Ever find yourself thinking, “There’s gotta be a better way to do this”? If you’re the CSM who’s constantly rebuilding broken processes in your head, secretly obsessed with structure and scale, and lowkey bored of the same playbooks, this episode is your permission slip to explore CS Ops.

In this episode, I’m chatting with Justin, who went from traditional CSM to building CS Ops teams at IBM and transforming them at VMware. We break down what CS Ops actually is, why it’s way more strategic than people realize, why companies are hunting for strategic operators like you, and how your curiosity and love for structure might just be your secret weapon. If you’ve ever thought, “I want to level up but I don’t want to manage a team,” hit play! This might be the career move you didn’t know you were looking for.
