Senior Customer Success Manager - North America

An Introduction to Primer

Primer is the unified infrastructure for global payments. We give finance and payments teams the visibility and control to reduce complexity, improve performance, and capture more revenue - all from a single platform.

Backed by Sofina, Peak XV Partners, ICONIQ, Tencent, Accel, and Balderton, we're building the payments layer the world's best companies rely on.

Which team will you be joining?

At Primer, the Customer Success team is at the heart of our mission to unify payments and unlock growth through a world-class payments infrastructure. We partner closely with some of the most innovative businesses across the globe, guiding them to make the most of Primer’s powerful platform. From product onboarding to strategic expansion, we’re obsessed with delivering value at every step of the customer journey.

Success at Primer doesn’t mean just retaining customers, it means accelerating their growth. That’s why we focus on measurable outcomes, proactive guidance, and long-term relationships built on trust. If you're excited by the idea of shaping the future of global commerce and being a trusted partner to cutting-edge companies, you’ll fit right in.

What will you be doing?

• This is a founding Customer Success role to spearhead our growth in North America

• You'll work with our merchants on a daily basis, putting their needs first, engaging them at critical points in their journey to ensure adoption, growth and renewal.

• You'll identify and qualify opportunities for growth while ensuring you have a constant view of risks.

• You'll represent the merchant internally at Primer, while progressing opportunities, risks and challenges proactively to ensure a great experience.

• You'll develop a deep understanding of our product and collaborate across teams at Primer to assess and prioritise merchant requests to prime them for growth.

• We're a growing company, where everyone can have an input into how things are done - you'll wear multiple hats and roll up your sleeves, building Primer with us from the ground up.

What we’d love to see:

• Payments experience or related industry experience is preferred, but not essential

• Previous experience in a client-facing role in customer success or account management working with a complex technical product; previous experience in consultancy is a definite plus

• Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to nurture relationships across client stakeholder groups to generate value for both the merchant and Primer

• Skilled at data analysis to identify insights, risks and opportunities to move the needle on merchant operations

• The ability to work in a fast-paced environment with varied, changing objectives - and the ability to balance and prioritise these

• The ability to collaborate and communicate with the Primer team, drawing insights from peers to inform prioritisation and manage expectations

• Structure and organisation - to better excel at discovery to ensure all merchants requirements are clearly understood and prioritised

• Drive and ambition - we're a company that's growing fast, and we want you to grow with us

What's the culture like at Primer?

We're building a culture where people can do their best work and be proud of the impact they have. You'll be working with people who are mission-driven, smart, and reflective, and who are genuinely invested in building exceptional products and delivering success for our merchants.

We work remotely, and have done since day one. We believe that building a successful, profitable company goes beyond proximity. We invest in our relationships through great remote working practices and thoughtfully designed face-to-face time, including workations, our annual company retreat, and access to co-working spaces across most major cities.

The work is challenging. Scaleups are a challenge, and building category-defining products is a challenge. But there's a meaningful difference between a challenge and a struggle. At Primer, the right challenge comes with the right support: strong onboarding, a collaborative environment, and a team that is genuinely invested in your success. It's never something you face alone.
