This is a hybrid based in our Raleigh, NC headquarters, requiring 3 days per week in the company office (Monday/Wednesday/Friday). This role is anticipated to have travel requirements up to 20%.
Role Overview:
At Relay, our Customer Success Manager I (Industrial) is a critical revenue-owner and strategic partner within our rapidly evolving Industrial sector. This role serves as a customer strategist tasked with managing a growing portfolio of Mid-Market and Multi-Site accounts across industrial verticals such as food manufacturing, steel recycling, and automotive manufacturing & tier 1 suppliers. You will focus on value realization, account-based expansion, and driving site-level success that unlocks growth within key customer accounts.
This team goes beyond maintaining current states; they drive significant value from existing sites, map complex customer organizations, and develop multi-threaded relationships from frontline teams to corporate offices - identifying expansion opportunities that fuel our growth targets. You will own the post-sale customer journey, ensuring every industrial customer leverages Relay to drive operational leverage in their business.
Relay is at a transformative inflection point, moving from a product-centric communications business to a platform-centric AI leader for the industrial frontline. As a CSM I in our Industrial sector, you are at the tip of the spear for this evolution. You will have the opportunity to define "what good looks like" in sectors like manufacturing, warehousing, and field operations - owning a meaningful piece of our steep growth trajectory.
What you will do:
Strategic Value Realization & Book Management: Use data to interpret health trends across your book and design customer engagements accordingly. You are responsible for customers deriving maximum value from Relay, ensuring site-level success, site expansion, and, where applicable, progressing corporate partnerships. This includes leading the full life cycle of the customer post-sale - from onboarding through adoption, expansion, and renewal - ensuring Relay is deeply embedded in your customers' industrial operations. You embody the brand and build trust in Relay with every customer interaction.
Revenue Ownership (Retention & Expansion): Own the net-revenue growth of your portfolio, which includes minimizing contraction, driving user expansion, and enabling feature upsells and hardware refreshes across your existing sites
Account-Based Motions & Multi-Threading: Execute a "Bottoms-Up, Tops-Down" strategy in partnership with Sales, leveraging site-level wins to accelerate logo velocity and expand corporate-level partnerships across regional and national industrial footprints. Perform deep organizational mapping to ensure total coverage, engaging both site operating leaders and executive decision-makers across departments and facilities.
Cross-Functional Advocacy: Serve as the "Voice of the Industrial Customer" internally by relaying site-level feedback and operational friction points to Product, Marketing, and Sales as we refine our offerings for the industrial frontline - including implementation of new hardware, deployment of new features, and leading initial upsell motions within your book of business. Partner with Support and Billing to ensure any escalations have timely resolution for your customers.
What You'll Have
3+ years of experience in Customer Success, Account Management, or Sales, with a proven track record of managing B2B accounts with account-based motion growth. Experience within Industrial, Manufacturing, Logistics, or similar deskless-workforce sectors is a strong plus.
Strong commercial negotiator anchored in driving value and win-win outcomes. You are comfortable owning a revenue number, navigating contract negotiations, and connecting product metrics to a customer's operational bottom line.
You have an entrepreneurial spirit and aim to deeply understand the varied industrial markets in your command, enabling more effective account strategies that lead customers to achieve their goals with Relay.
Technology is ever-changing; you can iterate and build from an informed perspective, drawing on a deep understanding of customer data and the role AI plays in enabling industrial customer workstreams.
Ability to frame complex risks and opportunities with customers and provide internal advocacy for cross-functional stakeholders. You can navigate disagreement with logic and empathy to keep stakeholders focused on outcomes.
Curiosity and capability to master a sophisticated hardware+software platform. You must be able to articulate Relay's technical advantages over legacy radio incumbents and modern competitors in industrial environments.
Ability to thrive and react to changing business needs within a high-growth environment. You are a self-starter who contributes to writing the playbook rather than just following one.

The Relay Hybrid Work Model
At Relay, relationships are at the core of everything we do - and this translates to how we approach our customers and our work internally. Relay strives to be long-term relational partners versus transactional vendors to our customers. You will be encouraged to get in front of our customers and/or attend a trade show as a Relayer, regardless of your role.
Internally, Relayers endeavor to build authentic, caring, and trusted relationships with each other.
With these principles in mind, and because we believe relationships are formed more quickly and deeply in-person, we greatly value the power of collaborating together with our customers on-site at their properties, and with each other in our spectacular and amenity-rich office.
Our relational approach is also at the heart of why we ask all Relayers in our hybrid model to work from the office a minimum of 3 days per week.
At this time Relay is unable to provide sponsorship for employment. In order to be considered for employment, applicants must be currently legally authorized to work in the US and not require future sponsorship in order to continue working for Relay.
We use AI tools to transcribe and summarize interviews for internal hiring purposes. Transcripts are accessible only to authorized hiring personnel and retained consistent with our data retention policies. Candidates who prefer not to have AI notetaking used may request to opt out without impact to your candidacy. For more information, please see our Candidate and Employee Privacy Notice linked here.
