About GetWhys
GetWhys is a VC-backed SaaS company building AI-powered customer research and messaging tools for product marketers. Companies like Intel, Verizon, Docusign, and Commvault use GetWhys to understand their buyers and craft better messaging, whether in our web app, in Slack, or directly inside AI tools like Claude. We're a small, fast-growing team with large, happy, expanding customers.
The Role
You'll own a book of customer accounts end to end: onboarding, adoption, and renewal. Accounts range from fast-moving mid-market teams to large enterprises, so you'll calibrate how deep you go with each. You'll be the person each customer trusts, and the one who spots where GetWhys can do more for them.
This isn't a traditional CS role. Our customers are sharp marketers and researchers doing complex work, and we’re regularly shipping new features for them. You'll get hands-on with how customers integrate GetWhys into their work, and work closely with our product team to shape what we build. While you don’t need a market research or marketing background, you do need the curiosity to go deep and the credibility to hold your own with PMMs.
You’ll be a critical part of helping us build the CS function. Expect to be scrappy, roll up your sleeves, and have real input into the playbooks, processes, and metrics we run on.
What You'll Own
Renewals
Own the renewal motion for your book, from early health checks through signature
Find and flag opportunities for expansion to sales and the CS lead: new teams, new users, new use cases, and higher tiers
Multithread beyond your champion and build relationships with marketing leadership
Help launch business reviews (QBRs/EBRs) that show customers the value they're getting
Partner with Sales on upsells and account continuity
Onboarding & Adoption
Run onboarding and enablement using our playbooks, and improve them as you go
Drive time-to-value and adoption across our web app, Slack, and AI integrations (MCP)
Own high usage across your book: track activity, diagnose why usage drops, and build reactivation strategies for quiet accounts
Support integration setup between GetWhys and customer tools
Cross-Functional
Partner with Sales on smooth handoffs, joining pilots and pre-sales where a CS perspective helps
Bring the voice of the customer to Product: feedback, friction, and feature requests
Share wins and patterns with Marketing, including case studies and references
What Success Looks Like
150%+ net dollar retention across your book
80%+ of your accounts actively using GetWhys
Proactive account planning
Deeper adoption over time: more active users per account, and more customers using GetWhys across web, Slack, and their AI tools
What We're Looking For
Required Experience
3-6 years in account management, sales (AE), or customer success with direct ownership of customer relationships, ideally in B2B (SaaS a big plus)
A track record of strong customer retention: keeping accounts healthy, renewing, and growing usage over time
Experience with mid-market and enterprise customers, including navigating multiple stakeholders
Working knowledge of how B2B marketing teams operate, or the curiosity to learn fast
Nice to Have
Experience selling to or supporting product marketing, marketing, or research teams
Previous consulting / professional services experience
Market research or product marketing background
Early-stage / 0-to-1 experience building process where none existed
Skills & Qualities
Natural relationship builder: you bring energy to calls and customers want to talk to you
Growth-minded: you see where an account can go next and know how to build the case for it with customers
Curious and hands-on: you learn the product deeply and enjoy getting into the weeds
Highly organized, with the ability to manage complex accounts with many stakeholders, workflows, and moving parts
Self-starter who thrives in ambiguity
Customer-obsessed and data-informed
Benefits
Healthcare, Dental, and Vision insurance (90% of your deductible, 75% of your dependents')
401(k) with 3% company match
18 company holidays, with unlimited PTO (suggested minimum of 10 business days/year)
Regular in-person gatherings
Ground-floor opportunity to help build a critical function at a fast-growing startup
