  • Guide customers through ATS and BC-Agent activation
  • Monitor adoption and prevent churn before it happens
  • Support inbound demo requests and discovery calls
  • Maintain clean HubSpot data and pipeline hygiene
  • Coordinate with Product/Engineering on issues and feedback

You’re helping customers succeed — and helping revenue grow.

Revenue Support

  • Adoption increases month over month
  • Renewals feel proactive
  • Response times are strong
  • HubSpot stays clean and actionable


What We’re Looking For

  • 1–3 years in Customer Success, Recruiting Ops, Account Support, or HR Tech
  • Familiar with ATS platforms or recruiting workflows a plus
  • Experience using HubSpot a plus
  • Strong communication skills
  • Comfortable in a fast-moving startup
  • Able to work onsite in Evanston

Bonus if you’ve worked in SaaS or AI tools.


Growth Path

This is a launchpad role.

We promote based on performance, not tenure.
