Customer Success Manager

Grammarly offers a remote-first hybrid working model. Team members can work primarily remotely. Teams will meet in person every quarter in one of Grammarly’s hubs, currently in San Francisco, Vancouver, New York, and Kyiv. To ensure that teams are able to overlap in their working hours and to meet face-to-face when needed, all team members need to live within three time zones of their direct team.
Please note our Kyiv hub is currently closed, but we hope the time comes soon when we can reunite with team members there. We continue to provide support to our Ukraine team members displaced within and outside of Ukraine.

Grammarly empowers people to thrive and connect, whenever and wherever they communicate. More than 30 million people and 30,000 teams around the world use our AI-powered writing assistant every day. All of this begins with our team collaborating in a values-driven and learning-oriented environment.
In 2021, Grammarly expanded its focus to assist students in mastering effective written communication and help faculty create a more equitable and effective teaching environment. As effective communication is the foundation of the modern workplace, Grammarly for Education is poised to be the application of choice for educational institutions of all sizes as they prepare students to enter the workforce as confident and professional communicators.
We are seeking a customer-centric, energetic, and highly motivated individual to join our Grammarly for Education Customer Success team. The Customer Success Manager (CSM) will be responsible for cultivating and maintaining strong relationships within assigned education accounts, ensuring high levels of customer satisfaction and leading to successful renewals and expansion opportunities.
