Role summary
Poka is seeking a Customer Success Manager with a background in manufacturing to manage a portfolio of industrial clients. You will guide customers through their lifecycle, driving adoption and demonstrating ROI by helping them apply Poka's connected worker platform to their Lean, CI, and TPM initiatives. Responsibilities include building relationships with site personnel, running business reviews, tracking operational KPIs, identifying expansion opportunities, and collaborating with internal teams. The role requires comfort with operational data and AI tools, strong organizational skills, and English proficiency. Travel up to 20% is expected. While SaaS experience is not required, a passion for technology and helping people improve their jobs is essential.
At Poka, we're changing how the world's industrial teams work — capturing the knowledge of their best people and putting it in every operator's hands.
Our connected worker platform is purpose-built for manufacturing and the wider industrial world, with industrial AI inside the shift, not on top of it. The result: frontline performance that becomes compounding knowledge and measurable impact — every shift, every site, every region.
We're proud to support global leaders like Nestlé, Bosch, Mars, and Danone across 3,000+ sites in 70+ countries. And as a fast-growing part of the IFS family, you'll join a team whose daily work directly shapes the platform behind how modern manufacturing gets done.

Role overview
As a Customer Success Manager, you'll look after a portfolio of manufacturing customers and help them get real, measurable value from Poka.

What you bring
No SaaS experience? That's fine. If you understand how a plant runs and you enjoy helping people get better at their jobs, we'd love to hear from you, even if you don't tick every box.
Why Poka
You'll join a team that knows manufacturing from the inside, with Senior CSMs to learn from and a clear path toward Senior and Enterprise CSM roles as you grow. Your work shows up on the floor: in faster onboarding, fewer repeat problems and frontline teams that keep what they know.
