Own customer success for initial accounts: onboard, support, and capture feedback to sharpen product and positioning.
Work cross-functionally with marketing, product, and engineering to execute quickly and iterate.
Scale the role over 6 to 12 months to become the main US owner and potentially build and lead a local team.
