About The Role\n\n

This is a founding Customer Success Manager role at an early-stage healthtech startup serving veterinary practices in Germany. You will own the entire customer journey end to end, from onboarding through renewal, and play a direct role in shaping how the company builds lasting relationships with a traditional, largely non-bilingual customer base of German veterinarians.

What You'll Do

Own the full customer lifecycle: onboarding, ongoing support, check-ins, renewals, and expansion. Serve as the primary point of contact for veterinary practice customers, handling support tickets in German and English. Run regular proactive check-in calls with customers, conducted in German. Analyze churn signals and intervene proactively to retain at-risk accounts. Identify and execute upsell and expansion opportunities across the customer base. Collect and synthesize customer feedback to share with product and engineering teams. Build CS processes and playbooks from the ground up as the first dedicated hire in this function. \n\n
