How to Apply for Customer Success Manager
at Novisto
🏢 About Novisto
Novisto is a specialized SaaS company focused exclusively on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) data and reporting management, helping enterprises transform sustainability from a compliance exercise into a strategic advantage. Unlike generic data platforms, Novisto offers purpose-built solutions that address the unique complexities of ESG reporting frameworks, regulations, and stakeholder demands. Working here means contributing directly to the growing movement of corporate sustainability and helping major companies measure and improve their real-world impact.
About This Role
As a Customer Success Manager at Novisto, you will be the primary strategic partner for enterprise clients, guiding them from implementation through to value realization and expansion within the ESG domain. This role goes beyond traditional support—you'll deeply understand each client's sustainability goals, translate them into actionable plans using Novisto's platform, and own the commercial relationship through renewals and upsells. Your success directly impacts both client retention and Novisto's mission to make ESG management smarter and more effective.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might start with reviewing customer health scores and renewal timelines, followed by a strategic call with a client's sustainability team to align their ESG reporting goals with upcoming regulatory deadlines. You could spend midday coordinating with Novisto's product team on a feature request to better track Scope 3 emissions, then prepare a quarterly business review presentation in both English and French for an executive stakeholder. The day often ends with updating account plans and prioritizing next steps for expansion opportunities across your portfolio.
🚀 Application Tools

- Demonstrates a structured, analytical approach to managing multiple client portfolios autonomously, with examples of using data to drive renewal/expansion outcomes.
