Team Lead Customer Success - Southern Europe - Spendesk H/F Spendesk

Ready to build something that lasts?

At Spendesk, we're looking for a leader who will make it thrive. As Team Lead Customer Success for Southern Europe, you'll take ownership of a team of 8 CSMs, with real decision-making power and a direct impact on retention and revenue expansion across our customer portfolio. You're the bridge between company strategy and the experience our customers live every day across France, Spain, and beyond.

This is a role for someone who loves coaching people just as much as diving into their customers' financial challenges.

What you'll do:

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Leadership & Team Development

• Lead 8 CSMs to excellence: day-to-day direction, prioritisation, support, and continuous skill-building

• Set clear goals: OKRs, KPIs by seniority level, weekly 1:1s, and monthly performance check-ins

• Coach meaningfully: regular sessions, call shadowing, enablement workshops to accelerate individual and team impact

• Run routines that deliver: weekly kick-offs, forecast reviews, pipeline and health checks for sharp, consistent execution

• Grow careers: individual development plans, actionable feedback, recognition, and genuine support for the next step

• Contribute to hiring and onboarding as the team scales

⚙️ Strategic Efficiency & Scalability

• Optimise processes: design and implement workflows, automation, and standards across the full customer lifecycle (Onboarding Adoption Retention)

• Align CS goals with company strategy: close cross-functional collaboration with Sales, Product, Support, Banking, and Legal

• Protect and grow revenue: retention programmes, churn reduction, product adoption expansion across the portfolio

• Champion AI: identify and deploy the right tools to scale customer interactions and boost team productivity

💼 Customer-Centric Operations

• Drive satisfaction and retention across the Southern Europe portfolio

• Get ahead of churn: proactive customer success methodologies to identify risk early and surface growth opportunities

• Deliver seamless customer experiences through tight cross-functional collaboration

• Own complex escalations: with composure, speed, and effectiveness

  Experience & Background:

  • 5+ years in Customer Success, Account Management, or similar customer-facing roles, with a genuine customer-first mindset

  • 2+ years of team leadership or management experience

  • Strong, hands-on knowledge of finance, accounting, or management control: you know how CFOs, Heads of Accounting, and Controllers think, what drives their decisions, and what keeps them up at night

  • Fintech, financial services, banking, or B2B SaaS experience with a finance/accounting customer base: strongly preferred

  • Bonus: you've used Spendesk from the finance or accounting side, and/or you've managed teams across Southern European markets
