# Founding Customer Strategy

About the Role We’re looking for a founding hire to help us manage and understand our rapidly growing customer base. Since launching last year, we’ve gone from $0 to seven figures in ARR. Our customer base has grown into the hundreds, ranging from fast growing startups like Supabase and PostHog up to Fortune 500 enterprises. This isn't a traditional Customer Success role.

This is a full-time role, 5 days a week, in our San Francisco office in the Presidio. What You’ll Do In this role, you’ll work directly with the CEO and founding team on the entire lifecycle of the customer function. You’ll synthesize and contribute what you’re seeing on the front lines with our customers back to our engineering and product teams to drive roadmap and further impact. You’ll wear many hats: Customer Success: Helping our best customers be successful with Gauge Pre-Sale Support: Driving success for enterprises who are piloting Gauge Upsells: Capturing upside and expansions across our customer bas
