Fishbowl Customer Success Manager

About the role

Fishbowl is looking for a hands-on, customer-obsessed Manager of Customer Success to lead our Account Management and Onboarding team and own the health of our largest restaurant brands. This role is accountable for successful launches, retention, and the overall experience of Fishbowl’s enterprise and multi-unit customers. You will lead and develop a team of 3–5 Account and Onboarding Managers while serving as a strategic partner to customers, GoTab teams, and senior leadership.

The Manager of Customer Success is a true player-coach. You will carry a select portfolio of strategic accounts while setting the standards, process, and operating rhythm for the broader team. You will also be the team’s go-to expert on how the platform works, from loyalty and offers to guest data and POS integrations, and work closely with GoTab’s Customer Success, Onboarding, and Product teams as the two platforms come closer together.

You will succeed in this role if you:

• Balance team leadership with hands-on customer ownership when it matters most.
• Are energized by complex launches and getting large brands live on time.
• Can dig into a technical problem and tell a configuration issue from a product bug.
• Build and develop high-performing teams with clear accountability and growth paths.
• Hold a high bar for customer health, proactive communication, and execution.

If you are motivated by launching loyalty and guest marketing programs for some of the best-known restaurant brands, turning hard-won product knowledge into repeatable process, and building a Customer Success team that scales, this role is for you.
