Founding Operations & Customer Success Lead
About the Role
This is a rare opportunity to join a fast-growing B2B SaaS startup in the AI content space as their first dedicated Operations & Customer Success hire. You'll work directly alongside the founders, owning the full post-sales journey for a portfolio of 40+ enterprise and mid-market clients across 14+ industries. The company's product sits at the cutting edge of AI Visibility / Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO/GEO) — helping brands surface in AI-generated answers on platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.
This is a founding-team-level role with real equity upside and the scope to shape how the company scales its operations and client relationships from the ground up.

Own onboarding for new B2B clients, ensuring a smooth, high-quality experience from day one
Manage and grow relationships across a portfolio of 40+ clients, acting as their primary point of contact

Build and improve repeatable processes for customer success, onboarding, and operational workflows
Work hand-in-hand with the founders on product feedback loops, process improvements, and strategic client initiatives
Track key customer health metrics and proactively address churn risks
Contribute to internal tooling and documentation to support the team as it scales

Compensation & Benefits

Equity: 0.25–0.75% VSOP (virtual stock options), depending on profile and experience
Direct exposure to founders and meaningful strategic input from day one
