Team Lead, Customer Success - Southern Europe
Ready to build something that lasts?
At Spendesk, we're looking for a leader who will make it thrive. As Team Lead Customer Success for Southern Europe, you'll take ownership of a team of 8 CSMs, with real decision-making power and a direct impact on retention and revenue expansion across our customer portfolio. You're the bridge between company strategy and the experience our customers live every day across France, Spain, and beyond.
This is a role for someone who loves coaching people just as much as diving into their customers' financial challenges.
What you'll do:
🧑🤝🧑 Leadership & Team Development
Lead 8 CSMs to excellence: day-to-day direction, prioritisation, support, and continuous skill-building
Set clear goals: OKRs, KPIs by seniority level, weekly 1:1s, and monthly performance check-ins
Coach meaningfully: regular sessions, call shadowing, enablement workshops to accelerate individual and team impact
Run routines that deliver: weekly kick-offs, forecast reviews, pipeline and health checks for sharp, consistent execution
Grow careers: individual development plans, actionable feedback, recognition, and genuine support for the next step
Contribute to hiring and onboarding as the team scales
⚙️ Strategic Efficiency & Scalability
Optimise processes: design and implement workflows, automation, and standards across the full customer lifecycle (Onboarding → Adoption → Retention)
Align CS goals with company strategy: close cross-functional collaboration with Sales, Product, Support, Banking, and Legal
Protect and grow revenue: retention programmes, churn reduction, product adoption expansion across the portfolio
Champion AI: identify and deploy the right tools to scale customer interactions and boost team productivity
💼 Customer-Centric Operations
Drive satisfaction and retention across the Southern Europe portfolio
Get ahead of churn: proactive customer success methodologies to identify risk early and surface growth opportunities
Deliver seamless customer experiences through tight cross-functional collaboration
Own complex escalations: with composure, speed, and effectiveness
Experience & Background:
5+ years in Customer Success, Account Management, or similar customer-facing roles, with a genuine customer-first mindset
2+ years of team leadership or management experience
Strong, hands-on knowledge of finance, accounting, or management control: you know how CFOs, Heads of Accounting, and Controllers think, what drives their decisions, and what keeps them up at night
Fintech, financial services, banking, or B2B SaaS experience with a finance/accounting customer base: strongly preferred
Bonus: you've used Spendesk from the finance or accounting side, and/or you've managed teams across Southern European markets
