The Manager of Customer Success
CUSTOMER-FOCUSED | INSPIRING | COACH
As a Manager of Customer Success at A Cloud Guru, you'll manage a team of Senior CSMs & Strategic CSMs who own the post-sale customer relationship for our B2B Enterprise side of the business. You will oversee the performance of your team and work as a player/coach to ensure an excellent customer experience for all of our accounts.

Hello, we're A Cloud Guru
Our friends call us ACG.
At ACG, you have the chance to help people change the trajectory of their lives. The chance to help businesses stay in business. The chance to teach the WORLD to cloud, all while working some magic for your own career along the way. At ACG, we make engaging online training packed with personality and slick presentation for an experience more like firing up Netflix, less like a stuffy classroom. Our mission is to teach the world to cloud. 2 million down, 7 billion (give or take) to go.
There aren't many company cultures like A Cloud Guru's in the world. This year, we were awarded the #1 Place to work in Austin, as well as Best Company Culture and Best Companies for Diversity. Who we work with is as important as what we do.
What makes the Customer Experience team awesome...
We’re lucky to serve a loyal base of gurus who are super passionate about ACG. They like actually like us. We do all we can to let them know the feeling is mutual — like showering them with swag or sending individual videos to help learners celebrate getting certified. Keeping it fun is such a big part of our team's culture. We take our jobs seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We're just a random bunch of humans that came together to have fun and help others.

More than a job
Where you work isn’t just a career decision -- it’s a life decision. Everyone has family, friends and interests outside of their careers, so we offer perks and benefits to make work, work better for you.
- 4 weeks PTO, plus 10 sick days, and holidays. Because even when your office is your living room, we all need time to unplug.
- Remotely awesome. Get $500 to level up your home office, monthly snack boxes, free Headspace access, weekly lunch funds, and $50 monthly for internet.
- Remote first environment. Feel connected to your coworkers with events inspired by our values, weekly virtual happy hours, and lunchtime trivia.

What’s the interview process like at ACG?
Applying for a job can feel intimidating and like a full-time job of its own. You shouldn’t have to burn through a week of sick time or all your best out-of-office excuses just to put feelers out for a new career opportunity. We want to be as transparent about the process as possible to help ease your mind. It’s our goal to provide you a fair, efficient interviewing experience that respects you and your time — and to do it all with a sidecar of delight.
Once you submit an application, we’ll review it. If you’re a good fit, you’ll have an initial chat with a recruiter over the phone. A phone interview with a manager typically follows. Depending on your role, you might then be asked to do a little homework (but nothing too time consuming). Then we’ll schedule a Zoom call to meet other members of the team, answer any questions you have, and give you a feel for what it’s really like to work at ACG. If you're on the fence, just give it a try.
Keep being awesome, Cloud Gurus.
