• Build strong, trusted relationships with C-level and operational stakeholders, positioning Lightspeed as a long-term strategic partner

• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Customer Success, Implementation, and Support teams to deliver an excellent customer experience

• Collect customer feedback and proactively share it with relevant teams to identify product gaps and optimize the overall customer journey

Requirements

• 3–5+ years of experience in Account Management or Strategic Customer Success within a B2B SaaS environment, ideally with enterprise customers

• A strong understanding of SaaS metrics (NRR, product adoption, expansion, renewals, churn) and the ability to use them to manage your portfolio

• A strong sense of ownership; you are hands-on, data-driven, and highly skilled in relationship management

• Experience managing complex, multi-level stakeholder structures and confidently engaging with C-level, operations, and technical teams

• Fluent business-level French and English

• Experience in the hospitality, POS, or hospitality tech industry is a plus, but not required
