• Highly organized, proactive, and empathetic—you’re equally comfortable solving tactical issues and driving strategic conversations.

• Experience with CRM and customer success tools (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot, Gainsight) and a data-driven approach to customer health.

• Comfortable in a fast-paced, early-stage startup where processes are still being built.
