Our customer base include software, fintech and infrastructure companies mainly based in Europe and the US, such as Mistral.ai, Together.ai, Swan.io.
This role is based either in-office in Paris in our gorgeous new office in the 10th arrondissement, and/or remote in a timezone that is +2/-2h from CET. Any application outside these criteria will unfortunately be automatically archived.
We’re a team of 12 today and will be a team of 20 in the upcoming months, and we’re all about Customer Experience, Product, and Open Source.
Your role includes:
Deeply understand the customer, their business objectives, their workflows, and their goals to demonstrate value as effectively as possible
Utilize deep technical expertise to drive and project manage customer implementations from end to end
Deliver excellent customer experience throughout the implementation project by providing consistent, clear communication across multiple stakeholders
Distinguish between “must-have” and “nice-to-have” requirements and feedback from the customer throughout implementation
Make sense of ambiguous and/or complicated business requirements and translate them for a variety of audiences
Document the Implementation project plan for internal and external understanding. Define project milestones and meet them; clearly communicate dependencies and ownership (status updates to the various audiences, clear priorities set internally and externally)
Identify and mitigate project risks such as scope creep, stakeholder engagement, customer IT resourcing, internal backlogs; escalate appropriately to internal and/or customer executives
Build trust, understanding and influence with members of technical and operations teams who contribute to the implementation and then use our product
Leverage these “live” cases to build a repeatable playbook (e.g., learnings, frameworks, best practices) to support our growth

Comfortable holding others accountable to tasks and deadlines

Our Values
Ambition: we aim big, because otherwise, where is the fun?
Progress: we care more about the grit, the steep learning curve, the resilience and creativity muscles, than the current status or where you come from.
Humble confidence: we know our strengths and always strive for excellence, but we also know there’s so much we don’t know yet
Pay it forward: we’ve all started somewhere, people gave us a hand when we needed one, we don’t forget this, and reinforce this positive cycle
Not taking ourselves too seriously: we are ambitious, restless learners and hustlers, but at the end of the day, our health (physical and mental), and our loved ones are what matter the most.
