AI at Humanforce
At Humanforce, we’re not experimenting at the edges of AI, we’re redesigning the core of how we operate. We see AI as a fundamental shift, not an incremental improvement, and we’re deliberately moving toward becoming an AI-native organisation.
That means rethinking how work gets done end-to-end, how we build our products, make decisions, serve customers, and scale impact. We’re not layering AI onto old ways of working, we’re redefining and reimagining our processes, tools, and team structures to take full advantage of what AI makes possible.
This is a moment of real change. We’re moving fast, learning in real time, and challenging assumptions about roles, workflows, and productivity. If you’re motivated by transformation, not optimisation, and want to help shape how a global tech company serves its customers in an AI-first future, Humanforce is the place to do it.
Who you are
You are a commercially sharp and relationship-driven customer success professional who operates at the strategic level. You manage a portfolio of Humanforce’s most significant enterprise customers with a long-term mindset, focused not just on renewals, but on measurable outcomes, deep product adoption, and genuine partnership. You understand that customer health is a commercial outcome, and you take personal accountability for it.
You bring a rare combination of executive presence and operational rigour. You can hold a boardroom conversation with a Chief People Officer one hour and dive into a platform challenge the next. You don’t just manage relationships, you shape them, bringing proactive insights, honest guidance, and a clear point of view on how Humanforce can help customers achieve what matters most to their business.
You are energised by complexity. You thrive when navigating multi-stakeholder environments, balancing competing priorities, and turning ambiguous situations into clear plans of action. You are the kind of CSM that customers call when something goes wrong, not because they expect you to fix it instantly, but because they trust you to own it and drive it to resolution with urgency and care. You are a voice for the customer inside Humanforce, and a collaborator who makes every team around you better.
