The Opportunity
Postman’s Scale CS model is a cornerstone of how we deliver customer success across thousands of accounts. This role ensures that the CSM layer of that model runs with clarity, precision, and impact – helping customers achieve measurable outcomes while building a high-performing team that thrives in a modern CS environment.

• This is a hybrid role and must sit in one of our hubs in San Francisco, Boston, or New York City.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and coach a team of Scale CSMs who execute short-term, data-driven customer engagements aligned to key adoption and value outcomes.
• Own the execution and performance of the Scale CSM layer: ensure CSMs are delivering consistently high-quality engagements, using playbooks effectively, providing timely updates, and meeting team-level performance targets.
• Drive accountability and performance across the team through clear expectations, regular feedback, and data-driven oversight.
• Support customer engagements directly as needed, helping CSMs develop strong hypotheses, lead discovery, and drive toward verified business outcomes.
• Run weekly team cadences, provide targeted coaching, and ensure team communications and updates are clear, consistent, and forward-moving.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Sales, Support, and Marketing to ensure Scale CSMs are embedded in the broader customer journey.
• Work in lockstep with the Digital CS lead to ensure seamless integration between automated and human engagement paths – with shared goals, aligned programs, and clear escalation pathways.
• Continuously improve how the team operates, identifying gaps, optimizing processes, and refining playbooks – while surfacing insights that drive automation, strengthen marketing targeting, and inform product-led engagement.
• Provide visibility into team progress, impact, and blockers – including regular reporting, escalation of key issues, and surfacing of strategic insights.

About You

• 8-10+ years of experience in customer-facing roles in SaaS or technical environments, with 5+ years of experience managing high-performing CS or technical account teams.
• Experience leading a CS team in a digital-led or scaled engagement model — ideally in a high-volume, signal-based environment.
• Ability to travel up to 25% (domestic and international).
• Proven ability to coach and manage CS professionals, especially in structured, playbook-driven environments with dynamic customer engagement.
• Comfortable working in scaled, signal-based CS models — you excel at building accountability and momentum in a flexible, high-velocity setting, and you’re energized by the pace and complexity of high-volume customer engagement.
• Strong technical fluency – able to support CSMs engaging with developer tools, APIs, or highly technical users.
• Background in DevTools, APIs, or developer-first platforms and comfort guiding customers with technical use cases.
• Familiarity with tools like Gainsight, Salesforce, Looker, and ideally Postman itself.
• Experience leveraging AI tools and automation to increase team efficiency, streamline workflows, and scale impact.
• Commercially aware, with the ability to coach CSMs on how to identify value stories, spot expansion signals, and partner effectively with AEs.
• Operationally observant, with a strong eye for inefficiencies, friction, or process breakdowns — and a collaborative mindset for surfacing improvements that can inform broader systems thinking.
• Analytical and outcome-oriented, with a track record of using performance data to drive individual and team-level improvements.
• A strong communicator and collaborator – comfortable owning team operations while building trust across GTM and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Highly self-motivated and accountable – you take ownership of your team’s results and raise the bar on what great looks like.

The reasonably estimated base salary for this role ranges from $170,000 to $190,000, plus a competitive equity package. Actual compensation is based on the candidate\’s skills, qualifications, and experience
What Else?
In addition to Postman\’s pay-on-performance philosophy, and a flexible schedule working with a fun, collaborative team, Postman offers a comprehensive set of benefits, including full medical coverage, flexible PTO, wellness reimbursement, and a monthly lunch stipend. Along with that, our wellness programs will help you stay in the best of your physical and mental health. Our frequent and fascinating team-building events will keep you connected, while our donation-matching program can support the causes you care about. We’re building a long-term company with an inclusive culture where everyone can be the best version of themselves.
At Postman, we embrace a hybrid work model. For all roles based out of San Francisco Bay Area, Boston, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and New York, employees are expected to come into the office 3-days a week. We were thoughtful in our approach which is based on balancing flexibility and collaboration and grounded in feedback from our workforce, leadership team, and peers. The benefits of our hybrid office model will be shared knowledge, brainstorming sessions, communication, and building trust in-person that cannot be replicated via zoom.
Our Values

In our work, we focus on specific goals that add up to a larger vision. Our inclusive work culture ensures that everyone is valued equally as important pieces of our final product.
