About this role
We’re hiring a smart generalist to become an expert on our product and lead both sales demos and customer implementations. You’ll guide customers through their journey with us, from technical sales support to hands-on onboarding, project management, and customer success. This is a unique opportunity to learn a complex b2b product in great depth, build long-term customer relationships, contribute to sales processes, work closely with our engineers, and join a team as it grows from $Xm to $XXm in revenue. You will report directly to our co-founder/CEO.

Why are we hiring this role?
We grew our customer count 18x YoY. We’re closing and onboarding 5-8 new customers per week. We simply can’t manage this pace going forward with our current headcount.
By hiring a dedicated person in this role, we will expand our capacity to run more sales demos and onboard more customers in a shorter period. This will enable us to sign more customers faster and release a constraint holding us back from hitting our aggressive growth goals this year.

Proactively identify and escalate implementation risks; work with cofounders to solve them
Identify feedback, requests, and weak areas of our product; share with our team to drive our product roadmap

Process Improvement - build tooling, templates, and automation to scale onboarding across hundreds of customers:
Understand the variations in our current processes and key gaps that hinder onboarding
Create a standardized and scalable process that works for hundreds of customers
