Job Summary

  • You’ll work closely with customers during onboarding and pilot phases — integrating their data, customizing configurations, and iterating in real time — all while identifying opportunities to improve our tooling, deployment playbooks, and product defaults to streamline future implementations.
  • This has been working great (we have a 90%+ conversion rate from qualified pilot → paying customer and typically pay for ourselves multiple times over through ROI in the pilot alone), but this takes time and hands-on, customer-focused work.
  • It’s not often that you can get in on the ground floor of a well-funded startup that’s scaling very fast. That means that instead of following a playbook, you’ll be writing it.
