Lead, Customer Strategy Analytics & Applied AI

Role Description

As a Lead, Customer Strategy Analytics & Applied AI, you'll be a senior contributor who drives analytics and strategy end-to-end for the CS org. You'll work directly with the SVP of CS and the broader CS leadership team to identify the highest-impact opportunities, then build the analyses, tools, and AI-powered systems that turn them into results.

This role is 100% remote and can be based anywhere in the US or Canada.

Own Customer Analytics: Improve the analytics, engagement and AI integration strategy for Customer Success and Customer Support.

Strategize across the customer lifecycle: Work directly with the SVP of CS on our customer engagement model, org structure, and where CS should invest its hours.

Direct the pod: Set the priorities and direction for CS analytics + applied AI work.

Build AI-powered tools that drive incremental value: Ship things like churn risk scoring, CSM next-best-action systems, automated retention playbooks, and AI eval pipelines.

Accelerate impact with AI: Establish how CS analytics and the broader BizOps team uses AI to multiply output across analytics and operating workflows.

Qualifications

5–7+ years in analytics, strategy, or ops — whether that's management consulting, startup analytics, BizOps, or a hybrid path that's hard to label.

You've personally shipped data products, models, or AI-powered systems into production — not just delivered insights.

Excellent numerical skills, with additional technical background or education strongly preferred.

Claude (or equivalent agentic tooling) is a must; SQL/Python skills are a plus!

Familiarity with how CS / Support orgs actually operate.

Self-sufficient operator — can run an end-to-end workstream without scaffolding.

Player-coach instinct: you take satisfaction in helping others do their best work.

Comfortable with ambiguity; you don't need a playbook to figure out what to work on next.

Experience with SaaS, marketplaces, or high-growth startups preferred.

Restaurant industry experience is a plus!

Requirements

Get more energy from building and shipping than from analyzing and presenting.

Are excited about applied AI: building AI-powered products, and using AI to change how analytics and building gets done.

Get energized by new frontiers — defining the next version of CS strategy, not optimizing existing playbooks.

When solving problems, dive deep to understand root causes and become a subject matter expert.

Aren't afraid to pick up new tools and skills, from Claude Code to custom machine learning pipelines.

Want to build lasting systems and products, not one-off analyses.

Thrive in ambiguity and don't need a playbook to figure out what to work on next.

Benefits

The estimated base salary range for this role is $190,000 – $210,000, plus a generous pre-IPO equity package.

Comprehensive health coverage.

Remote-first workplace.

Unlimited PTO - plus extra fun perks!
