Holborn, London (Mon & Fri WFH)
£45k–£55k base | £60k–£70k OTE

 
Certus Recruitment Group is working with a fast-scaling, mission-led SaaS business transforming how schools approach student wellbeing.
 
In the last 12 months alone, they’ve grown their client base by 300% and now support schools across the UK and 40+ countries globally. With usage set to triple again, they’re investing in Customer Success to ensure every school sees real, measurable impact.
 
This is a high-touch, consultative CSM role where you’ll work directly with educators, leaders, and stakeholders to drive adoption, engagement, and long-term success.
 
The Role
 
You’ll own a portfolio of ~150 schools, acting as a trusted advisor across teachers, leadership teams, and wider stakeholders.
 
This is not a passive account management role.
 
You’ll be hands-on — coaching, guiding, and influencing schools to get the most out of the platform, improve student outcomes, and embed wellbeing into everyday learning.
 
Success here is measured through retention, engagement, and growth.
 
Responsibilities
  • Build strong, consultative relationships with teachers and school leaders
  • Run discovery sessions to understand each school’s goals, challenges, and priorities
  • Create and execute tailored success plans to drive adoption and outcomes
  • Deliver training sessions (1:1 and group) to drive engagement across classrooms
  • Use data to identify risks and proactively intervene to protect retention
  • Own renewals and expansion conversations across your portfolio
  • Drive increased usage and footprint within existing accounts
  • Feed customer insights back into product and wider business strategy
Requirements
  • 2–4 years’ experience in a SaaS Customer Success (or similar) role
  • Proven experience owning customer relationships, including renewals and growth
  • Strong relationship-building skills — consultative, empathetic, and credible
  • Confident influencing stakeholders and driving behavioural change
  • Comfortable delivering training, onboarding, or workshops
  • Highly organised, able to manage a large portfolio without losing detail
  • Self-starter mindset with the ability to operate in a fast-growth environment
Nice to have:
  • Experience working with or selling into schools / education
  • Exposure to mission-led or impact-driven products
Why Join
  • Mission-led product tackling a genuinely important global challenge
  • High-growth environment with strong demand and market momentum
  • Small, high-performing team with real ownership and autonomy
  • Profitable, independent business with no external pressure or noise
  • Hybrid working (central London office + flexibility)
  • International exposure with a global customer base
  • Regular team meetups across international locations
Bottom Line
 
If you enjoy working closely with customers, driving real outcomes, and being part of a business with purpose — this is a strong opportunity to step into a high-impact CSM role.
 
Particularly suited to someone who wants more ownership, more influence, and more meaning in what they’re doing day-to-day.
