First things first: you want to know what you’re actually applying for. It’s impossible to capture every nuance of a role – especially at a rapidly growing company like Mews – but if we had to distill it down to a job description (which we do because this is a job description), it would be this:
The Customer Success Lead is a people manager responsible for leading and developing a team of Customer Success Managers for MM EMEA, driving customer outcomes and revenue retention/expansion/payment adoption, and ensuring excellent execution of the post‑onboarding customer journey. You will set the operating rhythm, coach for performance, manage customer escalations to resolution, and partner cross‑functionally to elevate the customer experience and commercial impact.

- Guide the team to prioritise effectively across short‑, mid‑, and long‑term goals; delegate and unblock work so targets are achieved reliably and predictably.
- Hire, onboard, and develop CSM talent; create progression pathways and performance management rituals that elevate capability and impact quarter over quarter.
- Own and resolve customer escalations; lead through complex situations and coach CSMs on negotiation, stakeholder management, and difficult conversations.
- Implement and continuously improve the CS operating system: adopt standard processes, uphold data quality in core tools, and introduce refinements that drive efficiency and scale.
- Ensure timely, insight‑rich reporting for leadership on retention, expansion, and risks; contribute to forecasting with crisp narratives and data‑driven recommendations.
- Champion the Voice of the Customer and partner with Product and cross‑functional teams to influence roadmap and service delivery for strategic accounts.

We want to get to know you, so it’s only fair we tell you a little bit about ourselves first. Mews has been transforming hospitality since 2012. What began in a single hotel in Prague now powers thousands of hotels around the world, as they pursue their mission to develop transformational solutions for brands and create remarkable experiences for guests.
Since the beginning, Mews embraced being different. Mews is not simply a property management system, but a connected hospitality cloud with products across the hotel ecosystem and more integrations than anyone else.
From global hospitality brands to independent properties, hoteliers join Mews because they recognize the power of innovation. They understand that they can benefit from hotel tech that drives efficiency, maximizes revenue, and improves guest happiness.
Powering over 5,000 customers across more than 85 countries, Mews Hospitality Cloud is designed to streamline operations for modern hoteliers, transform the guest experience and create more profitable businesses.
Ranked 24th in the FT 1000 list of the fastest-growing European companies in 2021, Mews has been recognized as the Best PMS by industry peers at the HotelTechAwards in both 2020 and 2024, consistently earning acclaim. Mews also achieved finalist status in 2021 and 2022. What's more, we take immense pride in being listed among the Best Places to Work in Hotel Tech during those same years and again this year. But our achievements don't stop there; Mews was also listed among the World's Best Hotel PMS Provider 2023 and as the World's Best Independent Hotel PMS Provider 2022 and 2023 by the World Travel Tech Awards.
That’s what we do, but what about who we are? Mews’ culture is special and difficult to capture in words, which makes writing this tricky. You'll experience the freedom to be yourself and the ability to watch your ideas come to life. You’ll have an open line of communication and an open invitation to after-work drinks, be they virtual or in-person. Sometimes the work can be challenging and there can be a lot of it, but you’ll always be able to rely on those around you.
Yes, we’re ambitious and we move fast, but we know the value of fun and taking a breather. We have slack channels for almost every interest imaginable, and an all-company meeting every Friday gives you the chance to ask any question to our leadership team.

If this sounds like you and you’re ready to join a global, innovative and exciting community, we’d love to hear from you.
One very important note: don’t hold back. Even if you don’t meet 100% of the criteria listed in this job description, we still encourage you to apply. We believe everyone should have equal access to opportunities and we’re committed to providing an inclusive experience, so please let us know if there’s anything we can do to support you during the application process. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability, or any other protected characteristic. We can’t wait to hear from you.
🤖 AI and Hiring at MewsAt Mews, we believe AI enhances our work but should not replace what humanises it and makes it individually ours. We see AI as a tool to support research, generate ideas, and drive efficiency, but creativity, critical thinking, and opinions differentiate us. As you apply, feel free to use AI to help structure your thoughts — but ensure your application and conversations with us, reflect your personal opinions, capabilities and experience. We’re building an AI-enabled workforce, and that starts with people who think independently and bring fresh ideas to the table. Because at Mews, making work more human is the ultimate goal.
