The CSAM (IC1) is an early-in-career Customer Success Account Manager who delivers standardized customer success outcomes spanning executive partnership, solution health, cloud adoption, and AI acceleration activities. These CSAMs act within a pod model.

Working under the direction of senior CSAMs and an M1 Manager, the CSAM operates within a defined pod covering a shared portfolio of accounts. The role contributes to portfolio-level intelligence, execution orchestration, and reactive signal aggregation – reducing context-switching for senior CSAMs and accelerating customer outcomes.

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.

Responsibilities

Executive partnership and execution

• Execute standardized executive partnership, solution health, cloud adoption, and AI acceleration tasks under direct guidance from senior CSAMs or CSU leaders.
• Support agent and Copilot adoption motions across assigned pod accounts.
• Complete assigned activities accurately and on time; escalate exceptions rather than independently diagnose them.

Portfolio-level intelligence and preparation

• Maintain deep, current account context across the pod’s defined portfolio.
• Synthesize account signals into “what’s changed / what matters now”
• Detect risks, upcoming deliveries, upcoming milestones, and open threads.
• Detect portfolio patterns such as recurring blockers across multiple accounts.

Execution orchestration (not delivery)

• Track delivery and milestone progress with partners and CSAs on behalf of senior CSAMs.
• Map dependencies across workloads and milestones.
• Proactively flag drift before the customer raises it.
• Coordinate remediation follow-ups across internal teams.

Reactive signal aggregation

• Monitor reactive support signals – case volume, aging, repeat drivers – across the pod portfolio.
• Aggregate reactive trends into portfolio-level views and surface early warnings of escalation risk.
• Track follow-through on Support, IM, and Service Manager commitments; chase stalled internal owners.
• Distill reactive noise into CSAM-ready insights, not raw data.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree in Business, Sociology, Psychology, Computer Science or related field OR equivalent experience.
• Fluency to read, write and speak in English.

Preferred Qualifications

• 0–2 years of professional experience in program management, customer-facing operations, technology delivery, or analytics.
• Demonstrated comfort with AI tools and AI-first ways of working.
• Coursework or experience in program management, business operations, or an MBA in progress or completed.
• Exposure to enterprise software, cloud platforms, or B2B customer success.
• Experience working in pod, squad, or matrixed team structures.
