Customer Success Manager (Ocean)

Ocean is a consumer membership that makes online shopping effortless. For just $4.95/month, members get free shipping, free returns, and free package replacement, all from one unified dashboard. Our mission is to make it easier for consumers to support the amazing independent brands they desperately want to, all without having to compromise on the convenience they've come to expect from larger retailers.

Spun out of Yotpo, we're an early-stage team building the membership layer for modern direct-to-consumer ecommerce. We've raised a $4.5m seed round to date, led by Bessemer Venture Partners (investor in Shopify, Anthropic, LinkedIn, and many more), and we're scaling our brand network and member base quickly. You can learn more about us at https://shopocean.co.

This isn't a CSM role in the traditional SaaS sense. Brands don't pay Ocean anything, so our incentives are directly aligned: the more a given brand’s customers sign up to Ocean, the more value a brand gets from Ocean, and the better Ocean does. Your job is to make that flywheel spin faster for every brand you own.

You'll get new brands live on Ocean, show them exactly how effective it can be for their business, and then work hand-in-hand with them to get the most out of it, driving more consumer signups in the process. You'll be the person brands trust to make Ocean work for them, and the person internally who understands what brands need to succeed.

This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role for a self-starter who's comfortable with ambiguity and rapid change, and who wants the direct, visible impact of joining a rapidly-growing company at an early stage.

• →Close the loop internally. Bring brand feedback back to the team and help shape the product and process as Ocean scales.

• Experience in customer success, account management, or brand partnerships, ideally in D2C, ecommerce, or SaaS.
• A track record of driving adoption and outcomes for partners or customers with a high degree of independence.
• Strong communicator who can build trust with brand partners and translate data into a compelling story.
