ABOUT STRELLA

Strella is reimagining market research with AI. Our platform conducts in-depth, AI-moderated interviews and transforms customer conversations into actionable insights in a fraction of the time of traditional research.

We’re building a new model for market research that combines the speed and scale of AI with the strategic expertise of world-class researchers. Our mission is to make high-quality customer understanding faster, more accessible, and more impactful for every business.

Company Highlights

- Explosive Growth: We’ve more than quadrupled our annual recurring revenue over the past year, demonstrating strong demand for a fundamentally better way to conduct research.

- Enterprise Traction: Trusted by leading brands including J.Crew, Chobani, DraftKings, and to uncover customer insights and inform critical business decisions.

- Strong Investor Backing: Raised capital from Bessemer Venture Partners to accelerate our mission of transforming the market research industry.

- Massive Market Opportunity: We’re bringing AI-native technology to a $100B+ global insights industry, replacing slow, expensive research processes with a faster, more scalable approach.

- Building the Future of Research: We’re expanding beyond software into a new model of full-service insights, combining AI-powered research with expert-led strategy. You’ll be among the earliest hires helping shape this offering.

We're scaling quickly and looking for a driven Customer Success Lead to own and grow our customer relationships as we enter our next stage of growth. This is an extremely high impact role. You will have the opportunity to build our Customer Success function from the ground up - including owning our customer retention and upsells, nurturing customer relationships, developing playbooks, and more.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Own the Customer Relationship

- Serve as the senior point of contact for Strella's key accounts, building trusted, long-term relationships with champions and executive stakeholders.

- Develop and maintain a deep understanding of each customer's research goals, use cases, and success criteria.

- Nurture accounts proactively rather than reactively — regular check-ins, business reviews, and value-recap touchpoints throughout the customer lifecycle.

Drive Renewals & Growth

- Own renewal outcomes across the book of business, forecasting risk early and building mitigation plans.

- Identify and execute on upsell and expansion opportunities, partnering with Sales where needed.

- Own retention and net revenue retention targets for your accounts.

Build the Playbook

- Develop repeatable playbooks for onboarding, adoption, QBRs, renewals, and expansion — turning what works into process the whole team can run.

- Establish the metrics and health scores that define what a "healthy" account looks like at each stage and build dashboards to track these continuously.

- Continuously refine playbooks based on what's working (and what isn't) across the book of business.

Lead the Team

- Manage and coach a team of Customer Ops Associates and CSMs, setting clear goals and providing regular feedback.

- Support their day-to-day account work, unblock escalations, and help them grow into more senior CS roles.

- Partner with leadership on team structure, capacity planning, and hiring as the customer base scales.

Partner Cross-Functionally

- Work closely with Sales to ensure a seamless handoff from close to onboarding.

- Share customer insights and product feedback with Product and Engineering to influence the roadmap.

- Partner with Marketing on customer stories, case studies, and reference programs.

WHO YOU ARE

High Impact Attributes

- People-centric: You’re energized by working with others, and enabling customers to achieve their goals

- Hungry: Strong will to win; track record of exceeding retention and growth goals.

- Builder: You should be comfortable with creating onboarding, QBR, and renewal processes from scratch, rather than waiting for structure to be handed to you.

- Humble: Self-aware, team-first, open to feedback, and authentic in how you show up.

- Smart: Excellent writing and verbal communication, curiosity, and business acumen.

- Growth Mindset: Invests in personal development and takes initiative to upskill yourself and your team.

- Commercially minded: Treats renewals and upsells as an owned outcome, and comfortable making asks directly

- Customer-first mindset: Willing to go above and beyond for the customer

Experience

- 8-10+ years in customer success, account management, or a related customer-facing role, with prior experience owning renewals and expansion revenue.

- Experience managing or mentoring direct reports, or clear readiness to step into people leadership.

- Thrives in high-pressure or fast-paced environments; early-stage startup experience a plus.

- Has worked with minimal oversight and shown strong ownership.

- Bonus: familiarity with research, insights, or B2B SaaS industries.

WHY JOIN STRELLA

- Opportunity to help define and scale the customer success function at a fast-growing startup, with a clear path to grow into a broader CS leadership role.

- Work directly with founders and GTM leaders; your impact will be visible and measurable.

- Build the playbooks and team structure from the ground up in a culture of curiosity, speed, and ownership.

- Competitive compensation with meaningful equity, benefits, and career growth potential.

If you're ambitious, curious, and ready to help build a category-defining company, we'd love to meet you!

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
