Your job will be to work closely with our CEO and COO to handle large enterprise relationships with our clients across the lending industry, help guide their AI deployment strategy, take an AI-first approach to building out the customer success function, and ensure we have a professional machine to convert pilots to annual contracts and to drive upsells across our customer base.We pride ourselves on having deep subject-matter expertise and technical understanding, and on taking a consultative approach to helping our clients succeed.

Customer relationship ownership at the enterprise level. You're credible across the table from a CFO, COO, or Head of Collections, whether at a mid-market fintech or a tier 1 bank. You walk in as a peer-level operator, not a junior handoff. Clients are glad to take your call.2. You understand what it will take to build a CS function from scratch. Health scoring, playbooks, tooling, QBR cadence - you'll be able to quickly come in and build out the right processes.3. AI-first by instinct. You default to AI to multiply output before adding headcount. You can name specific workflows you've automated and the hours you got back.4. Lending, collections, or fintech domain fluency. Or a track record of getting fluent fast in a regulated, technical buyer's world.
