Senior Customer Success Manager - Remittance

About the role

As Lean scales into a multi-product, verticalized GTM organisation, we’re hiring a Senior Customer Success Manager (CSM) to anchor and scale our Remittance vertical alongside the Head of GTM - Remittance.

This role owns the post-sale lifecycle, expansion strategy, and operational success of Lean’s largest and most complex remittance customers across the UAE and KSA, including global remitters, payout platforms, stablecoin-enabled corridors, and high-volume money movement operators.

You will work hand-in-hand with the Head of GTM - Remittance as the senior CS counterpart: translating GTM strategy into execution, ensuring customers activate, consume, expand, and renew at scale. This is a commercial CSM role with direct ownership of retention, expansion, and long-term account health in one of Lean’s highest-consumption verticals.

The moment

Lean has tripled in size over the past twelve months. We’re on track to triple again next year.

What started as the region’s pioneering Open Finance platform is now becoming something bigger: a multi-product infrastructure company powering payments, data, and lending across MENA. We’re expanding into new markets, opening offices, acquiring businesses, and building capabilities that didn’t exist here before.

We’ve processed billions of dollars in transactions. We’re trusted by 300+ clients - from Binance and Careem to Etisalat - and backed by General Catalyst, Sequoia, and Shorooq. Our $67.5M Series B was just the beginning.
