Job Requirements:

• You’ve worked as a customer success or account manager in a SaaS environment before.
• You love helping people win! It genuinely energizes you to work with customers to improve their business, even if it means our product isn’t the right answer.
• You are comfortable switching gears between in-the-weeds product questions to pricing negotiations and feel comfortable happy wearing several hats when it comes to sales, support, and account manager. You’ll be the point person on any one of them, mobilizing your team mates for support.
• You have a history of digging into challenges and opportunities first-hand to understand what’s going on, and then get jazzed about documenting what you’ve learned so(elements of it) can be automated and scaled.
• You can easily lose track of time geeking out reviewing data, working in Marketing Automation(HubSpot) and Sales Automation(Salesforce) tools. Mastering this stuff can be challenging, but you love it.
• You have experience building relationships and tracking key activities in Salesforce.
• You are an excellent communicator who can write and speak with empathy. Clear, simple and friendly communication is super important when representing our brand and working in a remote culture like ours.
