Are you excited by the opportunity to help organizations get more value from technology while building a career in customer success? As a Customer Success Account Manager (CSAM) on the Americas Customer Success Consumption Excellence team, you will support established Americas customers with significant potential to expand their use of cloud and AI technologies. Many are earlier in their transformation journey, giving you the opportunity to engage at a pivotal stage, strengthen solution health, accelerate Azure and AI adoption, and help customers turn ambitious priorities into measurable business value and scalable long-term success.
You will learn how Microsoft partners with customers, work alongside experienced account CSAMs, and contribute directly to customer programs and reviews. With coaching and clear playbooks, you will build stakeholder relationships, coordinate delivery activities, track progress, surface risks, and help customers achieve meaningful business outcomes.
You do not need to arrive with prior professional experience or as a fully developed customer success expert. This role is designed to help you grow through structured onboarding, hands-on learning, mentoring, regular feedback, and increasing responsibility as your confidence, technical knowledge, and customer skills develop.
To prepare for the role, you will be enrolled in the Early-in-Profession (EiP) Program. This program exemplifies the company’s commitment to developing early-career talent through robust onboarding and mentorship. These programs are designed to accelerate new hires’ productivity, integrate them into Microsoft’s culture, and set them on a path for long-term growth within the company. Participants in EiP benefit from a comprehensive onboarding experience that includes immersive training, structured job shadowing with colleagues, and continuous support from dedicated mentors. By investing heavily in the first six months of a new employee’s tenure, Microsoft ensures its early-in-career hires build essential skills, confidence, and professional networks that will enable them to excel.
