Founding CX Lead at Grw AI

About this role
Role overview
About the company
Grw AI
We're a San Francisco-based Kiwi startup, backed by leading San Francisco investors like NextView Ventures, Precursor Ventures and Alumni Ventures. We have customers all over the world, from high-growth startups to large US public companies, and we're growing fast with record product engagement. Our founders have been writing prompts since before ChatGPT dropped, and bring a Cambridge ML background and 14+ years of GTM leadership.
We have built Taylor - an AI teammate that builds and runs the systems for high-performing sales teams. Running a high-performing sales team is one of the hardest operational problems in business, and when the systems around the team can't keep up, the whole company feels it. Taylor steps into a sales team's workflows and runs the work that good teams need but rarely get done well: pre-meeting prep, call reviews, pipeline hygiene, post-call follow-ups, coaching, and the operational threads that hold a sales org together.
What you'll do
What you will do
- Design and implement the entire customer lifecycle, focusing on programmatic engagement and high-growth SMB activation.
- Build the analytics layer using SQL and product tools to track feature adoption and identify accounts at risk.
- Directly influence the product by synthesizing customer signals and fixing simple technical issues using advanced AI software agents.
Who you are
Who this is a fit for
- Proven track record in CX or CS at a B2B SaaS startup, specifically within a programmatic or PLG-assisted motion.
- High technical fluency with an interest in investigating bugs and using AI-native tools like Cursor or Copilot to improve workflows.
- A proactive, high-agency builder who prefers designing scalable systems over managing named accounts or one-to-one manual support.
Why this role
Why this role is remarkable
- Significant founding-team equity (up to 1.0%) at a pre-Series A startup where you are employee #8-10.
- Backed by elite investors including NextView, Precursor, and Switch Ventures, plus industry-leading CROs like Jeff Perry.
- Pure builder mode with zero "QBR rituals"; you will create the company's first scalable CX systems from scratch for a product with deep market love.
