Come join our team as we develop new ways to improve the lives of working Americans.

About the role:

The Customer Success Operations Manager builds and operates Branch’s scaled Customer Success model for approximately 1,000 non-managed accounts. At Branch, revenue is driven by product usage — payout volume, card swipes, transfers, and active user growth — rather than contractual renewals. This role increases engagement, detects silent churn risk, drives product adoption, and surfaces expansion opportunities through a data-driven, tech-touch model.

Operating in a 1:many framework, this role designs segmentation strategies, behavioral health scoring, and lifecycle engagement programs — while selectively engaging high-risk or high-growth accounts where personalized outreach can meaningfully impact retention or expansion. This is not a quota-carrying role, but it plays a critical part in protecting and growing usage-based revenue across the portfolio.

This role carries a strong expectation of leveraging AI tools — including Claude and workflow automation platforms — to build, automate, and scale programs. At Branch, every team member is expected to think like a builder: using AI to create new capabilities, automate repeatable work, and continuously improve how we operate.

• Collaborate with CX Operations to integrate AI-powered tooling into existing systems and workflows
• Stay current on emerging AI capabilities and proactively propose new applications that create leverage across the portfolio

Targeted Direct Outreach

• Partner with Support and Product to resolve systemic blockers impacting engagement

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with CX Operations to leverage automation and tooling enhancements

• Operate as a power user of Looker and HubSpot as the two primary data systems for this role, pulling usage/revenue data from Looker and account/engagement data from HubSpot to drive decision-making across all program areas

Success Metrics

• Portfolio-level payout and transaction volume trends
• Active account retention (behavioral retention)
• Adoption of priority features
• Reduction in silent churn indicators
• Engagement rates across lifecycle campaigns
• Qualified expansion signals surfaced to Sales

Qualifications

Required

• 5+ years of experience in Customer Success, CS Operations, Growth, or usage-based SaaS/fintech environments
• Experience operating in a tech-touch or scaled portfolio model
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret behavioral and revenue data; comfortable working directly in BI tools such as Looker to build and modify reports
• Hands-on experience with HubSpot (segmentation, campaign execution, and CRM data management) and familiarity with BI/analytics platforms (Looker preferred) for usage and revenue reporting
• Demonstrated ability to translate data insights into structured customer programs
• Strong written communication and cross-functional collaboration skills
• Demonstrated experience using AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot) to build workflows, automate tasks, or create operational tooling — not just prompting, but building
• Builder mindset: a bias toward creating solutions over requesting them, with comfort iterating quickly and learning by doing

Preferred

• Experience with workflow automation platforms (e.g., n8n, Zapier, Make) to connect systems and automate multi-step processes
• Familiarity with AI-assisted data analysis, reporting, or content generation in an operational context
