They raised a landmark, oversized Series A round off the strength of the product alone - with almost no formal go-to-market motion behind it until now.
The business is scaling quickly, expanding into new revenue lines (in-platform payments and an AI clinical documentation product), and opening a UK market alongside its Australian base.
This is a build-from-zero opportunity: there is currently no dedicated Customer Success function.
The existing post-sale team has never owned retention, expansion, or account management - that gap is entirely this role's to build.
The Role You'll own the end-to-end post-sale customer journey for the first time in the company's history: Rebuild and lead the existing 8-person onboarding/support team (plus a growing offshore team), reducing time-to-value from today's 2 weeks-3 months Digitise the onboarding experience - a customer-facing self-serve portal is underway to replace a largely manual, ticket-based process Own retention, cross-sell and upsell across the company's growth products, for a customer base that's majority month-to-month Partner closely with Product to influence roadmap and self-serve onboarding, especially for the high-churn small-customer segment Partner with Marketing/Growth on lifecycle and adoption campaigns Build the data and usage-metric foundation the business has never had,
