We're looking for a strategic, Sales Planning-savvy Senior CSM to serve as the trusted advisor and outcomes driver for customers adopting CIQ Planning.
As the founding Sales Planning CSM, you'll own the CIQ Planning post-sales lifecycle end-to-end — from implementation through go-live, to ongoing adoption, expansion, and reference ability. You'll combine deep Sales Planning domain expertise with classic Enterprise CSM skills to help customers design, launch, and scale Planning in a way that drives real revenue and operational outcomes.
You'll work cross-functionally with Sales, Product, Professional Services, Support, and CX to define what "great" Planning success looks like, build the methodology others will follow, and turn customer results into roadmap input and revenue impact.
Align with Professional Services to define and enforce clear implementation milestones and exit criteria, including:
Documented use cases and scope sign‑off
Data readiness and integrations sufficient for first and next cycles
Model validation (territories, quotas, capacity) aligned to customer processes
Admin enablement and skills transfer (customer can own 2nd/3rd iterations)
“Next-season runbook” with clear responsibilities and timelines
Support Professional Services and Partner builders with Planning configuration oversight:
Troubleshoot logic, data, and integration issues
Lead co-building and implementation review sessions vs. purely passive reviews
Define and iterate Planning customer profiles and maturity matrices; tailor implementation approaches (advisory vs. full-service vs. self-led) accordingly.
Proactively identify and unblock customer-side risks (data, resourcing, decision bottlenecks) to drive on-time, de-risked go‑lives.
Co-design and maintain the CIQ Planning Implementation & Customer Journey: standardized stages, artifacts, RACI, and a clear "definition of done."
Own the structured post-implementation Planning journey: 30/60/90-day stabilization, off-season usage plays, and pre-season health checks before each new planning cycle
Prevent "planning season only" shelfware by designing adoption plays that embed Planning in ongoing revenue operations
Establish and monitor Planning-specific health signals — plan refresh cadence, off-season logins, admin activity, multi-module usage — and act on them proactively
-
Build and maintain a core cohort of referenceable Planning customers; partner with Marketing on case studies and sales references
Deep understanding of the product roadmap (from enhancements to new features) and ability to tailor relevant roadmap items to each customer at the appropriate times
Act as the internal voice of the Planning customer to Sales (scoping and expectations), Product (roadmap input), CX and Support (coverage and escalations), and Education/PMM (maturity models and learning paths)
Stand up and refine Planning metrics and health signals surfaced in Salesforce, ChurnZero, and dashboards
Support portfolio CSMs and Account Directors on expansion plays: multi-module expansion, adjacent teams (Finance, HR), and broader admin footprint
Run custom working sessions and tailored demos rooted in each customer's current Planning footprint and data
Support renewal and commercial conversations with concrete Planning value stories tied to planning cycles and year-round usage

Discovery, design, and build.

Strategic and consultative skills:
High autonomy and ownership mindset:
Executive communication & influence:
