Senior Customer Success Manager

Overview

We were the first to shift FinOps left, and we see a big opportunity to make the $600B/year spent on cloud proactively managed, instead of enterprise teams reacting to surprise cost spikes. Reactive is too late, we already tried that approach with our first startup.

Join us as our first CSM 🚀

As our first Customer Success Manager, you'll work across our pre and post-sales customer success efforts. You’ll work directly with our co-founder, Ali, who leads product and customer success, as well as Drew who’s our Founding Solutions Engineer. They’re both hands-on and love to dive deep. They engage directly with users, prospects, and customers—not just building relationships, but guiding them to get maximum value from Infracost.

The ideal candidate will:

1. Own it: You'll have the opportunity to shape the function, and your DIY mentality will be hugely impactful. Be scrappy and enthusiastic, be relentless in helping customers get to success.
2. Have bias for action: We move fast. You should be excited to take action, adapt, and learn quickly. Self-drive is critical, and we're here to help you succeed.
3. Get excited by change: We're revolutionizing an industry and are still in the early stages. Expect rapid changes as we evolve. Your role will grow with us, adapting and innovating along the way. If you thrive on change, you'll love this journey!

What we value

1. Ustomer, not customer: It is all about seeing us and the customer as one. We like to be a part of the user’s team, and help them however we can. If the user is not successful, then we will not be either so we try to walk in their shoes. It's more than work - we build relationships and community with users and customers.
2. Open is our core: Put yourself out there. Show your learning. Transparency builds confidence. Encourage sharing the good and the bad. The best decisions are made when everyone has access to all the data. Be straightforward and kind, feedback is about your work not your person.
3. Let's JEDI: Let’s Just Effing Do It! Own it and move fast. A good plan fiercely executed now is better than a perfect plan later. We ask for help and unblock each other. The main thing, is to keep the main thing, the main thing.
