quiet because something is wrong. You act on that difference without being asked.

You can have a direct, substantive conversation with a senior executive who did not choose your product and is not sure they would choose it again, and leave that conversation having moved something forward.

You work well across Sales, Product, and internal teams without needing those relationships to be perfectly defined. You fill gaps, you flag things early, and you do not wait for someone else to own a problem that is affecting your accounts.

This role carries a level of account complexity that not everyone finds energizing. If you have spent your career in that environment and want to go deeper in it, this is the right conversation. If you are looking to grow into enterprise work, we are probably not the right next step for you, and we would rather be straightforward about that now than waste your time or ours.
