Title: Head of Customer Success

Location: New York, NY

Reporting Structure: COO

Company Description

Our client is on a mission to revolutionize how employers stay connected with their former colleagues. They believe relationships matter and they’re here to provide a simple, affordable, and automated solution that keeps those connections alive. They are a seed-stage company (~ $13M in venture capital from Tier 1 funds) that has assembled some of the best builders, designers, and product minds to reimagine the future of work.

They believe values aren't just a top-down process but a collective effort. Their values: integrity, balance, growth, and results, guide us in decision-making and shape our behavior. They speak their truth, keep their promises, and trust each other. They embrace failure, curiosity, and continuous improvement. They ask questions without fear of judgment. They value harmony within themselves, their team, and their community because they understand that it leads to better results. They look at outcomes over outputs and enjoy working hard (and having fun) together.

They’re not a 9-to-5 company. They push hard when the work demands it and give each other space when it doesn’t. Their culture is grounded in trust and accountability. Their co-founders are seasoned entrepreneurs who know building a company is a marathon, not a sprint. They care deeply about what they’re building and the people building it.

Quick facts:

• Seed stage, ~$13M raised from Tier 1 funds
• Hundreds of companies already use the AI-powered platform
• Led by a founding team that has raised venture funding multiple times.
• Advised by former CHROs
