Posted on Oct 15, 2025

Instant is a technology company on a mission to power the world's most innovative brands, driving their revenue and retention on autopilot. We are in an exciting hyper-growth phase, expanding the business by over $1M in new revenue every month, have 4 products in market, entering and hiring in new global regions, raised $30M+ by top VC’s, and we want you to be a critical part of scaling this velocity even further!

At Instant, our customers are everything. We’re looking for a Customer Success Lead to own the end-to-end journey, build world-class playbooks, lead top-tier client relationships, and grow our team as we scale across the US and globally.

What You’ll Own:

  • Own the CS playbook from onboarding to expansion, tracking impact with OKRs and KPIs, spotting issues fast, and fixing them even faster.
  • Lead and scale a high-performing CSM team with tight processes, operating rhythms, and team rituals that actually move the needle, while coaching, mentoring, and inspiring your team to deliver real customer value.
  • Set and execute the Customer Success strategy by monitoring key metrics, addressing concerns proactively, and driving continuous improvement across the team and customer experience.
  • Drive measurable customer impact, ensuring top NPS/CSAT, long-term retention, product adoption, expansions, and referrals.
  • Stop churn before it starts and make sure every customer fully realizes the value of Instant’s offerings.
  • Turn feedback into action, influencing product and cross-functional teams with actionable, quantified insights.
  • Continuously improve operations by prioritizing what matters most, refining processes, and pushing the team to deliver maximum impact for both customers and the business.
  • Build a culture of success by leading by example, developing your team professionally, and fostering a high-energy, growth-focused environment.

What Success looks like:

  • Onboarding is seamless, lightning-fast, and sets customers up to succeed from day one.
  • Customers love Instant – delivering top NPS and CSAT scores, sharing glowing case studies, and referring new clients.
  • Customers don’t just stick around – they expand, renew, and become advocates.
  • Churn is tackled proactively, with issues spotted early and solved quickly.
  • The Success team consistently crushes goals, drives real impact, and continuously raises the bar.
  • Feedback drives action – it’s data-informed, actionable, and shapes the future of Instant.

What You’ll Bring:

  • Proven track record leading and scaling high-performing Customer Success teams that deliver real impact.
  • Fast-moving, resilient, and ready to tackle challenges head-on in a high-growth setting
  • A customer champion who builds lasting relationships and ensures every client’s success at scale.
  • A hands-on coach who develops your team’s skills and drives their growth as we scale across markets.
  • Experience in a high-growth startup or early-stage company, ideally in martech, SaaS, or B2B tech is a bonus!
