  • Develop and implement operational systems to improve CS efficiency and scalability
  • Act as the voice of the customer, collaborating closely with product and engineering
  • Analyze customer data and workflows to identify opportunities for automation and improvement
  • Travel occasionally to meet customers and build strong, long-term relationships
  • Support CRM management, pipeline tracking, and process optimization initiatives

  • Proven ability to manage customer relationships and drive retention
  • Strong operational mindset with experience building or improving processes
  • Strong communication skills with ability to explain technical concepts clearly
  • High agency and ability to work independently in fast-paced environments
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

Preferred

  • Experience in insurtech, fintech, or vertical SaaS
  • Experience working with enterprise or mid-market B2B customers
  • Familiarity with CRM systems, customer success tools, and automation workflows
  • Experience working cross-functionally with product and engineering teams
  • Strong spreadsheet/data analysis skills
  • Experience traveling for customer-facing engagements

Compensation and Benefits

  • Competitive base salary: $90,000 – $115,000
  • Equity: ~0.05% – 0.2%
  • Full benefits (health, dental, vision, 401k)
  • High ownership in a fast-growing startup environment
  • Direct exposure to founders and leadership
  • Opportunity to build and scale the CS function from scratch
  • In-office collaboration in San Francisco
