The posting
What is this role, really? It's a unique hybrid position combining elements of:
- Customer Success Management (ensuring customers get value and stay happy)
- Growth Operations (analyzing patterns and optimizing processes)
- Business Development (connecting with YC companies)
- Relationship Management (being the friendly face of Helicone)
At an early-stage startup like ours, roles often span multiple functions that would be separate departments at larger companies. You'll wear several hats while focusing on one core mission: helping customers succeed with Helicone while driving our growth.
What You'll Do
- Serve as one of the primary point of contact for customer support needs, ensuring issues are tracked, prioritized, and resolved promptly
- Monitor and analyze customer metrics (churn, new subscriptions, usage patterns) to identify trends and opportunities
- Proactively reach out to high-usage customers to secure longer-term commitments and prevent churn
- Manage founder LinkedIn outreach by connecting with new signups, sending personalized check-in messages, and scheduling discovery calls
- Connect with current YC batch companies through targeted outreach, inviting them to use Helicone and building meaningful relationships
- Support event planning and execution when we host community gatherings
- Identify process improvements and implement better practices with a high level of independence and initiative
What We're Looking For
- 1-3 years of experience in customer-facing roles, preferably in B2B SaaS with a focus on customer success
- Technical knowledge of AI/LLM infrastructure, APIs, and developer tools
- Familiarity with the AI ecosystem, including current LLM providers, AI application development, and common integration patterns
- Ability to understand and clearly explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences
- Strong communication skills with ability to build relationships through both written and verbal interactions
