RevenueCat removes the headaches of building and scaling in‑app subscriptions. Since graduating from YC’s S18 batch we’ve grown into the default monetization platform for mobile: we’re in >40% of newly shipped subscription apps, we process $12B+ in annual purchase volume, and we help everyone from a solo dev in Brazil to the OpenAI mobile team understand and grow their revenue.
We’re a remote‑first crew of 150+, spread across 25+ countries, and guided by values we actually practice: Customer Obsession, Always Be Shipping, Own It, and Balance. If you want your work to touch hundreds of millions of end‑users (and help the developers behind them get paid), you’ll fit right in.
The role
Our customers do not need Customer Success in the traditional sense.
They don’t need someone whose main job is to schedule QBRs, forward Slack messages, or politely ask whether everything is going okay.
They need someone who understands their app, their customers, their business model, their growth goals, their RevenueCat setup, and the levers that might help them make more money.
That is the CSM motion we are building.
RevenueCat has grown quickly, and our customer base now spans everything from tiny indie apps to some of the largest mobile businesses in the world, like Ladder, ChatGPT, and Notion. The post-sales motion that got us here will not automatically get us through the next stage. We need to get sharper about where CSMs go deep, where we scale through playbooks and education, how CSMs partner with their technical and product counterparts, and how we make sure our best customer learnings become reusable systems.
As Head of Customer Success, you will own that evolution.
You will lead and rebuild the CSM function as a high-context, commercially sharp, app-growth-oriented team. Your job is to make CSMs true growth partners to our managed customers: people who can diagnose what matters, drive the right RevenueCat adoption, bring in the right specialist when needed, and make sure there is always a clear next step.
This is not a pure process role.
At least at first, you will be close to the work. You will own a number of accounts yourself, but also join your team’s customer calls, review account plans, help untangle messy escalations, coach CSMs through difficult account situations, and personally raise the bar for what "good" looks like. Over time, you will turn that work into the operating system for Customer Success at RevenueCat: account plans, customer tiers, health signals, review cadences, handoff rules, playbooks, hiring profiles, enablement loops, and scaled programs that help us serve more customers without becoming bloated or generic.
If that sounds exciting, this role might be for you.
Why we're hiring for this role now
RevenueCat is at the point where post-sales can no longer be mostly heroic effort, individual judgment, and tribal knowledge.
Our best customers want more than support. They want perspective on pricing, paywalls, lifecycle, retention, analytics, cross-platform monetization, and the operating decisions that affect revenue.
At the same time, not every managed customer should get the same depth of CSM motion. The app market is very top-heavy. Our post-sales motion needs to reflect that. Top accounts should get deep account planning, growth diagnosis, stakeholder mapping, product adoption strategy, TAM input, and clear expansion / renewal ownership. Mid-tier accounts need a lighter but still intentional motion. Lower-touch customers need leverage: webinars, templates, office hours, lifecycle education, better docs, and product-led guidance.
We need someone who can build that system.
Someone who can make the CSM team more strategic without making it slower.
Someone who can help customers feel like RevenueCat is a growth partner, not just subscription infrastructure.
Someone who can make our CSMs better, our handoffs clearer, our advisory work more targeted, our customer education more scalable, and our account strategy more commercially useful.
What you'll be responsible for
Building the CSM operating system: Define how Customer Success works at RevenueCat as we scale: customer tiers, coverage models, account plans, health signals, review cadences, renewal / expansion touchpoints, escalation paths, and the difference between bespoke support and scalable programs.
Leading and coaching the CSM team: Manage, coach, and raise the bar for a team of CSMs. Help them become growth generalists who deeply understand customers' apps, audiences, business models, goals, constraints, RevenueCat usage, and opportunities. Identify where we need coaching, role changes, new hires, or clearer expectations.
Owning strategic account quality: Make sure our top accounts have real account strategy: clear customer goals, app context, product adoption opportunities, risks, stakeholder maps, open asks, next steps, renewal / expansion context, and technical health input from Technical Account Managers where relevant.
