• Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Product, Marketing, and Operations to improve the customer experience and inform roadmap priorities
• Build trusted relationships with strategic customers and serve as an executive sponsor for high-value accounts
• Create feedback loops to champion the customer voice across the organization and drive continuous product and process improvements
• Identify and act on opportunities to streamline CS operations, including playbooks, automation, and tooling

• Experience influencing customer-centric product development through direct customer feedback and engagement
• Strong leadership and coaching skills with a hands-on, lead-by-example management style
• Proficiency with tools like Salesforce, HubSpot, Zendesk, and customer success platforms
• Data-driven mindset with strong analytical and decision-making abilities
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills—you work well across functions and with senior stakeholders
• A growth mindset, viewing setbacks as learning opportunities
• High adaptability—you thrive in dynamic environments and are energized by building

What we’d like to see:

• Direct experience with ABM platforms or MarTech stacks
• Experience supporting B2B marketing and sales teams
• Ability to create CS content, such as enablement guides, playbooks, and customer health frameworks
• You’re energized by startup life and ready to roll up your sleeves to build systems, processes, and a team
