Summary
Customer Success Management (CSM) — owning the post-sale customer relationship to drive adoption, retention, and expansion across the customer lifecycle. Distinct from Customer Success Operations (Gainsight/CS-platform tooling, process, and data administration) and from Sales Account Management (net-new selling); CSM focuses on guiding customers to realize value, conducting business reviews, monitoring health, managing renewals, and forwarding (not closing) upsell/cross-sell opportunities. This is the Professional (individual-contributor) ladder; people-management steps (Team Lead, Head of/Director, VP, CCO) are noted where the IC track touches them but belong to the management ladder. The IC envelope tops out at the strategic/principal-CSM rung (P6).
