About the Role
Join a fast-growing, Y Combinator–backed AI startup in Munich as their first Customer Success Manager. This is a high-impact, foundational role at a seed-stage B2B SaaS company that automates quoting and order processing for distributors and manufacturers using AI — helping sales teams eliminate manual work and close more deals.
You'll own the full post-sales customer journey and work closely with the Chief Product Officer, sales, and engineering teams to drive retention, expansion, and product adoption. This role will directly shape how the company grows with its customers.
No visa sponsorship is available — candidates must be eligible to work in Germany without sponsorship.

-
Collaborate closely with product, sales, and engineering to ensure customer needs shape development priorities.

Required:
-
1+ years of experience in customer success, account management, or client relationship management in SaaS, B2B, or consulting.

Excellent verbal and written communication skills with confidence engaging C-level stakeholders.

Proactive, empathetic, and people-oriented — motivated to build something meaningful and grow with an early-stage company.
