Job description

The Opportunity

We're building the AI operating system for America's 33 million small businessesand we're moving fast. We grew 10x last year, we're up 20% month-over-month, and we recently raised a $3M seed from Pear VC. With 500+ businesses already using Frontdesk and seven-figure ARR, we've proven the model works. Now we need the right customer success leader to help us scale it.

Our Vision : The SMB Super App

We started with AI receptionists that answer calls and book appointments. But we quickly realized we were building something far bigger : the first AI-native operating system for small businesses.

Every phone call, text, and booking creates a living customer record. Our AI agents learn from conversations. Then, that intelligence powers outbound campaigns that re-engage customers at exactly the right moment, driving real revenue growth. We're not a point solution. We're the complete Customer Revenue Engine.

SMBs represent half of US GDP, yet they've been ignored by companies like Salesforce and underserved by tools built for enterprise sales teams. While everyone else chases enterprise deals, we've discovered an explosive path to market where no one else is looking. Our early traction proves it : SMBs need AI solutions just as much as enterprises dothey just need them built differently.

We're here to build the super app that finally gives them what they deserve.

About the Role

We're hiring our first US-based Customer Success Manager to own our highest-value customer relationships while building the foundation for our global CS organization. This is a rare ground-floor opportunity to define customer success at an AI company scaling from startup to category leader.

You'll directly manage ~100 mid-market / strategic accounts (our $15K-$25K+ clients) while helping guide our Philippines CSM team across all customer tiers.
