Sinch is a global leader in cloud communications, helping businesses connect with their customers through messaging, voice, and email. Our platform powers billions of interactions every year - from transactional alerts and marketing campaigns to rich, AI-driven conversations.
We're at an inflection point. As enterprise communication shifts from one-way messaging to intelligent, multi-turn conversations, Sinch is building the products and infrastructure that will define this next chapter. That means investing in agentic AI, conversational intelligence, and the orchestration layer that ties it all together.
About the role
Sinch is building a Customer Success organisation for its enterprise customers across EMEA. As a Senior CSM, you’ll be the strategic adviser for around 10-15 of our most important and complex customers. These are large, multi-channel, multi-country relationships where the stakes are high and the conversations happen at executive level.
You’ll make sure these customers get measurable value from Sinch, see risk before it becomes churn, and bring new ideas to the table. You’ll work as a pair with the Account Manager on each account, supported by our global Onboarding and Customer Excellence teams and Sales Engineering.
Key responsibilities

- Build and maintain relationships with customer executives, owning the conversation about value and outcomes alongside the Account Manager’s commercial relationship.
- Lead innovation sessions and strategic workshops. Use the customer’s goals and usage data to show where Sinch can do more, with Sales Engineering and Account Management turning the outcomes into solutions and opportunities.
- Build success plans with each customer, and run executive business reviews that show measurable impact.
- Monitor health in depth (usage, traffic, quality, support and commercial signals), spot risk early, and lead the response, including complex escalations involving global teams. Proactive renewal planning.
- Coordinate Onboarding, Customer Excellence, Support, Sales Engineering and Product so your customers experience one Sinch.
- Bring structured, evidence-based customer insight back to Product.
- Use AI and automation to go deeper on your accounts (research, preparation, risk signals) and share what works with the team.
- Help raise the team’s practice by sharing your playbooks and coaching colleagues who are new to Customer Success.
