- Cross-functional Collaboration: You’re comfortable partnering with teams like Implementation, Sales, Product, and Support to ensure a seamless customer experience across the lifecycle
- Problem-Solving Orientation: You don’t rely on “what worked before” — you’re thoughtful, pragmatic, and eager to find solutions that fit the evolving needs of your team and customers
- Data-Driven: You’re comfortable using data and metrics to inform decisions, identify trends, and continuously improve both team performance and customer outcomes
- Customer-First Thinking: You have a deep understanding of B2B customer needs and a track record of delivering high-quality, thoughtful customer experiences

What the job involves
- In this role, you’ll elevate the customer experience by coaching and developing a team of CSMs, while also helping them operate effectively at scale

- You’ll partner closely with other leaders across High Touch CS, Startup CS, Implementation, as well as Support and Contract Management
- As the Manager of High Touch Customer Success, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring our customers have a remarkable experience with Ashby as we continue to scale

- Lead and coach a team of CSMs who partner with customers across adoption, optimization, and ongoing success
- Uplevel team performance through 1:1 coaching, skill development, and strong operational rigor
- Drive scalable approaches to customer success, helping the team translate what’s working into repeatable best practices across a large portfolio

Our take
Reportedly, 50% of employers don’t use applicant tracking systems, largely because of blockers with implementation or insufficient buy-in from top management. Ashby's co-founder and CEO, Benji Encz, experienced first-hand how existing solutions failed to support hyper-growth hiring needs whilst working at PlanGrid, which is in part what led to the creation of the company.
Ashby is looking to redefine the ATS category - providing talent teams with analytics, workflows and automation - and intends to replace solutions from well-established vendors like Greenhouse and Lever with algorithms. The company's AI can schedule interviews and infer demographic data, which clients use for aggregate analyses of DEI hiring metrics.
The market for recruitment software could potentially reach $3.5 billion by 2030. Unsurprisingly, there is now a growing number of startups emerging to compete for a slice of it. Despite the crowded market and having only emerged from stealth in 2022, Ashby has already secured over 500 clients (including high-profile customers like Notion and Figma). The company has also attracted impressive funding, which will be used to expand its product offering beyond what is typically expected from an ATS and grow its customer success and community initiatives.