Making CSMs true growth partners: Help CSMs move beyond generic relationship management. CSMs should be able to diagnose likely growth bottlenecks, recommend practical RevenueCat adoption, interpret app performance, qualify when the subject matter experts from our Growth Advisory team should get involved, and keep the customer moving toward higher-impact work.
Clarifying CSM / TAM / Growth Advisory handoffs: Partner closely with TAM, Support, Sales, Product, and Growth Advisory so customers get the right help from the right person. CSMs should own customer context, account strategy, adoption, stakeholder management, and next-step clarity. TAMs should own technical correctness. Growth Advisory should go deep on specific, high-impact growth problems.
Turning repeated customer work into scale: When the same issue appears across accounts, make sure it becomes a playbook, template, customer education asset, internal enablement, webinar, support macro, sales collateral, product feedback, or docs improvement. The goal is not to consult the same problem forever. The goal is to make the company smarter every time we solve it.
Driving measurable customer and business outcomes: Define and improve the metrics that matter: product adoption, account health, customer outcomes, renewal / expansion influence, quality of account strategy, risk visibility, and the team's ability to create leverage as the customer base grows.
We're looking for someone who
Has led Customer Success in a high-quality, high-growth environment. You have led CSMs, account managers, customer growth teams, strategic success teams, or a similar customer-facing function in a B2B SaaS, developer tooling, infrastructure, mobile, or app-growth environment. You know what good looks like because you have built or operated it before.
Can be credible with serious app businesses. You do not need to be the best CRO, CRM, UA, pricing, lifecycle, or monetization expert in the company. But you do need to know what those acronyms stand for without looking it up, and need enough app-growth judgment to have useful conversations with founders, growth leaders, product leaders, and executives. You can understand their business, spot shallow advice, diagnose the right problem, and know when to bring in a specialist.
Builds systems without hiding behind process. You can turn messy work into clear account plans, handoffs, playbooks, templates, review cadences, and enablement loops. But you do not create process for its own sake. Your systems make the team faster, sharper, and more useful to customers.
Is commercially sharp. You understand renewals, expansion, product adoption, stakeholder management, risk, executive alignment, and the difference between a happy user and a healthy account. You can help CSMs connect customer value to RevenueCat value without becoming pushy or salesy.
Is strong enough technically to lead well. You do not need to debug SDK issues yourself, but you do need to understand RevenueCat's product concepts, common integration paths, and technical customer context well enough to know what is going on, what CSMs should answer, and when TAM / Support / Engineering should own the response.
Can coach high-ownership people. You set a high bar, give direct feedback, create clarity, and follow through. You know how to help smart people improve without micromanaging them. You are comfortable making hard calls when a person, process, or expectation is not working.
Builds for scale, not just for one account. You are not satisfied solving the same problem fifty times. When you see a pattern, you want to turn it into a reusable asset. When a CSM finds a great answer, you want the whole team to benefit. When a customer engagement works, you want to know whether it can become a playbook.
Thrives in a remote, async, direct culture. You write clearly, document decisions, communicate early, and do not wait for perfect information before moving. You can work across time zones, functions, and messy ownership boundaries without dropping the ball.
