Customer Success Manager - EMEA

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 EMEA Commercial Team is responsible for growing and retaining Upciti OS's portfolio of public sector clients across 17 countries. 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 EMEA 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.
