About the Company
Our client is a global hospitality technology company delivering online training and professional development across 180 countries. We empower hotels, resorts, and hospitality groups—including brands like Accor, Best Western, Wyndham, and Radisson—to build stronger teams across service, operations, leadership, and guest experience.
About the Role:
The purpose of this role is to administer, configuring, reporting, troubleshooting, customer service and repeatable tasks of the Customer Success Managers (CSMs), so their time goes to understanding, advising, engaging, visiting customers, measuring outcomes and retaining and growing accounts.
It is designed to do three main things:
* Execute the operational work customers and CSMs generate — inbound requests, playlists, learning assignments, licence adjustments, platform configuration and renewal set-up — owning each request through to completion, communicating progress and keeping the CSM updated.
* Provide a consistent Customer Operations service through one shared work queue, ensuring operational requests are visible, prioritised and completed to agreed service standards.
* Maintain accurate customer, licence, renewal and opportunity data across Salesforce and Typsy Admin, working with CSMs and Finance so both systems reflect the same current position.
Key Responsibilities
Salesforce Data Maintenance
* Liaise with CSMs so that every active account and Salesforce opportunity carries a current, forward-looking task and note — next action, owner and due date — so the Gong forecast always displays them, following up where an opportunity is blank or out of date ahead of each forecast submission. Customer Operations owns CRM quality and compliance; the CSM owns the strategic account narrative and forecast judgement.
* Maintain accurate, complete and current customer, contact, account and opportunity records in Salesforce, applying consistent naming conventions and field completeness standards.
* Ensure the accuracy of renewal opportunities, including reference to the original contract and associated upgrade or downgrade. The CSM remains accountable for renewal strategy, customer conversation, forecast and outcome.
Inbound Customer Service Support
* Manage inbound reactive customer service requests across email, Intercom and phone, ensuring operational work is captured in Intercom as the shared Customer Operations work queue and responded to within agreed service standards.
* Triage requests, resolve what can be resolved at first contact, and escalate strategic or relationship matters to the relevant CSM and billing or finance matters to Finance — retaining ownership of the operational request through to closure and keeping the customer and CSM updated.
* Capture recurring themes from inbound requests and raise them as process or system improvements rather than repeatedly resolving the same issue.
User & Licence Administration — Volumes, Requests & Configuration
* Adhere to the agreed process for managing licence volumes — licences paid for, licences offered free of charge, and licences that need to be billed at renewal.
* Monitor licence recycling with reference to customer contracts. Escalate to the CSM when approaching recycling limits.
* Maintain the contracted and uncontracted licence position accurately in both Typsy Admin and Salesforce, so both systems reflect the same picture.
* Flag licences offered free of charge that fall due for billing at renewal and escalate volume discrepancies before they reach an invoice.
* Manage user administration in Typsy Admin — set-up, changes and deactivations — keeping internal records aligned with what the customer is contracted for.
* Create playlists, learning assignments, custom configuration and other agreed engagement initiatives requested by customers or CSMs, built to the customer's time zone and to CSM requirements.
* Confirm scope, timing and priority with the requesting CSM before execution, communicate progress with the customer where appropriate, and confirm back once delivered.
Renewal Administration, Reporting, Systems & Process
* Maintain the renewals calendar, setting up renewal reminders and adjusting as renewal dates and terms move.
* Coordinate renewal timing between Finance and Customer Success so both functions work from the same calendar and the same dates.
* Provide advance visibility of upcoming renewals, so conversations start early rather than in the month a renewal falls due. Customer Operations supports renewal administration; the CSM owns renewal strategy, relationship, negotiation and outcome.
* Build and maintain custom reports in Salesforce and Typsy Admin to agreed CSM requir
Tips for South African Applicants
Timezone Advantage
South Africa (SAST, UTC+2) overlaps well with European business hours and has a few hours of overlap with US East Coast. Mention your timezone flexibility in your application.
Salary in Context
At R46,250/month, this role is competitive with the average South African remote salary. The USD equivalent ($2,500/mo) benefits from the favourable exchange rate.
Application Tips
Tailor your CV to international standards — use a clean format, highlight remote work experience, and include your English proficiency. Many SA applicants succeed by emphasising their strong work ethic and cultural adaptability.
Load Shedding Preparedness
If you're applying for a remote role, having a backup power solution (UPS, inverter, or generator) and mobile data as a backup internet connection shows employers you're prepared for South Africa's infrastructure challenges.
