Customer Success Manager - Saudi Arabia

About the job

About Upciti

Upciti develops SaaS, IoT, and Computer Vision solutions that help local authorities and urban stakeholders better understand, manage, and transform the use of public space, including mobility, parking, traffic flows, and public space occupancy.

The Saudi Commercial Team is responsible for growing and retaining Upciti OS's portfolio of public sector clients across Saudi Arabia and the region. It bridges the gap between the commercial phase and operational deployment, and directly contributes to recurring revenue growth through client retention and upselling.

After closing, the CSM becomes the client's primary point of contact and takes full ownership of the post-sale relationship. They lead onboarding, drive platform adoption and satisfaction, secure renewals, and independently manage upsell and portfolio growth opportunities across a multicultural international territory.

• Deliver dashboard training to all end users and client-side stakeholders

Portfolio development & growth

• Run structured, regular check-ins (weekly, then bi-weekly, then monthly as the account matures)
• Lead the 90-day Executive Business Review (EBR) with the client's leadership team
• Independently identify and drive upsell opportunities (new use cases, geographic expansion, additional sensors)
• Spot churn risks early and put corrective action plans in place

Cross-functional coordination & continuous improvement

• Act as the bridge between the client and internal teams (product, tech, commercial, project)
• Feed client feedback to the product team and take part in monthly product meetings
• Contribute to building and improving Customer Success processes
