Customer Success Associate

The Customer Success Associate (CSA) is the primary Customer Success point of contact for a large number of smaller Onshape customers who do not have a dedicated Customer Success Manager. The CSA provides these customers with a responsive, consistent, and high-quality experience at scale, helping them navigate questions, resolve issues, and successfully manage their relationship with Onshape.

The CSA ensures these customers receive a responsive, high-quality experience whenever they need assistance. This role owns inbound customer requests across subscription and renewal questions, billing, account administration, product and support navigation, and other general customer needs—either resolving the request directly or connecting the customer with the right Onshape team.

The CSA plays an important role in customer satisfaction and retention by making it easy for customers to get answers, solve problems, and successfully do business with Onshape. The ideal candidate is highly responsive, organized, customer-focused, and comfortable managing a high volume of customer interactions while balancing empathy, urgency, and problem-solving.
