The AI orchestration of your wildest imagination.

n8n is the open workflow orchestration platform built for the new era of AI. We give technical teams the freedom of code with the speed of no-code, so they can automate faster, smarter, and without limits. Backed by a fiercely inventive community and 500+ builder-approved integrations, we’re changing the way people bring systems together and scale ideas for impact.

Since our founding in 2019, we’ve grown into a diverse team of over 260 - working across Europe and the US, connected by a shared builder spirit and with our centre of gravity in Berlin. Along the way, we’ve:

• Cultivated a community of more than 650,000 active developers and builders

• Earned 190K+ GitHub stars, making us one of the world’s Top 40 most popular projects

• Backed by top investors, from Sequoia’s first German seed to our SAP's recent strategic investment - bringing us to a $5.2bn valuation

That’s the company we’ve built. Now we’d love to see what you can build.

This is a remote role working West Coast hours, and we are looking to hire people based in one of the following states: Washington, California, Colorado, Texas

Your main goal will be to build and lead a high-performing Customer Success function on the West Coast, helping n8n’s most strategic enterprise customers drive adoption, retention, and expansion while scaling the team and operating model for our next stage of growth.

To make that happen, you’ll combine hands-on customer leadership, deliberate people development, and strong operational execution:

LEAD OUR MOST STRATEGIC ENTERPRISE ACCOUNTS

• Partner with CSMs to navigate complex customer challenges and develop strategies for our largest and highest-risk enterprise accounts.

• Build trusted executive relationships with key customers and step directly into customer conversations when additional leadership is needed.

• Stay hands-on with strategic accounts while the West team scales, including personally owning customer relationships where needed.

BUILD AND DEVELOP A HIGH-PERFORMING WEST COAST TEAM

• Hire and onboard the remaining CSMs needed to build out the West Coast Customer Success team.

• Coach and develop your team through structured 1:1s, clear development plans, and deliberate skill-building.

• Create a high-accountability, supportive environment where people receive clear feedback and can continuously raise the bar.

DRIVE OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE

• Establish and run a consistent operating cadence across forecasting, account health, and structured risk reviews.

• Build repeatable Customer Success motions across onboarding, QBRs, adoption, retention, and expansion.

• Use customer and team insights to identify risks early, raise issues proactively, and continuously improve how the team operates.

SHAPE THE CUSTOMER JOURNEY WITH CROSS-FUNCTIONAL PARTNERS

• Partner closely with Sales, Product, Support, TAMs, Renewals, and GTM leaders to deliver a strong end-to-end customer experience.

• Collaborate with Customer Success leaders across US East, EMEA, and Scaled CS to evolve shared playbooks and ways of working.

• Contribute to global CS initiatives and help build scalable methodologies as n8n’s Customer Success organization continues to grow.

• Tech industry experience and relevant Enterprise subject-matter expertise: You’ve worked in an enterprise IT or technology environment and understand the needs and expectations of technical buyers and customers.

• Operational discipline: You’re comfortable running forecasts, account-health cadences, and structured risk reviews to keep a complex book of business on track.

• Automation and AI familiarity: You’re familiar with n8n or the broader automation and AI tooling ecosystem.

Why join us?

At n8n, you’ll have the opportunity to shape an important new leadership layer in our US Customer Success organization and build the West Coast team around some of our largest and most technically sophisticated enterprise customers.
