💻 The Role
We’re looking for a proactive Customer Success Manager (CSM) to own the post-sales relationship and guide our clients through every step of their product development and custom manufacturing journey.

Many of our clients are launching or scaling apparel/product lines with little to no manufacturing experience, while others are seasoned industry veterans. As their primary strategic guide, you will onboard new customers, demystify the custom production process, and serve as the critical bridge coordinating between the client, our design team, and factory/sourcing partners.

You’ll spot where projects are stalling (whether on the client, design, or factory side), relentlessly unblock delays, provide hands-on guidance on fabric and garment feedback, and identify key expansion opportunities as production runs complete.

🎯 What You’ll Do

• Post-Sales Journey & Onboarding: Own the end-to-end customer onboarding and post-sales experience, educating new clients on manufacturing workflows and guiding them confidently from concept to final delivery.
• Cross-Functional Orchestration: Serve as the central air-traffic controller coordinating closely between clients, design specialists, and factory/sourcing teams to keep projects moving smoothly.
• Proactive Risk & Bottleneck Detection: Monitor account progress to spot where production or approvals are stalling—on the client side, design side, or factory floor—and jump in to unblock issues before they cause delays.
• Consultative Product Support: Act as a reliable sounding board for clients during critical review phases, providing feedback on garment construction, fabrics, and technical specs when needed.
• Strategic Growth & Upselling: Identify timing and opportunities for expansion—for example, as a client nears the end of a bulk production run, partner with design to proactively pitch relevant trends, new products, and re-orders.
• Portfolio & Health Management: Manage a active portfolio of SMB and mid-market accounts, maintaining clean account notes, tracking key milestones, and monitoring production metrics in HubSpot.
• Feedback Loop: Gather real-time customer insights on their production experience and share cross-functional feedback with Sourcing, Product, and Sales to continuously improve our platform.

🧩 What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in Customer Success, Account Management, or client-facing operations (preferably in e-commerce, custom apparel, manufacturing, or tech-enabled platforms).
• High Empathy & Educational Mindset: Able to guide novice clients through complex technical/manufacturing concepts with patience and clarity, while maintaining authority with experienced buyers.
• Cross-Functional & Project Coordinator: Skilled at managing multi-party workflows (client – internal design – factory teams) and keeping everyone on schedule.
• Proactive Problem-Solver: A natural eye for detail who spots operational bottlenecks early and takes immediate ownership to resolve them.
• Up-Selling & Commercial Instincts: Comfortable identifying expansion moments and partnering with design/product teams to suggest timely, trend-relevant solutions to growing accounts.
• Technical & CRM Fluency: Strong working knowledge of HubSpot (or similar CRMs) to manage pipeline, account notes, and key activity metrics.
• Garment/Product Knowledge (Plus): Prior experience or strong interest in apparel development, fabric sourcing, or custom production is a major advantage.
• Startup Mindset: Resilient, high-energy, autonomous mid-to-senior individual contributor who operates with urgency and clear ownership.

💡THE/STUDIO’s Company Values

• Good communication skills that enhance collaboration, minimize misunderstandings, and at a frequency that is appropriate for a remote team
• Radical candor – Coachable, accepting of constructive negative feedback and willing to provide constructive negative feedback where applicable
