Job Description

We are seeking a hands-on, process & results-driven Customer Success Manager to step into a critical role within a fast-paced, scrappy startup environment. While the core schedule aligns with standard 9–5 EST hours, this role requires a high level of ownership and flexibility—stepping in beyond traditional hours when needed to support team members or key customers.

This individual will oversee a team of six representatives and will be directly accountable for improving key performance metrics across retention, churn, and expansion.

The ideal candidate must be comfortable taking a deep, analytical approach to the existing customer success function—evaluating current workflows, identifying gaps, and either refining or fully overhauling processes where necessary. This includes making tough personnel decisions, such as managing out underperforming team members and recruiting stronger talent to elevate overall team performance.

Success in this role will come from implementing structure, accountability, and scalable, repeatable processes across the team. We are looking for someone who can bring operational rigor while maintaining the agility required in a startup environment—building systems that not only solve immediate challenges but also support long-term growth.
