Customer Success Manager
$140k - $190k USD
Pocus exists to supercharge GTM teams. We make every rep a 10x seller. With Pocus, organizations can have fewer, better reps to drive increased pipeline and revenue.
How? We’ve created the world’s most powerful, AI-native prospecting platform.
Pocus influences nearly half a billion in pipeline per quarter for our customers. We’re trusted by high growth companies like Asana, Monday, Canva, and Miro where Pocus powers up to 50% of their pipeline and eliminates 10+ hrs of work per rep per week.
Pocus has hundreds of always-on AI agents doing the manual, tedious work of researching & prospecting so that reps can do what they do best: sell. With Pocus AI agents working for them, rep’s days are simplified. Reps get alerts when compelling events happen, account plans are generated by AI, and agents recommend who to reach out to with the next best action. We’re fortunate to be backed by First Round, Coatue, and execs like CEO Zoom, CPO Adobe, CRO OpenAI, who are helping us usher in this future of sales.
Our CS org has one goal: We transform GTM teams into best in class operators, creating repeatable top decile revenue performance and GTM efficiency. As a founding member of the Customer Success team, you’ll be at the forefront of our mission, working directly with customers in a highly consultative way to guide them through every step of the customer journey towards GTM excellence. You’ll have the opportunity to have outsized impact on our customers’ business as a trusted partner and expert.
The Pocus team is full of humble overachievers that like to move quickly (we call it shiperate), own our work, give customers superpowers, and create magic for our team… all while having a ton of fun. Join us on this next phase of growth!

Who you are:
As a small and early stage start-up, alignment on culture and values is our #1 priority. People that are successful at Pocus, regardless of role, strongly identify with the following:
You are a humble over-achiever. You’re constantly asking for and excited about feedback that helps you learn and grow.
You don’t take yourself too seriously. You like to work hard but not without plenty of smiles and laughs along the way 🙂
You are delusionally optimistic. Big challenges and projects excite and motivate you.
You have exceptional integrity and always do the right thing, even if and especially when no one else is watching.
You are a problem solver, not a problem identifier. Your first reaction when encountering something that isn’t working is to think “What can I do to make this better?”
You strive to perfectly balance individual initiative with humility and collaboration, understanding when it is better to ask for help and when it is better to solve a problem independently.
You move with a self-imposed sense of urgency. You strive to constantly find the perfect balance between speed and quality and you understand when to make that tradeoff.
You have a high bar for quality and you honor your commitments.
You are excited about building foundations and you love learning new things as part of that. You have a bias towards documentation and writing things down.
You are excited about working in an early stage, high-growth, fast paced environment where you can have meaningful ownership and impact on the business, and understand that that is a significant commitment
