Customer Success Manager
Charma (formerly WorkPatterns) is the modern manager’s toolkit. We’re guiding workplace relationships with a framework for better 1:1s, AI-assisted feedback, and simplified goal setting. We help all managers become great managers by improving team performance, job satisfaction, and morale.
Our product is already making an impact by helping teams adapt to new hybrid work environments. We’re doubling revenue year over year and have over 400 paying customers, including teams at Amazon, Apple, Panasonic, and many more.
We are a passionate, no-ego team of experienced entrepreneurs, technical talent, and product minds. We’ve focused from our founding in 2018 on developing our own hybrid work system, well before it was “cool.” We meet in person for quarterly offsites in great places like San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego and have plans to expand to exciting destinations like Mexico City, Costa Rica, and others. The rest of the time, we work remotely, keeping meetings to a minimum so people can focus on deep work and set their schedules around when and where they work best.
We’re also fortunate to have the backing of top investors, including Founders Fund, Javelin Venture Partners, Zoom, GTMFund, and Shorewind Capital.

This is a rare opportunity to be the first Customer Success Manager at a high-growth, seed-funded startup with a proven team and backing from some world’s top investors, including Founders Fund and Javelin Venture Partners.
As our first customer success manager, you'll partner closely with… well, with basically everyone: Sales, Product & Design, Engineering, and our Marketing teams. Your focus is to engage our key accounts while educating and supporting our end users.
You'll also have the opportunity to help build and optimize our overall operations across the customer relationship, help create compelling sales copy, partner with marketing on customer content, influence our product roadmap based on customer feedback, and help continue to build our team culture. That last one should not be overlooked.
