Job Description

Krea is building next-generation AI creative tools for artists, designers, and studios. Our mission is to make AI intuitive, controllable, and genuinely useful for creative work. We believe AI is a new creative medium - one that spans text, images, video, sound, and even 3D. We’re looking for a Founding Customer Success Manager to help our customers get real value from Krea, from first onboarding to deep, long-term adoption. You’ll work closely with creative teams, guide them through workflows, and be the connective tissue between customers, product, and sales.

  • Help customers integrate Krea into their creative workflows and daily work
  • Drive product adoption across our core customer profiles
  • Communicate new feature and product updates (we ship weekly)
  • Track usage and customer signals to help customers get more value
  • Identify expansion opportunities and support renewals and upsells
  • Share customer feedback with the product and marketing teams and help shape what we build

Requirements

  • Experience in Customer Success or Account Management
  • A creative background (e.g.: account manager at a creative agency, or a startup working with designers, artists, or studios)
  • Strong understanding of creative workflows
  • Product-focused mindset, with experience in onboarding and implementation
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills - you’re great at building and maintaining relationships
  • Proactive, ownership-driven attitude and comfort working in an early-stage environment

What we offer

  • Openness to sponsoring international candidates (STEM OPT, OPT, H-1B, O-1, E-3)
  • The chance to work closely with a world-class team shaping the future of AI creative tools
  • High impact and ownership as a founding member of the CS function
  • Competitive compensation (75th percentile of market) with meaningful equity

  • 6+ years of experience in customer success, account management, or a related field — with a demonstrated track record managing large enterprise accounts (10,000+ employees) and a $6M+ book of business with accountability for retention and growth outcomes
  • Demonstrated ability to build and navigate relationships across complex organizations, including VP and C-suite stakeholders
  • Proficiency with CS platforms, CRM tools, and health scoring methodologies to drive data-informed account management
  • Prospecting and outreach acumen — able to research accounts, map key stakeholders, and build pipeline from within your book using tools, data, and creative outreach strategies
  • Experience working with technical buyers — IT, engineering, security, or data science teams — and the ability to translate technical risk and product capability into clear business impact
  • Comfortable using AI-assisted tools in day-to-day work -- research, documentation, outreach drafts, account prep. Not a power user requirement, but an open-minded practitioner
  • Exceptional verbal and written communication skills across all levels of an organization, including executive audiences
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
  • Willingness to travel up to 25% for customer onsite visits, executive business reviews, and key account engagements.
Job Responsibility
Job Responsibility
  • Own a portfolio of enterprise accounts ($6M+ USD book of business). Build deep relationships across complex organizations — from end users and technical buyers to C-suite and VP-level executives — well beyond the initial point of contact
  • Arrive at every customer interaction with a prepared point of view. Draw on health scores, product usage data, and engagement signals to drive conversations forward and deliver clear value at each touchpoint. No filler meetings
  • Maintain rigorous account documentation — success plans, stakeholder maps, risk flags, expansion signals, monthly account pulses, and agreed next steps — that reflects the true state of each account and sets the standard for the broader team
  • Collaborate with Sales, Product, and Engineering to support customer goals, mitigate risk, and advocate internally for what customers actually need — not just what's easy to deliver
  • Partner as the CS anchor within a geo-aligned pod (AE, BDR, SE, CSM) — owning the customer relationship continuity that makes renewal and expansion conversations possible. When an AE opens a new door, you've already built the trust that keeps it open
  • Experience managing enterprise accounts in DACH — with cultural fluency and the ability to build senior relationships in-region. German language skills are required
  • Proactively research and identify new business units, personas, and decision-makers within your accounts. Craft targeted outreach to expand your stakeholder map and surface expansion opportunities — operating with the same rigor as a business development function when the situation calls for it
  • Contribute to playbook development, CS engagement templates, and team best practices. Senior CSMs are expected to leave the function stronger than they found it
  • Leverage AI tools and workflows to research accounts, synthesize usage signals, and prepare for customer interactions -- using available technology to work faster and show up smarter
  • Mentor and coach less experienced CSMs through deal reviews, account strategy sessions, and informal guidance — translating personal experience into repeatable, teachable approaches
