About the Role

Customer Success Managers (CSMs) are the primary post-sales point of contact for customers. They are responsible for onboarding, enablement (including digital adoption), and value realization across Solutions and Research portfolios, and are expected to be fluent across all offerings.

CSMs work closely with Account Managers, Account Support, Product, and other internal support teams to ensure customer objectives and strategic account goals are achieved. For certain product sets, they coordinate technical onboarding with specialist teams and then assume ownership as the main point of contact post-implementation through renewal.

The CSM’s core focus is driving customer engagement, adoption, satisfaction, and long-term success with Elsevier solutions. Acting as a trusted advisor, the CSM protects the existing revenue base while identifying opportunities for retention, renewal growth, and upsell or cross-sell in partnership with Sales and other support functions such as trainers, implementation specialists, and consultants.
