Job description
Upstream is seeking an experienced Customer Success Manager to join our North America team and lead high-touch enterprise relationships across automotive and mobility customers. This role reports to the Director of Customer Success, North America, and works closely with cross-functional leaders across Sales, Product, Data, Research, Cyber, Delivery, and Ops.
This position combines strategic account ownership with hands-on execution. The CSM serves as the primary technical lead and main customer focal point, guiding customers from the early engagement call, PoV, through onboarding, production deployment, operationalization, and ongoing value delivery.

As we grow and scale, we are strengthening structure, accountability, and proactive account management across the region, while maintaining the agility and ownership mindset of a startup.
