Sales & Business Development, Customer Service
Paris, France
Posted on Jun 18, 2026
01 Mission
- Drive a best-in-class product experience and fast time-to-value, so every account deepens its usage each quarter.
- Own renewals, expansion and net revenue retention as value-led outcomes, so no enterprise renewal is ever a surprise.
- Be a hands-on creative and technical partner, held to the same craft bar as the Creative Technologist: you can train a custom model (a LoRA) live alongside a customer's art lead.
- Inherit and systematize what already works, scaling the founder-led relationship model to many more accounts with playbooks, dashboards and a team.
- Build the customer-success operating system from scratch at a Series A standard, and close the feedback loop into product with a weekly digest.
02 Scope of ownership
Owns
- The post-sale relationship for enterprise and strategic mid-market accounts
- Account health and the early-warning system, built with Revenue Operations
- Renewals and custom-plan handoffs, with Sales and Revenue Operations
- The Knowledge Architect and the Creative Technologist (both direct reports)
Does not own
- Technical support and QA (owned by the Support team)
- Building the CRM and billing infrastructure (Revenue Operations)
- New logos and commercial close (Sales)
- The marketing narrative and campaigns (Marketing)
03 What we look for
- A creative or technical B2B background: game tooling, enterprise creative software or developer tools.
- Hands-on product fluency in a prior role, and experience building a customer-success function from scratch.
- Deeply AI-native: you use creative AI tools daily (Scenario, Midjourney, Runway and the like) and ship small feedback or churn-signal tools live in the interview.
- Billing literacy, references from customers rather than managers, fluent English, and Europe-based.
04 Disqualifiers
- A traditional SaaS success manager built around check-in cadences and generic review decks.
- An account manager with relationships but no technical depth.
- A long success career with no real product fluency.
- Cannot name specific product details of the last tool they worked on.
