Auror

At Auror, we’re empowering the retail industry to tackle theft and Organised Retail Crime, a $150 Billion problem globally. It’s high volume crime that’s increasingly organised in nature and is putting people, retailers, and communities at risk every day.

Founded in New Zealand 11 years ago, we’re working with some of the best and largest retailers in the world across the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK.

Auror is connecting people and intelligence to reduce crime. We’re using technology for good. 

In partnership with our leading retail partners, we need people with the passion, determination, and innovation required to overcome one of the world's largest problems. If you’re looking to make a difference with and for the people dedicated to stopping crime, for good, then we want you on our team.

We're also embracing the potential of AI to supercharge our impact—whether that's enhancing the way we detect trends, support our customers, or improve internal workflows. As a company, we're committed to responsibly incorporating AI into how we work and what we build, and we encourage all Aurors to be curious about how AI can elevate their work, regardless of role or function.

The Role

Our Senior Customer Success Managers are experienced and strategic individual contributors who play a pivotal role in elevating customer impact and uplifting the broader Customer Success function at Auror. 

You’ll partner with external senior and executive stakeholders, ensuring the customer is seeing the value and achieving real crime reduction outcomes from using the Auror platform.

In this role, you’ll design and deliver engagement strategies for our high-impact accounts, leading customers through organisational change and aligning platform adoption to their long-term goals. You’ll influence at every level, from frontline teams to the senior executives using a combination of storytelling, data, and deep product expertise to drive measurable impact.

As a Senior CSM, you’ll not only deliver results within your own portfolio but also act as a multiplier across the team, coaching, sharing scalable frameworks, and championing operational improvements that lift capability and consistency globally. You’ll be trusted to represent CS internally and externally and guide Auror’s approach to customer engagement at scale.

Your responsibilities: 

Customer impact

  • Build and execute on engagement strategies that drive adoption and measurable outcomes.
  • Influence change management by addressing resistance and aligning stakeholders to long-term value.
  • Lead complex pilots and implementations with strong project management skills.
  • Ensure customers are fully utilising Auror’s platform features and modules.

Insights and strategy

  • Partner with our Retail Partnership Managers to strengthen relationships and support account growth.
  • Surface insights from customer data to improve outcomes and influence the product roadmap.
  • Develop strategies for both one-to-one and scalable (one-to-many) engagement.

Collaboration and community

  • Foster collaboration between retailers and law enforcement.
  • Identify and strengthen key champions at all levels, from store teams to executives.

Leadership and growth

  • Mentor and support teammates, sharing best practices across regions.
  • Champion operational improvements that lift team capability and consistency.

 

This role reports to Jess Atmore

I genuinely love what I do, and what Auror stands for - protecting people and communities by enabling retailers and law enforcement to effectively work together. With nearly a decade of experience in customer-facing roles across Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, I thrive on collaboration, creativity, and empowering others to succeed. My passion lies in championing both customers and teams, creating the conditions for them to thrive.

I believe leadership should be done with authenticity and that fostering an open and supportive environment, embracing vulnerability builds trust and drives performance.

Outside of work, balance is key. You’ll often find me spending quality time with my partner, friends and our dog, Rhubarb, getting lost in a great book (fiction or nonfiction), or out on the tennis court! I also love discovering new walking tracks and am a passionate advocate for mental health, having supported charities through volunteer work.
