The Role

As our Founding Customer Success Manager, you own the relationship with every customer from the moment a contract is signed. You sit at the intersection of operations, analytics, and product: part implementation lead, part trusted advisor, part ROI analyst.

• Iterate rapidly based on customer feedback to improve automation accuracy and reliability.

ROI Analysis and Value Proof

• Build detailed ROI models quantifying cost savings and efficiency gains vs. the customer's prior outsourced or manual operations.
• Track and report on key metrics across each deployment: automation rates, error rates, cost per transaction, and headcount impact.
• Prepare and present business reviews that demonstrate value to economic buyers and justify contract renewals and expansions.
• Translate operational data into compelling narratives that resonate with both finance and operations stakeholders.

Customer Partnership

• Be the primary point of contact for each account, available async (Slack, email) and live (calls, working sessions).
• Translate customer feedback into actionable product input for the engineering team.
• Build playbooks, templates, and documentation to scale onboarding as we grow.

Your Background

Required

• Genuine obsession with AI and how it is reshaping the way large organizations operate.
• Excellent communicator: you distill complexity into clear, compelling narratives for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and energized by building from scratch.

Strong Candidates Will Also Have
