Customer Success Manager at Plain - VC-backed customer support platform

Join Plain as our second Customer Success Manager and help build the support platform technical teams actually love. Backed by $24M from Index and Battery, you'll be 'customer zero'—using the product daily to support users at companies like Cursor and Raycast. If you have 2-3 years of early-stage SaaS experience and want to shape both a product and a CS function from the ground up in San Francisco, this is your chance to make a massive impact on a small, elite team.

Overview
