Customer Success Manager - DACH - Audit background

About the Role

As a Customer Success Manager - DACH at DataSnipper, you’ll bring something most CSMs simply don’t have - a deep understanding of the audit world. Your background in audit or accounting isn’t just relevant here; it’s the foundation of everything you’ll do. You’ll speak your customers’ language, understand their pressures, and know firsthand what it means to navigate complex financial workflows and tight deadlines.

In this role, you’ll move from doing the audit work to transforming how it’s done - partnering with audit and finance teams across the DACH region to help them unlock the full power of AI-driven automation. You’ll guide them through digital transformation journeys, champion smarter ways of working, and become a trusted strategic advisor at the heart of global capital markets. Several members of our CS team made this exact switch from audit - and it’s one of the reasons our customer relationships run so deep.

If you’ve ever sat on the audit side thinking “there has to be a better way” - this is your chance to be the person who delivers it.

About DataSnipper

Audit and finance are still massively manual and we are changing that. DataSnipper is a $1B, bootstrapped unicorn with 600,000+ users across 180+ countries, already embedded in the daily workflows of top audit and accounting firms.

Now, we are taking things further with our Excel Agent, bringing AI directly into where the work actually happens. Unlike generic AI tools, we do not sit on the sidelines. Our AI operates inside Excel, with access to real documents and audit evidence, meaning it does not just generate answers, it does the work, with full traceability.

We are not just applying AI, we are redefining how audit gets done. If you want to build something category-defining at scale, this is the place.
