Customer Success Manager - German Speaking - London Based

SoPost is a pioneering digital sampling company that connects brands with consumers in innovative and meaningful ways. Our mission is to make it easier for brands to engage with their audience through personalised and data-driven sampling solutions. We work with more than 200 different brands, including the largest beauty and FMCG groups. In 2020, we ranked in the top 50 of the Sunday Times Tech Track 100, and since then, our growth trajectory has been significant. 2022 brought great pride when we were awarded the 'Advanced Good Work Pledge', and in 2023, we were presented with the prestigious Queen's Award for Enterprise: International Trade. In 2024, we were also thrilled to have been named in the Sunday Times Top 100 Places to Work.

We believe that it is not just our technology which sets us apart but also our people and we have an ambition to build a team of the most talented individuals in our industry.

We are looking to hire a German-speaking Customer Success Manager who can work closely with our global brand partners in the EMEA region, as well as supporting our internal teams to help them execute campaigns seamlessly. You will join our friendly, supportive and well-established London Customer Success team. Candidates will require excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to quickly build and maintain relationships with brand partners that ensure the smooth running of campaigns, exceptional service, and powerful insights that drive customer retention.

Reporting to our EMEA Customer Success Team Lead, the successful candidate will need to be organised, methodical in approach, efficient and a team player. Supporting the other team members with product development, account expansion, creation of collateral, and post campaign analysis will also play key parts in this role. With a focus on building and monitoring live campaigns, you will liaise with brand partners to collate relevant campaign collateral, build out post campaign reports, and work with our warehouse operations team to coordinate stock management.

While operational excellence remains a key aspect of the role, it is increasingly consultative, requiring strong problem‐solving skills and the ability to guide brands toward success. Candidates who are methodical, detail‐oriented, and thrive in a deadline‐driven environment will be well‐positioned to excel.

This is a full time role where the successful candidate will be expected to work on a hybrid basis in our London office (EC4A 4AB) for a minimum of 2 days per week.
