Growth Customer Success Manager (Specialty Contractors) at Clearstory

United States

The Role The Growth Customer Success Manager owns the post-sale experience for Clearstory's growing specialty contractor customers. You will manage a large portfolio of accounts through a lightweight, scalable engagement model — combining a CSM-led onboarding experience with automated touchpoints, in-app guidance, health monitoring, and AI-enhanced outreach. A requirement for this role is experience as a PM or PE at a commercial contractor!! This is not a traditional high-touch CSM role. Success here requires comfort operating at scale, a strong bias for AI & automation, and the ability to identify when a human touchpoint is truly needed versus when a well-crafted automated sequence or AI-generated insight can do the job better.

Just as TurboTax did for tax documents and Expensify did for receipts and expense reports, Clearstory is doing the same for change order communication and log management by building first-of-its-kind, category defining software that is revolutionizing the commercial construction industry. The construction industry is being transformed fast by technology, but the way companies communicate costs hasn’t evolved in decades and still heavily relies on carbon copy paper, spreadsheets and email to track billions of dollars. These arcane manual processes can take days or weeks and include hours of manual office tasks such as scanning, manually transcribing, and tedious data-entry into spreadsheets. At Clearstory we are changing that and creating a new category “change order communication,” by intelligently digitizing this age-old process. This leads to an increase in profits, more successful contractor to customer relationships, more transparency into a project’s true cost, and less wasted paper!
