at Modo Energy

🏢 About Modo Energy

Modo Energy is at the forefront of the renewable energy revolution, using data analytics to optimize grid-scale battery storage. As a fast-growing B2B SaaS company in a critical sector, it offers a unique opportunity to make a tangible impact on the energy transition while working with cutting-edge technology.

About This Role

As a Customer Success Manager, you'll be the primary driver of user adoption and retention for Modo Energy's Terminal product. You'll own the onboarding experience, ensure customers derive maximum value from the platform, and feed critical insights back to the product team to shape future development.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with reviewing account health dashboards in Gainsight, followed by a virtual onboarding session for a new client. You'll then conduct check-in calls with key accounts to identify any issues, and end the day by analyzing feature usage data to plan a targeted training webinar.

🎯 Who Modo Energy Is Looking For

  • Has 2-4 years of B2B SaaS customer success experience, with a proven track record of driving product adoption and managing a portfolio of accounts.
  • Possesses strong product instinct and a proactive approach to monitoring account health, able to identify at-risk accounts and intervene early.
  • Is comfortable with data and analytics, ideally with some familiarity in energy, infrastructure, or data-driven research products.
  • Has experience with CS tools like HubSpot, Intercom, or Gainsight, and can leverage them to streamline workflows and personalize engagement.

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Avoid being generic about 'helping customers' without specific metrics or examples of driving adoption.
  • Do not ignore the industry context; failing to show interest in energy/renewables can hurt your application.
