Strategic Customer Success Manager

About Us
At Hiya, we're making calls safe, useful, and human again. Voice is the most human form of communication, yet it's become one of the least trusted. Spam, scams, and AI manipulation have eroded what was once a simple way to connect.

Each month our AI voice technology analyzes 28+ billion calls, protecting over 550 million users and 800+ businesses worldwide. Partnering with a growing global network including, AT&T, Samsung, British Telecom EE, Rogers, MasOrange,Bell Canada, MasMovil, and Virgin Media O2, we're not just stopping bad actors, we're helping people feel good and confident about picking up the phone again. This is a pivotal moment for voice.

As new threats and technologies accelerate, so does demand for trusted voice communication. Hiya is growing 40%+ year over year, expanding globally, and defining what voice becomes next. Join us.

You won't just work on what voice is today, you'll shape what it becomes tomorrow: smarter, safer, and genuinely worth answering again.

About the Role
We’re hiring a Strategic Customer Success Manager to own and grow a small portfolio of Hiya’s most strategic Nordic customers. This role sits at a critical point of growth, with several major customers launching and scaling rapidly. This is a post-sales “quarterback” role. You’ll drive adoption, lead complex programs, deliver measurable value, and unlock multi-million dollar growth within a focused set of high-value telecom accounts. You’ll operate across executive engagement, technical delivery, and commercial expansion—bringing structure to ambiguity and momentum to complex environments.

Build senior relationships and lead QBRs, influencing customer strategy and direction

Act as the central point of coordination across Sales, Product, Engineering, and Support

Manage risk, escalations, and performance to ensure consistent delivery and customer success

What You Bring
5+ years in Customer Success, Strategic Accounts, or similar roles in SaaS or platform businesses

Experience managing large, complex enterprise customers (7-figure / multi-million ARR)

Strong track record across the full post-sales lifecycle: adoption, delivery, renewals, and growth

Proven ability to drive commercial outcomes—not just relationships

Solid program management skills; comfortable leading complex, cross-functional initiatives

Confidence operating in technical environments (APIs, integrations, pilots/POCs)

Strong stakeholder management, including executive-level engagement

Highly proactive, data-driven, and comfortable operating in ambiguity

Fluency or strong proficiency in Nordic languages (Swedish, Finnish, Danish, or Norwegian) is highly desirable

Preferred:
Experience in telecommunications or highly regulated enterprise environments

Familiarity with Nordic business culture and markets

Background in voice technology, network security, or AI-driven products

How We Work
Hiya is not a passive environment. We expect people to take ownership, form opinions, and engage directly with hard problems.
We work with a high degree of transparency and autonomy. Context is shared openly, and decisions are discussed, challenged, and then made. Once a call is made, we commit and move forward.
You'll be expected to work through ambiguity, weigh tradeoffs, and take responsibility for results, while keeping a high bar for quality and customer trust.
Every team member at Hiya is expected to live our core values:
Serve, our customers and partners by holding a high bar for trust and quality

Own, share in success and open up to failures

Lead, listen, show up with a point of view but commit entirely once a decision has been made

Improve, even if it means changing course or contradicting ourselves

Do, rather than observe
