How to Apply for Customer Success Manager

at Modo Energy

🏢 About Modo Energy

Modo Energy is a data analytics startup at the intersection of renewable energy and grid-scale battery storage, a rapidly growing sector crucial for net-zero goals. They combine deep energy domain expertise with a product-focused approach, offering a unique opportunity to drive real impact in the energy transition while working with cutting-edge data tools.

About This Role

As a Customer Success Manager, you'll own the end-to-end experience for a portfolio of energy companies using Modo's Terminal, from onboarding through ongoing adoption and retention. Your work directly influences how customers leverage data to optimize battery storage operations, making you a key bridge between product and market needs.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your morning might start with a check of account health dashboards, flagging any users who haven't logged in recently. You'll then have a call with a new battery asset operator to walk through their first custom report, followed by a cross-functional meeting with product to share feedback from a customer who wants a new feature. In the afternoon, you'll run a webinar on advanced Terminal features for existing users and end the day by updating your CRM with notes and next steps.

🎯 Who Modo Energy Is Looking For

  • Has 2–4 years of B2B SaaS customer success experience, ideally with data-heavy or analytics products, and can point to specific examples of driving feature adoption (e.g., increased usage of a dashboard or API).
  • Is comfortable with technical concepts in energy or data analytics—or eager to learn—and can explain complex insights to both analysts and executives.
  • Proactively monitors account health using data (e.g., login frequency, feature usage) and takes action before churn risk escalates, not just reacting to issues.
  • Has used CS tools like HubSpot, Intercom, or Gainsight and can discuss how they leverage them for segmentation, outreach, and health scoring.

1

In your resume, quantify adoption or retention wins (e.g., 'Increased monthly active users by 30% through targeted onboarding campaigns').

2

Tailor your cover letter to mention specific Modo Energy features (like the Terminal's battery valuation models) and how you'd drive their adoption.

3

Show you understand the energy storage market by referencing recent news (e.g., UK battery capacity targets or grid balancing challenges).

4

If you have experience with data products, highlight it—mention any work with APIs, dashboards, or analytics platforms.

5

Research Modo's blog or case studies to speak knowledgeably about their customer base (e.g., asset operators, fund managers) and their pain points.

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your passion for the energy transition and how this role aligns with your career goals in climate tech.', "Specific examples of how you've onboarded or nurtured B2B SaaS accounts, especially in data-driven environments.", 'Your proactive approach to account health—mention a time you identified at-risk accounts and turned them around.', "Your ability to translate customer feedback into product improvements, showing you're a customer advocate."]
