We're looking for a Customer Success Associate to own our start-up customer base and serve as the front line of customer experience at Accord. Owning a book of startups and inbound support inquiries, and supporting our Enterprise CSMs with hands-on execution across our most strategic accounts.

This role is designed as a growth path to a Customer Success Manager role. As Accord grows, your skills develop, and you master the product, you’ll take on more ownership and, along the way, standardize and build our support and success function as we scale.

If you're early in your customer-facing career, thrive on high-volume work, and want a front-row seat to how a Series A company builds its support and success function, we'd love to meet you.

“With Accord, we ended up displacing not just People.ai, but the need for one of our enablement platforms as well. The content management piece, the deal-level execution, and the ability to surface internal components like approval matrices or quoting instructions at the right time, for every deal, was a game changer.”

Bayley Fesler, Director of Revenue Operations, Xactly

"This is a sales tool that the team tells me they can't live without anymore. They would be so upset if we took it away from them, which I never hear about tools.”

Niki Phillips, VP of Enterprise Sales, Hootsuite

"Accord is poised to give us meaningful metrics and tangible insights into how our methodologies are actually being adopted and used in the field, which is a game-changer for proving the impact of our enablement programs.”
