Hey there,

Looking to start 2021 off with a bang? Us too.

We're hiring a leadership role to own our client experience. Maybe it’s you?

But first… a little about us 👇

We're an early stage growth team with an ecommerce-centric business model. We sell growth packages to budding digital businesses. Our services range from backlinks & search engine optimization to done-for-you virality across Reddit.

In a sea of shady agencies and freelancers that don't deliver, we stand out as a team that aligns ourselves tightly with the startup journey to help drive real results at all stages.

Clients love us because we're accessible, we focus on results, and our customer success team is always around to help. Not to mention the services are one-of-a-kind.

We’ve grown quickly over the past year, and now we need to kick off a brand new way of communicating with our clients. And that’s where you come in.

As our Head Of Customer Success, you’ll own the client experience as a whole, including customer support, account management and sales. And chances are you’ll have a lot to say about the platform and how our customers experience our website too.

So… let's dive into the role & some of its responsibilities.

  • Hire and manage team members working within the Customer Success umbrella.
  • Jump and manage onboarding and client calls as needed to support your team.
