Strategic Customer Success Manager

Customer Success Manager

The Cortex Customer Success team works directly with our customers to define outcomes and deliver value through the adoption of our smart building analytics product. We are growing rapidly and looking for a Customer Success Manager (CSM) with a customer-first mentality that understands the value of cultivating relationships with our customers in order to drive business outcomes.

Who are we:

A Human-First organization that is passionate about creating the fastest and lowest-cost path to decarbonize buildings. Real estate is the single largest contributor to carbon emissions, with buildings and construction generating nearly 40% of global carbon emissions. As the wave of sustainability incentives and requirements sweep across the US and the world, buildings are going to be right in the middle of decarbonizing, and it’s happening now. 

Last year we helped our clients save over 23,000 tons of CO2, which is the equivalent of taking over 13,000 cars off the road. Unlike our competitors, we require no new sensors, and no equipment upgrades. On average we see an 11% reduction in CO2 emissions for our clients. We are serving clients in 10 markets, including Canada, and serve some of the biggest brands in the market, including Empire State Realty Trust and Silverstein Properties.