What you'll need to be successful
8-12+ years of experience in Customer Success, Account Management, Customer Growth, Strategic Consulting, Revenue, or a closely related customer-facing function
4+ years managing and scaling customer-facing teams
Experience owning or strongly influencing renewal, expansion, account health, adoption, or customer-growth outcomes
Strong customer-facing presence with founders, executives, product leaders, growth leaders, and technical teams
Experience building customer segmentation, coverage models, account planning, health scoring, QBR / EBR motions, renewal processes, or similar CS operating systems
Enough technical fluency to operate in a product-led, developer-facing company
Strong analytical judgment: you can use customer, product, revenue, and usage data to prioritize where the team should spend time
Excellent written communication and async operating habits
A bias toward action, high ownership, and direct follow-through
Ideally, you
Have worked with mobile apps, subscription businesses, marketplaces, gaming, consumer products, or other businesses where monetization and growth mechanics really matter
Have scaled a CS motion through a major company stage, for example from roughly $30M ARR to $100M+ ARR, or from a small strategic-account motion to a broader tiered model
Have led both high-touch strategic accounts and scaled / tech-touch customer programs
Have experience partnering with Technical Account Managers, Support, Sales, Product, Marketing, and specialist advisory teams
Have hired and developed CSMs who are more than relationship managers: people with real business judgment, product curiosity, and customer-growth instincts
Have used customer patterns to influence product roadmap, enablement, marketing, and sales strategy
What success looks like
Within the first month, you'll:
Get deep into RevenueCat's product, customers, customer segments, and current CSM motion
Meet the CSMs, TAMs, Growth Advisory, Sales, Support, Product, and Marketing partners you'll work with most closely
Review the top managed accounts and identify immediate risks, opportunities, unclear ownership, and missed adoption / expansion potential
Shadow customer calls and shared Slack channels to understand where CSMs are creating value, where they are getting pulled into low-leverage work, and where handoffs are breaking
Form an initial point of view on the CSM team's current strengths, gaps, operating model, and hiring needs
Within the first 3 months, you'll:
Roll out a clear account plan format for top accounts
Establish a monthly top-account review focused on the highest-value opportunities, biggest risks, and stuck decisions
Clarify CSM / TAM / Growth Advisory ownership so customers get faster answers and CSMs stay focused on business outcomes
Define the first version of CSM success metrics across customer outcomes, product adoption, account health, renewal / expansion influence, and quality of account strategy
Personally help move several important accounts forward through clearer diagnosis, better stakeholder mapping, stronger adoption plans, or better internal coordination
Identify the most important coaching, enablement, and hiring needs for the team
Within the first 6 months, you'll:
Have a working tiered CSM motion: deep where depth matters, lighter but intentional where it does not, and scaled where humans should not be the bottleneck
Improve the quality and consistency of top-account strategy across the managed segment
Build enablement loops so recurring customer questions and growth problems become playbooks, templates, webinars, docs, macros, customer education, or product feedback
Partner with Sales to tighten renewal / expansion ownership and make sure account strategy is commercially useful
Partner with TAM and Support to reduce unnecessary relay work and make customer routing clearer
Have a clear hiring and team development plan for the next stage of Customer Success at RevenueCat
Within the first 12 months, you'll:
Operate a CSM team that customers see as a strategic growth partner, not a reactive relationship layer
Have improved product adoption, account health, risk visibility, renewal readiness, and expansion quality across managed accounts
Have turned the best 1:1 customer work into scalable playbooks and assets used by CSMs, Sales, TAMs, Growth Advisory, and customers
Have built a high-talent, high-ownership CSM team with clear roles, clear expectations, and a much higher bar for customer strategy
Have helped define what Customer Success should mean at RevenueCat as we scale: commercially sharp, deeply customer-aware, product-fluent, growth-oriented, and built for leverage
Why this role is exciting
This is a rare chance to define Customer Success at a company where the customer problem is genuinely interesting.
RevenueCat sits at the center of how app businesses make money. We see subscription infrastructure, pricing, paywalls, retention, lifecycle, platform rules, app-store behavior, customer growth, and monetization data across a huge share of the mobile ecosystem.
That means our CSM motion can be much more than "keep customers happy."
Done well, it can help the best app companies in the world grow faster. It can help smaller teams learn from the patterns we see across the market. It can make RevenueCat's product better. It can turn customer work into public education, benchmarks, playbooks, and product feedback. And it can make Customer Success a revenue engine for customers and for RevenueCat, not a cost center.
The hard part is that none of this happens automatically.
You will need to raise the bar, clarify ownership, build systems, coach people, make tradeoffs, say no to low-leverage work, and stay close enough to customers that the team never drifts into generic CS theater.
That is the job.
