About Descope
Descope is a developer-first identity provider for customers, partners, and AI agents. Our drag-and-drop approach to identity enables developers to easily deploy authentication, MFA, SSO, and MCP/AI agent authentication without writing custom code.
Descope is trusted by over 1000 organizations in production, including GoFundMe, Databricks, GoodRx, Linktree, and You.com. The company has $88M in seed funding led by Lightspeed and Notable Capital.
We're "descoping" authentication plumbing from developers' daily lives while helping organizations turn identity into a business enabler. Come join us!
What You’ll Do:
As our Scaled Customer Success Manager, you'll help build and scale the programs, processes, and customer engagement strategies that drive adoption across our growing customer base. You'll combine customer-facing success management with operational excellence to improve customer outcomes at scale.
Own a scaled customer portfolio
Manage a shared pool of business customers rather than a fixed book of accounts, using customer health signals such as usage, engagement, support activity, and renewal timing to prioritize daily work
Work through a prioritized queue to identify accounts where adoption has stalled, usage has declined, renewal risk is increasing, or expansion opportunities exist
Let data and customer feedback—not gut feel—drive how you spend your time across a large customer portfolio
Drive customer adoption and retention through scaled engagement
Reach customers through scaled channels including email, calls, webinars, office hours, and lifecycle campaigns to help them realize value from Descope without a dedicated 1:1 engagement model
Identify customer risks and opportunities, partnering with Customer Success Engineering, Support, Product, and other teams to understand root causes and drive the right next steps
Identify customer growth opportunities and collaborate with Sales and Account Executives to support retention and expansion efforts
Enable scalable customer onboarding and operations
Support customer onboarding and implementation by creating repeatable guides, workflows, and resources that help customers successfully adopt Descope
Partner with Customer Success Engineering and internal stakeholders to coordinate customer implementations, troubleshoot operational challenges, and drive successful outcomes
Continuously improve the scaled Customer Success motion
Design and optimize customer lifecycle programs and automated workflows using customer data and internal systems to improve adoption, reduce manual work, and scale Customer Success
Use customer health, adoption, and operational data from business intelligence and customer analytics platforms (e.g., Looker and FunnelStory) to identify trends, uncover friction points, and provide actionable insights to leadership
Collaborate cross-functionally
Partner closely with Sales, Marketing, Product, Customer Success Engineering, and Operations to deliver a seamless customer experience and drive customer adoption, advocacy, and expansion
Surface recurring customer feedback and friction points to Product and Engineering teams to influence future improvements
Provide regular updates on customer health, portfolio trends, risks, and opportunities
Develop product and technical expertise
Stay fluent in Descope’s product, common use cases, and foundational identity/security concepts to confidently guide customers
Develop technical fluency to understand customer implementations and collaborate effectively with Customer Success Engineering and technical stakeholders
What We’re Looking For:
3–5 years of experience in Customer Success, Account Management, or a related customer-facing role, ideally supporting scaled, SMB, or long-tail customer segments
Experience managing a portfolio of customers through one-to-many, digital, or tech-touch engagement strategies
Hands-on experience with CRM, business intelligence, and customer health platforms (e.g., HubSpot, Looker, Customer Health Score Platforms, or similar)
Experience creating scalable customer programs such as webinars, office hours, lifecycle campaigns, playbooks, or customer education resources
Experience designing, configuring, or improving customer lifecycle programs, automation workflows, or Customer Success processes
Proven ability to drive customer adoption, retention, and growth outcomes
Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively with technical teams, business stakeholders, and customer champions
Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple customers, priorities, and competing initiatives
Comfortable operating in ambiguity and building structure where needed
A builder mindset with a passion for creating scalable Customer Success programs, improving processes, and continuously enhancing the customer experience
Solid technical aptitude with the ability to understand customer implementations and partner with engineering teams
Nice to Have:
Background in developer tools, security, infrastructure, or CIAM
Familiarity with authentication and identity concepts such as OAuth, OIDC, SAML, MFA, and SSO
Familiarity with compliance and security standards such as SOC 2, GDPR, or CCPA
Benefits
Health, sorted: Medical, dental, and vision with strong coverage and flexible HSA and FSA options
Feel good, actually: Mental health support and wellness resources when you need them
Future you will thank you: 401k plan with employer support to help you build long term
More money in your pocket: Tax advantaged benefits for healthcare and dependent care
Life happens, and we make space for it: maternity leave designed to support you when it matters most.
