A lot of people in their early career are afraid of failure. This is doubly true if you’ve only ever succeeded at things. You’re going to mess things up/things won’t pan out, which is fine. Not doing things BECAUSE you’re afraid of failure is not fine. - You’re technically proficient - you don’t need to be an engineer, but you get like a 5x weighting if you’re using AI tools to code up things - you might not know how they work internally, but they’re working externally for you. - You want to be a founder, and you want to learn the ins and outs of GTM: building the house is the easy part now. You can do it from your phone, in a weekend. The hard part is getting people to pay attention, and that’s what you want reps at. Here’s what you’ll be doing: - We understand our market, and we’ve developed a product that makes customers happy and successful. We want your help tapping into more of that market. - You’re going to be experimenting a lot. Outbound, inbound, growth strategies, case studies - everything is fair game.  - You’ll be working with the CEO - this is a GTM right hand to Ibby.  - You’ll be outcomes driven - we’ll give you business goals, you’ll be in charge of meeting them. Basically - you know you want to be a founder. You’re hacky, you can build stuff yourself. You just want to be paid to learn how to grow a company.

Material suppliers, distributors, and wholesalers are some of the most important stakeholders in the industry but are often the last to get paid. You’ll be joining a YC backed, fast-growing company with a second-time founder (previous exit in construction technology).  The Role You'll be part of the team that owns the customer experience after the contract is signed: getting new distributors live on Dill, training their team, keeping the relationship healthy over time, and handling day-to-day support. This is fundamentally a customer success role, but you'll need enough product fluency to train well and to translate customer feedback into something useful. This role is a mix of structured process (checklists, playbooks, logging) and genuine relationship-building with blue-collar, non-technical customers who value patience and plain talk over jargon. What You'll Do Implementation - Training: walk new customers through the platform and workflows so their team is confident using Dill. - Launch: run our onboarding checklist end-to-end for new customers, keeping projects on track and on schedule. - Product tutorials: teach customers (and their end customers, where relevant) how to use Dill's platform and tools. Customer Success - Run ongoing check-ins with customers to make sure they're getting value and using Dill correctly. - Field additional training needs as they come up, and log what you're seeing. - Surface technical issues and product feedback, log them clearly, and report patterns back to product and engineering — including your read on the underlying need behind a request, not just what the customer literally asked for. Customer Support - Be the first line of support for customers via phone and email. - Troubleshoot common issues; log and escalate technical issues and product feedback to product and engineering. What We're Looking For - Personable and patient — you enjoy talking to people, including non-technical customers. - Product-minded, in service of customer success. - Highly responsive — customers get a fast reply, whether it's a missed call, an email, or a Slack ping from your colleague. You don't let things sit. - Detail-oriented and structured — you keep good notes, follow checklists, and don't let things fall through the cracks. - Comfortable on the phone — you're not thrown off by an unscheduled call from a customer. - Preferred: Based on the East Coast (or able to work East Coast morning hours). - Required: Prior experience in customer success, implementation, or support at a B2B software company  - Nice to have: familiarity with ERP or accounting systems (Epicor, Infor, Sage, etc.); experience in construction, industrial, or wholesale distribution; prior exposure to product or QA work.

(791 words) - [Account Manager at Alex | Y Combinator](/content/companies/alex-com/jobs/94t4yhu-account-manager/index.html): About Alex Alex is the AI recruiter for hiring great people. Alex interviews, screens, and schedules every candidate – over voice, video, and text – so talent teams hire more great people, faster, without adding TA headcount. The recruiter stays in control: every shortlist is approved by a human, and every relationship and offer is owned by the customer's team. We're past 1M+ interviews, integrate with 33+ ATS platforms, and 96% of candidates prefer interviewing with Alex. We're revenue-generating, well-funded, backed by premier investors, and are focused on enterprise customers: selling to VPs of Talent Acquisition, CHROs, and CFOs at large employers who are rethinking how hiring gets done at scale. About the Role Every Alex account is run by a pair. A Forward-Deployed Engineer owns the technical deployment — the ATS integration, the workflows, the support queue. You own the relationship and the revenue. You're joining the AM team early, and your input will shape the function. This role is based in office in San Francisco. You'll carry a book of accounts: retaining and growing revenue, deepening the relationship, and finding the strategic expansion paths. - Own NRR for your book — renewals end to end, plus the upsells and expansions that grow an account past its initial booking. - Multi-thread the relationship — exec sponsors, champions, and the recruiters using Alex daily, so a single departure doesn't take the account with it. - Drive adoption — onboard users, run trainings, and watch usage closely enough to spot which teams need a nudge before it surfaces in a renewal. - Build the business case, inside and out — arm your champion to sell Alex to their own leadership, then turn those wins into case studies that help close the next deal. - Lead QBRs with business stakeholders , using usage data and our roadmap to open expansion paths. Set success criteria at kickoff so renewals confirm next steps rather than force them. - Work the pair with engineering — route technical asks to your FDE rather than absorbing them, and pass expansion signals back the other way. About You - 5+ years in Account Management, Customer Success with a revenue number, or an AE carrying a renewal and expansion book, at a SaaS company. You can name the target you carried and how you hit it. - You've owned renewals end to end — timeline, pricing, negotiation, close — and you're comfortable asking for money. - You've gotten a customer's team to change how they work, not just gotten a contract signed. - Credible with executives and with recruiters on the same day. - Technically fluent, not technically hands-on: you can hold a real conversation about an ATS integration and know when to bring in your FDE. - A data-driven storyteller: you act on usage metrics before a renewal is at risk, and turn a customer win into collateral that helps win the next one. - A commercially confident builder: you'd rather have the pricing conversation early than let it sit, and you’re excited to build playbooks for this function at you go. - Bonus: experience at a high-growth startup. This might not be the role for you if you prefer a support role without a number attached, or you don't want to work in person. We're in office in SF 5 days a week. What's in it for you? - Shape the foundation of our Account Management org, with an engineer paired with you on every account you run. - Competitive compensation, equity, and growth potential. - Medical, dental, and vision insurance, unlimited PTO, company-paid team lunches, a beautiful office in SF, and great company events. If you've gotten this far and our culture resonates with you, we want you to apply. Your first conversation will be with Alex, our AI recruiter.
