THE ROLE & THE TEAM
As Team Lead Client Success, you take on the functional and people leadership of our Client Success team - currently up to eight Client Success Managers (CSMs) who support our B2B customers on the Zattoo TV platform, with a focus on DACH as well as international accounts. You report to the Director Client Success & Operations. This is a people-first role: you make sure your team has consistent processes, room for individual development, and strong collaboration with adjacent teams. You stay close enough to daily operations to spot issues early, and senior enough to resolve them - through coaching, process improvements, or bringing the right stakeholders together. Commercial ownership and contract management sit with Key Account Management; your focus is people management, process excellence, quality oversight, and internal alignment.

- Keep an eye on our full client portfolio and safeguard consistently high service quality with a view for the bigger picture
- Be a trusted sparring partner for your team in challenging client situations, bringing experience and calm while Account Management leads the escalation
- Represent the CSM team in cross-functional meetings and act as the bridge to teams like Product, Sales, and Finance
- Champion key Zattoo HR processes (engagement, feedback, calibration) within your team and be an ambassador for our unique culture
- Step in as a hands-on CSM - taking full operational ownership of a client portfolio - in the event of extended team member absences or critical resource shortages
WHAT YOU’LL BRING
- 5+ years of experience in Customer Success, Account Management, or comparable B2B client-facing roles, including some people management experience, ideally in the SaaS industry
- A proven ability to coach, develop, and retain a diverse team
- Experience building, documenting, and evolving scalable team processes - without micromanaging
- Strong communication skills across all levels: representing your team and translating company strategy
- Sound judgment under pressure, especially in quickly assessing and steering client escalations
- Enjoyment of cross-functional collaboration with Product, Engineering, Finance, Sales, and the People team
- Technical curiosity and willingness to get familiar with the (sometimes technical) aspects of our IPTV/OTT platform
- Business fluent English (our company language); German at a professional level is a plus for the DACH client context
- Bonus: experience in OTT/IPTV, TV, or streaming services
