Youll also be at the forefront of how we apply AI: building an agentic CS motion that drives real focus, efficiency, and customer impact. This means reinventing how a high-performing team operates, not just automating what already exists.

In close partnership with Sales, Product, Professional Services, and Support, youll ensure customers achieve measurable outcomes - directly driving gross and net revenue retention. This is a rare opportunity to build durable foundations for scale at a company that sits at the heart of the modern revenue stack.