Stay connected: Monthly internet allowance to support your work from anywhere
Lunch is on us: Paid lunches when you’re working from the office
Keep growing: Budget and opportunities for personal development, including courses and conferences
Descope is an equal opportunity employer. We hire people based on their skills and impact, nothing else. We’re committed to a fair and transparent process across every stage of employment.
Compensation
Base salary range: $100,000 to $130,000
Final offer will depend on experience, skills, location, and overall market data. We also consider leveling, scope, and internal equity to make sure offers are fair and consistent.

Scaled Customer Success Manager
Cartesia · San Francisco, California, United States
Our mission is to architect AI that learns from and interacts with the world like humans do.
We're pioneering the model architectures that will make this possible. Our founding team met as PhDs at the Stanford AI Lab, where we invented State Space Models or SSMs, a new primitive for training efficient, large-scale foundation models. Our team combines deep expertise in model innovation and systems engineering paired with a design-minded product engineering team to build and ship cutting edge models and experiences.
We're funded by leading investors at Index Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners, along with Factory, Conviction, A Star, General Catalyst, SV Angel, Databricks and others. We're fortunate to have the support of many amazing advisors, and 90+ angels across many industries, including the world's foremost experts in AI.
About the Role
We're hiring our first Scaled Customer Success Manager to build the foundation for how thousands of customers succeed with Cartesia. Our customers range from scrappy AI startups shipping their first voice agent to rapidly growing companies building production-grade voice experiences. As our customer base grows, we can't just keep adding headcount to keep up. Success needs to scale through thoughtful systems, great customer programs, and product expertise.
You'll own the post-sales experience for a large portfolio of customers, helping them onboard successfully, adopt our platform, and grow over time. You'll partner closely with Sales, Product, Engineering, and Marketing to improve the customer journey while building the playbooks, automations, and lifecycle programs that make Customer Success a force multiplier for the company.
Your Impact
Own the customer journey from onboarding through renewal for a growing portfolio of startup and SMB customers.
Help customers realize value quickly by driving product adoption and successful onboarding.
Build repeatable onboarding, education, and lifecycle programs that scale from hundreds to thousands of customers.
Monitor customer health, identify risks early, and proactively improve retention.
Partner with Sales to identify expansion opportunities driven by customer adoption and usage.
Become a trusted product expert, helping customers adopt best practices and get the most out of the platform.
Create scalable customer assets including playbooks, documentation, webinars, office hours, and enablement content.
Partner with Product and Engineering to bring customer feedback into roadmap discussions and improve the overall product experience.
Continuously improve Customer Success operations through automation, AI, and better systems.
What You Bring
3–6 years of experience in Customer Success, Technical Customer Success, Account Management, Solutions Consulting, or a similar customer-facing role at a high-growth B2B SaaS company.
Experience managing a scaled portfolio of customers while maintaining strong customer outcomes.
Excellent organizational skills with the ability to prioritize across many customers and competing initiatives.
Strong product intuition and customer empathy— you enjoy understanding customer goals and helping them succeed.
A data-driven approach to Customer Success. You're comfortable using product usage data, customer health signals, and CRM insights to prioritize your work.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences.
High ownership and comfort operating with ambiguity. You proactively identify problems and drive them to resolution.
A builder mindset. You enjoy creating playbooks, improving processes, and designing systems that scale beyond your own portfolio.
Commercial awareness and an understanding of how adoption drives retention and expansion.
Comfortable using AI tools to automate repetitive work and spend more time solving customer problems.
Nice to Have
Experience with developer tools, APIs, AI products, infrastructure software, or technical SaaS platforms.
Experience supporting technical buyers such as engineers or product teams.
Experience building customer education programs, lifecycle campaigns, or self-service onboarding experiences.
Even if you don't meet every qualification above, we'd still encourage you to apply. We care much more about your ability to learn, build, and create exceptional customer experiences than checking every box.
Note: Cartesia participates in E-Verify and will provide the federal government with Form I-9 information to confirm employment eligibility after hire.
