Opportunity Summary:

Upland Mobile Messaging (UMM) powers today’s most effective mobile messaging campaigns through text messaging (SMS), multi-media messaging (MMS), and many other channels. We work with some of the biggest nonprofit organizations, government agencies, healthcare groups, and brands in the country, transforming the way that our society uses mobile to communicate. Our amazing customers have included Obama 2012, NYC MTA, Tumblr, National Cancer Institute, Humane Society of the United States, Univision, and many more. With these amazing customers comes exciting and challenging opportunities to help them shape their mobile messaging. Our customers demand exceptional customer service, in-depth knowledge of available technology, and innovative solutions to their messaging dilemmas. We’re looking for nimble, energetic folks to help us scale and expand into new verticals, while providing the best product and service in the industry. We’re hiring a Customer Success Manager on the Mobile Strategy Team to ensure that our customers get what they need when they need it.

Job Responsibilities:

• Leading mobile messaging strategy across almost all verticals.
• Leading in the execution of deliverables (e.g. how SMS relates to social media strategy, community engagement strategy, and overall campaign plan).
• Training new customers, enabling new features.
• Help setting up sophisticated messaging flows, or whatever new challenges our awesome, diverse customers throw at us.
• Training new clients to use the UMM platform, helping them identify initial goals and objectives, and working with them to develop a plan to execute.
• Continually strategizing with customers about incorporating text messaging as a part of general outreach/marketing strategy.
• Providing technical support and customer service that is unmatched by other software companies.

• Upselling current customers, while making important network connections to refer new ones.

Job Requirements:

• You really like technology, even if you think programmers might actually be wizards. You understand the importance of A/B testing, list segmentation, and ongoing supporter engagement.

• You’re comfortable working with a wide variety of organizations, including non-profit organizations, government agencies, and for-profit companies.
