Who We Are
At KEV, we help school districts eliminate the school finance blind spot. Our platform gives district finance teams real-time visibility and traceability into every dollar collected at the school level - whether it's cash, cheque, or digital. From field trips to fundraisers, we help them manage every dollar with confidence. More than 27,000 schools across North America trust KEV to manage over $8 billion annually. By unifying payments, accounting, and reporting, KEV simplifies life for bookkeepers, builds trust with parents, and gives finance leaders the oversight their current systems cannot. It's how we help schools stay compliant, reduce risk, and focus on what matters most, student success.
Backed by Five Arrows, the PE arm of Rothschild & Co., KEV is investing more than ever to support K-12 in a world of tighter budgets, rising scrutiny, and fast-changing tech. We're headquartered in Toronto, with offices across North America.
If you're excited by the idea of building tech that protects schools, empowers finance teams, and improves education through better systems, KEV is the place for you.
This role is for an active vacancy.
About the Role
As a Customer Success Manager (CSM), you will be the strategic partner and trusted advisor to a portfolio of KEV customers. You’ll work directly with district leaders to understand their goals, drive adoption and measurable value, strengthen relationships, and ensure customers are positioned for long-term success.
This is more than a relationship-management role. You will own the customer experience, protect and grow recurring revenue, uncover expansion opportunities, and serve as the voice of the customer across KEV.
You’ll collaborate closely with Sales, Support, Marketing, Product, and other teams to solve problems and create an exceptional customer experience.
If you’re energized by building relationships, solving complex problems, and making a measurable impact, this is an opportunity to play a critical role in KEV’s growth.
What You'll Do
- Own customer success and retention: Manage a portfolio of district customers with thoughtful engagement and a zero-churn mindset.
- Drive revenue: Deliver against renewal and payments-growth targets while identifying and generating qualified opportunities for expansion.
- Become a trusted advisor: Build strong relationships with district leadership and key stakeholders, becoming the person customers turn to for strategic guidance and problem-solving.
- Drive value and adoption: Understand each customer’s goals and help them maximize return on investment.
