⭐️ What We’re Looking for
This is an exciting opportunity for an entrepreneurial and enthusiastic CSM to be the first on the ground to co-create the role and influence revenue-generating strategies. This role will initially report directly to our co-founder, Percy, for the time being. This will initially be a hybrid role between account management, customer success and new business, with the potential to specialise and narrow your focus as the team grows.
🔎 Why We’re Hiring
Until now, a PLG approach combined with some sales assist motions from CS has helped us to acquire, onboard and expand new customer accounts. We now want to move things to the next level and this is where you come in.
