Customer Success Manager (m/f/d)

About this role

About SimScale

SimScale is the world's first cloud-based, AI-native engineering simulation platform. CFD, FEA, thermal and electromagnetics run together in a single browser-based environment, supported by Engineering AI that guides simulation setup, Physics AI that returns validated predictions in seconds, and agentic workflows that execute multi-step simulation pipelines at any scale.

The conviction behind the platform is straightforward: every engineer should be free to explore thousands of design options, test them instantly and decide with confidence, not only the specialists who have traditionally held the CAE tools. Founded in Munich in 2012 by five engineers, SimScale is trusted today by more than 800,000 engineers worldwide, at companies including Johnson & Johnson, Mitsubishi, Magna, Toshiba, Bühler, AECOM and Zaha Hadid Architects.

The role

As a Customer Success Manager you own the lifetime value of a book of SimScale accounts: Commercial and High Potential customers, including some enterprise-sized names, from onboarding through renewal and expansion. You carry a renewal and expansion number, and you own it through to signature.

Why this role matters

The contribution of this role is crucial to SimScale's success. Every renewal protected and every expansion landed shows up directly in the company's growth, and the relationships you build determine how deeply simulation takes hold inside each customer's engineering organisation.

This is also a role with room to shape things. Alongside owning your book, you will have the opportunity to help shape and continuously optimise how Customer Success works at SimScale: the customer journey, the playbooks, the segmentation and the tooling, in an international environment with a great deal of opportunity in it.

What you will own

• Your book, end-to-end. A portfolio of Commercial and High Potential accounts through the full journey: onboarding, adoption, mid-term engagement, Business Reviews, renewal and expansion.

• A commercial number you own through to signature. Build and manage your renewal and expansion pipeline, run opportunity management through the pipeline, negotiate contract adjustments and pricing, and close.

• Account growth plan strategy. For every account that matters, define where the value sits today, where the next team, site or use case is, and what needs to happen to get there.

• Expansion campaigns on your key accounts, targeted, multi-touch plays into specific engineering teams and use cases, designed together with Marketing and run to a plan.

• Programme management of the work that unlocks growth: benchmarks, pilots and technical evaluations, coordinated across the customer's engineers and ours, to a clear timeline.

• Organic and referral-led growth. Champion networks, internal referrals, and the word-of-mouth that travels between engineering teams inside a large company.

• Business Reviews customers value attending, anchored on ROI and realised value.

• Customer health. Identify retention risk early, define the mitigation plan and execute it, and decide which pivotal accounts to concentrate on for retention or expansion.

•
