Job Description
Who we are
Hi there 👋 We’re Ethena, compliance training that customizes itself to you. Ethena combines top-rated training content with intelligent AI that builds and adapts training to reflect your company’s unique brand, roles, policies, and risks, so it feels like your team, whether that’s hard hats or virtual meetings. From auto-assigning courses based on HRIS data to transforming your policies into interactive training in minutes, Ethena helps People, Legal, and Compliance teams launch in days (not months) and cut learner seat time by up to 60% with adaptive learning paths. Ethena supports 1M+ learners across 2,000+ organizations, with a 93% learner approval rating and 96% customer renewal rate. Over the past several years, we’ve delivered consistent, durable growth, including 120%+ net dollar retention, 95%+ gross dollar retention, and strong enterprise expansion across industries. Ethena has become a go-to compliance partner for modern, global organizations.
Beyond training, Ethena unifies core compliance tools, Hotline & Case Management, Policy Bot, and Phishing Simulator, into a single platform, with built-in audit trails and compliance controls teams can trust.
Trusted by teams at companies like Genesco, Asana, Pinterest, and Synaptics, it’s a great time to join us.
How we work
We’re a team that values diversity in all its forms and loves adding new perspectives. We ask thoughtful questions, challenge assumptions, and build with empathy, for customers and for each other. We care about craft, we love feedback, and we take ownership. We also embrace humor (yes, the puns are real), because doing serious work doesn’t have to feel so serious.
Our workforce is fully remote, and your personal working hours can be based on your own timezone. All team-wide meetings are scheduled to be inclusive of all North American time zones.
Who we’re looking for
Ethena is looking for a driven, strategic Customer Success Manager to work with our growing portfolio of mid-market customers. First and foremost, you’ll be the guardian of these customer relationships, ensuring that customers are adopting and seeing value with Ethena.
As our team’s first Mid-Market CSM, you’ll also have the opportunity to influence and develop our customer journey and define new ways of efficiently supporting our customers as we grow. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys helping customers find success and always has an eye out for ways to do things better.
Why Ethena? Because it’s a need-to-have vs. a nice-to-have. We save companies thousands of hours a year with innovative ways to deliver compliance training, deliver 93% learner-loved content, and meet compliance needs without creating administrative overhead. In a world where every tool is expected to do more with less, Ethena delivers for admins, employees, and leadership teams alike.

What You’ll Do
- Be the architect of the Ethena experience for our most complex customers
- Drive Multi-Product Mastery: Act as a strategic consultant for customers utilizing our full suite - from Training to Hotline and Phishing - ensuring they aren’t just “happy” but are fully activated and seeing measurable ROI across every tool.

- Leverage AI in the Customer Journey: As our first Mid-Market CSM, you will design the blueprints for how we support multi-product users, creating scalable frameworks that ensure different types of workforces find immediate value.
- Master the “Health Check”: Move beyond basic metrics to analyze nuanced adoption data. You’ll proactively identify when a strategic account is underutilizing a specific feature (like Policy Bot) and share a strategy to keep our GDR to above industry benchmarks
- Uncover Expansion Opps: Partner closely with Account Management to identify expansion opportunities. Because you understand the customer’s “why,” you’ll spot the perfect moment to introduce new capabilities that solve their evolving compliance headaches.
- Close the Feedback Loop: Serve as the bridge between our customers and our Product team to ensure our most successful customers continue to be successful, sharing their insights across the organization.
