Are you passionate about innovative software and hardware technologies and helping customers apply them to their business or academic research goals? Do you want to be part of a fast-growing, highly customer-centric, collaborative, and enthusiastic team?
iMotions is a Biometric Research Software Company that allows human behavior researchers to integrate a variety of neuroscience-based channels like Eye Tracking, Facial Expressions, EEG, GSR, etc. We are currently expanding our global footprint and are looking for a Customer Success Manager (CSM) based in Boston, Massachusetts, USA to spearhead our efforts across the North America region.

The Role
Reporting directly to iMotions North America – VP Sales based in Boston, this role will balance technical expertise and a strong commercial mindset, ensuring our clients are successful while taking ownership of the renewal pipeline and expansion opportunities.
A key component of this role is the ability to pivot between Academic and Commercial environments. You will be equally comfortable discussing experimental rigor with University Professors as you are discussing ROI and licensing agreements with Corporate Innovation Labs.

- Academic: Assist researchers in setting up robust, peer-review-ready experimental protocols and data collection workflows.
- Commercial: Help corporate clients (UX, Marketing, Pharma, Automotive) apply biometric data to solve business challenges.
- Regional Sales Enablement: Act as the technical and consultative arm for the North America-based Sales team.
- Account Growth: Foster ongoing relationships with established accounts to identify upsell and expansion opportunities, ensuring the iMotions platform remains central to their research.
- Feedback Loop: Coordinate across Global Support and Product Management to ensure the specific needs of both academic and commercial users are represented in our global roadmap.

- Domain Expertise: Hands-on experience with biometric sensors (Eye tracking, EEG, GSR, etc.) and a solid understanding of research study design.
- iMotions Experience: Prior experience with iMotions is preferred.
- Commercial & Account Management: Experience managing a portfolio of customer accounts, including contract renewals, subscription licensing, and identifying growth opportunities.

- Communication & Versatility: Exceptional English communication skills with the ability to build credibility and adapt your approach across both Academic and Commercial customers. Comfortable discussing experimental design and research methodologies with PhD researchers while also engaging business stakeholders on ROI, procurement, licensing, and project outcomes.
- Adaptability: A proactive, self-starter mentality capable of working independently while staying synchronized with the local and global team.
- Education: Bachelor’s (4+ years’ experience) or Master’s (2+ years’ experience) in Psychology, Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering, or related fields.
