Customer Success Manager

We’re looking for someone with a very good (i.e. near-native) level in English AND French. If it’s not your case, please don’t apply, as it is a hard requirement (there will be other roles that may be a fit for you in the future!).

✨ The most exciting parts

• Customer Success is changing at Figures 💪As we attract larger clients and add new products, we need to move from reactive to proactive, and have big ideas about how to do this. Getting customers up and running, delighted, and then healthy ahead of renewal is a top priority for Figures. We’re at the beginning of a new chapter, working closely with Sales to build a class-leading revenue function, and it is a great opportunity to join and have a big impact.
• Strong ownership, quick personal growth & huge (positive) impact🙌 Our company’s early stage offers lots of ownership and opportunities to learn & grow. You’ll work in a small team of 4 CSMs, collaborating closely with the product team and many other stakeholders across the business. We also strongly believe in the social impact of Figures – creating transparency & fairness around compensation and reducing market inequalities like the gender pay gap (check out this Sifted article, powered by Figures).
• Greatteammates & work environment 🙏🏽 We take our “Why so serious?” value seriously, offer a ton of flexibility, and work a 9-day-fortnight.
• Taking risks means high rewards🤑 Your equity grant will have a big potential financial upside.

🔮 About us – Fair pay, the simple way

Created in October 2020 by Virgile & Bastien, Figures is Europe’s leading compensation management platform, helping companies to make fair and efficient salary decisions.

We do that by providing them with reliable up-to-date (real-time) compensation data and the right tooling to manage their compensation process.

As of today, we are a team of 35 people, helping 1000+ companies all over Europe (with France, the UK and Germany being our core markets). We raised €6.8m in September 2022 to accelerate our expansion.
