Principal Customer Success Manager

About Hiya

At Hiya, we’re making business calls more trusted, useful, and effective.

Voice remains one of the most important ways businesses communicate with their customers, but the value of a call depends on trust. When customers do not recognize who is calling or why, important conversations are missed, customer relationships suffer, and business outcomes are harder to achieve.

Hiya helps businesses create trusted calling experiences that benefit both sides of the conversation: enterprises can reach customers with confidence, and customers can answer with confidence. Our products support branded business calling, trusted caller identity, call performance insights, customer engagement, and voice security capabilities that help businesses strengthen relationships and improve outcomes.

This role sits in a core business area for Hiya and is focused on helping SMB and enterprise customers succeed.

What We Are Looking For

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

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

You'll Likely Stand Out If You Have
