About the role
We recently launched ChatGPT Edu—a tool designed to support students, faculty, and researchers in higher education. We are looking for a Customer Success Manager to collaborate directly with our Education customers: Higher Education institutions and K-12 school districts as they adopt ChatGPT Edu. The EDU CSM will be responsible for helping build Education AI Use Cases, manage technical training sessions, and ensure high engagement from administrators, faculty, and students.
You are crucial to the success of these educational institutions and will be instrumental in driving adoption and value of our products, ultimately responsible for understanding our customer’s needs and delivering an excellent experience. You’ll also represent OpenAI as a thought leader in AI for education, and partner with researchers, engineers, and customers to help drive the adoption of AI.

Create and implement customer success plans that outline goals, potential challenges, KPIs, and timelines.
Codify best practices, guides, and FAQs based on interactions with customers.
Gather and relay customer feedback to internal stakeholders, and identify themes across customers to incorporate into product planning.
Collaborate closely with the Sales team to ensure seamless handoff between pre- and post-sale.
Anticipate at-risk renewals or user churn and collaborate with the relevant internal teams to devise corrective action plans.
Foster customer advocacy and facilitate customer testimonials and case studies.
You’ll thrive in this role if you:
Have 7+ years of experience in a customer success (or similar) role, managing relationships with large, global, and complex organizations, preferably working with a technical enterprise product.
Have experience working in the Education industry, specifically deploying software into education institutions
Are scrappy and intense. You have entrepreneurial experiences, and are comfortable building new initiatives from scratch.

Possess strong presentation and communication skills, particularly when engaging with executives and leaders.
Can proactively identify pain points in the product and with our customers.
Have a humble attitude, an eagerness to help others, and a desire to pick up whatever knowledge you're missing to make both your team and our customers succeed.
