The Role

This is a relationship-first role built for someone who loves owning the full customer journey, from onboarding through long-term strategic partnership, with enterprise accounts.

You'll work side-by-side with a team of highly skilled Customer Success Engineers who bring deep technical expertise. Your superpower is the relationship layer: you'll translate business goals into outcomes, align internal resources, and make sure our customers feel heard, understood, and set up for success. The technical heavy lifting is covered. What we need is a trusted advisor who can manage complexity, navigate large organizations, and build lasting executive relationships.

This is an IC leadership role. There's no established playbook handed to you - you'll help write it. You'll operate with a high degree of autonomy, set the standard for how great customer success looks at this company, and directly influence how the team and function grow. If you're energized by ownership and the opportunity to shape something from the ground up, this role is for you.
