Job Title: Customer Success Specialist

Location: Remote

About the Role

• You’ll own a portfolio of business customers, from 3PLs, online vendors and SMEs to e-commerce brands and enterprise shippers, and be responsible for their health, retention and growth on Terminal Africa.
• This is a strategic, commercial role.
• You’ll monitor shipping activity to catch risk early, prevent churn before it happens, bring dormant accounts back and help existing customers get more from Terminal.
• You’ll be a trusted partner to everyone, from technical teams integrating our Shipping API to business owners who are less comfortable with technology.

Responsibilities & Duties Look after your accounts:

• Own the relationship with every account in your portfolio, from decision-makers to day-to-day contacts.
• Track shipment volume, usage and account health, and act quickly on drops in volume or engagement.
• Run regular business reviews covering shipping performance, open issues, what’s new and opportunities.
• Be the escalation point for complex or high-value issues, working with Operations, carrier partners, Finance and Tech to resolve them.
• Guide less tech-savvy customers patiently through our platform, plugins and processes, in plain language.

Keep them and grow them:

• Spot at-risk accounts early and act before customers churn.
• Find dormant accounts, understand why they stopped shipping, and bring them back.
• Own the expansion target for your existing customers, finding upsell and cross-sell opportunities such as more volume, international lanes, the Shipping API, the WooCommerce plugin or shipment insurance.
• Lead customer communication for new launches, so customers adopt what’s new.

Make the team and product better:

• Report on portfolio health, retention, churn and reactivation to leadership.
• Bring customer feedback to Product as clear, evidence-backed requests, and close the loop with the customer.
• Mentor junior CX team members and build playbooks the team can use.
• Spot the issues that keep coming up, and propose fixes, automations or better processes.

What success looks like in 6 months

• Every account you own has a health status, an account plan and a clear next step.
• Net revenue retention on your portfolio is at or above target.
• Churn in your portfolio is falling, with at-risk accounts flagged and acted on early.
• Dormant accounts have been reactivated and are shipping again.
• Customers in your portfolio are using more of Terminal, including at least one moving onto a new product.

What You’ll Bring

• 3 – 5 years in account management, customer success or technical account management, in logistics, e-commerce, fintech or B2B SaaS, with experience growing accounts.
• Hands-on CRM experience (accounts, pipelines, workflows and reports).
• A track record of hitting retention, upsell or expansion targets.
• Comfort analysing shipping and revenue data in spreadsheets or CRM dashboards to spot trends.
• Outgoing and confident: as comfortable on a call with a frustrated merchant as presenting to our leadership team, and able to explain technical things simply.
• Tech-savvy: you’re excited by new tools and automation, often the first to try one and show the team how it helps.
• A problem-spotter: you notice what’s not working before others do, and come with a fix, not just a flag. You work independently and don’t wait to be told.

Nice to have:

• Understanding of logistics: carriers, last-mile delivery, international shipping, customs and claims.
• Experience with Zoho CRM, Zoho Desk or Zoho Analytics.
• Experience building churn-prevention, health-scoring or reactivation playbooks.
• Experience working with e-commerce merchants or SMEs in Africa.

What You’ll Gain

• Salary in the range of ₦600,000 – ₦750,000 per month, depending on experience.
• The chance to shape how account management works at Terminal: the playbooks, the health scoring and the way the team works.
• A direct line to leadership, with your insights feeding into product and company decisions.
• Room to experiment with automation to manage accounts at scale.
• A clear path to grow, with your scope widening as your results show.
