An Audacious Mission

Today, coordinating business travel is complex because of competing interests, opaque industry practices, convoluted systems, and bad software.

But we believe that travel is a force-multiplier for growth.

Travel connects teams to new and existing co-workers, partners, and customers. It enables new opportunities, produces unexpected collaboration, and shifts perspectives. That’s why we focus daily on making travel more about why you’re going and less about how you’ll get there. 

Our mission is to make in-person collaboration effortless.

The Role

We have an opportunity for a collaborative, empathetic, and experienced customer success leader to have a massive impact on the future of our business.

As the Director of Customer Success, your mission will be to build a world-class Customer Success team that works hand-in-hand with our customers to increase adoption of existing use cases, identify new opportunities to grow with our customers, mitigate churn, and manage the renewal cycle.

Your team will be accountable for knowing the pulse of each of our customers so we can anticipate their needs and deliver against them. You will need to ensure that you and your team effectively collaborates with the Implementations, Sales, Product, and Travel Support teams.

You will need to lay the foundation of what it means to be a successful CSM at Pana. That will include “get-hands-dirty-in-everything” CS work and owning key accounts for the first 6 to 12 months.

This is a truly unique opportunity for someone to embark on a career-transforming journey. As such, it is going to require a truly unique individual to do it well; we suggest you read this blog post and ensure you’re a “whole-body” YES to everything in it before applying.

Our employees enjoy full benefits, unlimited vacation time, a competitive salary, stock options, and a chance to change the face of travel.
