On-siteCustomer Service$140k–$165k/yrFull-time

What You’ll Be Doing

  • End-to-End Account Ownership: Manage a targeted portfolio of strategic accounts. Serve as the primary owner from initial onboarding and launch through ongoing expansion, deeply understanding each customer’s business roadmap.
  • Drive Account Growth: Establish and execute the expansion thesis for each customer relationship. Build compelling business cases in close collaboration with customers to ensure strong alignment, clear value, and shared conviction.
  • Executive Relationship Management: Act as the trusted first point of contact for anything touching money movement. Earn this strategic positioning by delivering substantive value and insight, rather than superficial networking.
  • Product Feedback Loop: Act as an opinionated advocate for customer needs by translating their feedback into sharp, actionable inputs for Product and Engineering.
  • Strategic Business Reviews: Design and deliver numbers-first, highly strategic business reviews that customers genuinely value and can confidently share with their own leadership teams.

What We Are Looking For

  • Experience: 5+ years in high impact customer success, strategic account management, or enterprise partnerships at a fast-moving, deeply technical company (ideally fintech, payments, or complex B2B SaaS).
  • Data-Driven Strategy Mindset: An analytical, systems-level thinker who relies heavily on data and financial metrics to prove value and drive customer satisfaction.
  • Executive Communication: Exceptional ability to command a room, navigate highly complex multi-stakeholder environments, and seamlessly translate deeply technical product capabilities into tangible business value.
  • High Leverage with AI: An AI-native builder who uses frontier tools daily to multiply individual output, bringing a sharp, seasoned point of view on where AI provides genuine utility versus where it simply adds noise.
  • Technical & Product Fluency: High comfort level collaborating with product and engineering leaders to systematically evaluate which customer requests warrant architectural changes.

Nice to Have
