Enterprise Success Manager, NL (EMEA)

Job description

ABOUT MISTRAL Mistral provides full-stack AI solutions: from frontier models to developer tools, applications, and compute. We partner with enterprises tackling the hardest problems across high-stakes industries like finance, manufacturing, defense, healthcare, and the public sector, co-creating customized AI systems that they can run on their terms. We are a dynamic, collaborative team passionate about AI and its potential to transform society. Our diverse workforce thrives in competitive environments and is committed to driving innovation. Our teams are distributed between Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East. We are creative, low-ego and team-spirited. THE ROLE As an Enterprise Success Manager at Mistral, you own what happens to our most strategic enterprise accounts after the build: you make deployed AI stick in real workflows, keep production ARR healthy, defend renewals, and source the expansion signals Sales closes. Mistral's Solutions teams create high-value AI use cases with our customers. Your job is to make those investments successful beyond delivery — adopting what has been built, operating it with confidence, measuring its business impact, and scaling value across the organization. You will work with customer sponsors, business teams, IT and security stakeholders, and across Mistral with Solutions, Product, Engineering and Support. This is not a high-volume, ticket-queue customer success role. Portfolios are small and deep. It calls for a strategic account mindset, the technical judgment to navigate complex deployment environments, and the energy to build the customer success function as Mistral grows. You will join on one of two tracks (and can move between them): - Adoption track — embedded in flagship transformations while Solutions is still delivering. You own the adoption and change-management motion around the build: user waves, enablement, champions, training programs, and the measurement that proves value is landing. - Operational track — you take accounts through a structured handover once Solutions completes delivery, and own the run phase end-to-end: operational health, value realization, renewals, and expansion signals. In both tracks you operate in close partnership with Solutions: they deliver and hand over; you own post-handover; they re-engage on expansion signals. Occasionally, account teams will also pull you into late-stage pre-sales — authoring the customer training and scale-up plan that gives a buyer confidence in the rollout, a motion already credited in a major European win. WHAT YOU WILL DO OWN THE CUSTOMER SUCCESS AND VALUE PLAN - Build a clear view of each account's objectives, stakeholders, deployed use cases, commitments and risks. Translate it into a shared success plan with owners, milestones and measurable outcomes. - Establish a practical operating cadence with customer sponsors, business owners, IT and delivery teams. Lead success reviews that make progress, risks, decisions and next steps clear. - Define a baseline and track the outcomes that matter for each use case: adoption and usage against entitled seats, customer satisfaction, operational health and business impact. Turn the evidence into a clear value narrative. MAKE DEPLOYMENT REALITIES PART OF THE SUCCESS PLAN - Understand how each customer's deployment model — on-premises, VPC or serverless — affects the products and use cases they can access, operate and scale. Validate the specifics with the technical teams rather than assuming feature parity or identical operating models. - Identify the practical implications of deployment choices: security and data requirements, access and integrations, release and upgrade cadence, available features, capacity, observability and support processes. Explain the trade-offs clearly to customer and Mistral stakeholders. - Translate those constraints into an actionable adoption plan: align enablement and release communications with the version the customer actually runs, account for security approvals and upgrade windows, and agree how to measure usage when telemetry is limited. - Spot risks early, qualify their impact on adoption, renewal or value, and coordinate the right Solutions, Product, Engineering or Support owners to resolve them. Set clear expectations without making unvalidated technical or roadmap commitments. DRIVE ADOPTION, AUTONOMY AND SUSTAINED VALUE - Help customer teams move from a delivered use case to regular, effective use. Identify the users, workflows and change-management needs that determine whether it sticks. - Coordinate onboarding, training, product updates and hands-on enablement with the right Mistral and customer teams. Develop customer champions and train-the-trainer motions so adoption scales beyond direct Mistral involvement. - Prepare the transition from delivery to run: clarify operational ownership, support and escalation paths, and the resources users need to succeed indepen
