Customer Success Manager B2B
Amsterdam - Netherlands
Job Summary
Job description
Intelic is building the operating system for Europes unmanned systems deployed in active operations integrated with NATO and growing fast. Our platform Nexus is a C2 system for heterogeneous drone fleets that keeps working where comms break down and GPS drops out. We work directly with leading drone manufacturers and defense hardware companies across Europe.
About the Role
In defense your reputation is your pipeline. The relationships you build after a contract is signed matter just as much as the ones that got you there. You are the kind of person who takes genuine ownership of the clients in your care not just the tasks but the outcomes. You are organised enough to keep complex accounts manageable perceptive enough to spot a problem before it surfaces and composed enough to hold a relationship together when things get difficult. You know that the best client relationships are built on consistency not heroics. This is a foundational hire. Customer Success at Intelic is being built from scratch and you will be the one to build it. That means defining how we onboard how we retain how we escalate and eventually how we grow a team around you. You will work closely with the sales team taking over accounts once contracts are signed and integrations are complete and owning the relationship from there. Your accounts will be the hardware manufacturers and defense OEMs that power Europes unmanned systems.
