About Assembled

Assembled helps companies scale great customer support. As consumers, we’ve all been there. You need help, you’re stuck on hold or going in circles with an AI, and your problem still isn’t solved. Behind great support is a complex operational problem: thousands of people and AI agents working across teams, time zones, and products as new problems emerge. Assembled gives support leaders the tools to manage that complexity, from AI agents that resolve customer issues to software that forecasts demand, builds schedules, and makes intraday adjustments. More than 400 companies, including DoorDash, Salesforce, Stripe, and Sephora, trust Assembled. We've raised $71M from NEA, Emergence Capital, Stripe, and Basis Set Ventures and have offices in San Francisco, New York, and London.

The Role

You’ll be in on the ground floor of a company that’s building software that uniquely solves a universal and acute problem within all service organizations. We’re proud of the momentum we’ve achieved with early partners that include many of the most innovative services teams like Etsy, Samsara, Brooks, Carta, and Notion. The Customer Success Manager is tasked with working with our growing customer base and working closely with cross-functional partners to deliver clear value, retain and renew customers while unlocking growth and expansion opportunities. In working with our customer accounts, you’ll manage multiple executive-level stakeholders to consult on best practices and drive business outcomes. You’ll help these customers get maximum value out of Assembled by understanding and achieving their priorities. You will have a big hand in everything we do from refining our post‑sales customer journey to creating an account expansion strategy and serving as the Voice of Customer internally to prioritize customer feedback on our roadmap. You will manage customer relationships from post‑implementation through renewal, creating advocates and Assembled champions along the way. You are focused on ensuring that customers achieve full ROI and grow our partnership. You will be responsible for regular Business Reviews and end‑user trainings for customers across the globe. You'll use your learnings from talking to customers to help us improve our product, develop go‑to‑market playbooks, and improve our operational processes as we scale. This is a high‑priority team within Assembled with exposure to cross‑functional leadership and a large level of responsibility that will help accelerate your career.

• Project‑manage customer initiatives with internal & external stakeholders, collaborating cross‑functionally (often with product, solutions, sales, etc) to drive results


• Proactively monitor and manage the health of the customers in your portfolio by identifying areas of risk and creating success plans for your book of business

About You

• Relationship building & managing up: You enjoy developing relationships and can collaborate effectively with a wide range of constituents, adjusting your messaging accordingly. At Assembled, we’d expect you to regularly interact with C-level execs, support agents, and engineers alike.


• You don’t give up: You have the grit, determination and tenacity needed to push through roadblocks within highly unstructured environments. You are comfortable operating independently.


• You have a track record for getting things done: You know how to juggle competing priorities and drive towards outcomes.


• You can think strategically while being in the weeds: You can identify key trends and insights from customer conversations and the broader market to connect the dots on what we should do on go‑to‑market and product.


• You have a growth mindset: You're not afraid to try things you've not done before and failing. You thrive on feedback and are a self‑starter.


• You are a great team member: You are collaborative, humble, and helpful. You are available to help your teammates when needed and can balance your priorities with the overall team's.


• You get on the plane: You are willing and able to travel to meet with customers in person for onsite training, business reviews, and executive engagement.
