Customer Success Lead

About the Role

We’re looking for our first Customer Success Lead to help our users get the most out of the world’s first superhuman Excel agent: Shortcut.

In just a few months Shortcut has grown to thousands of paying users, from individual analysts to large enterprise teams, all using AI to transform how they work in spreadsheets.
