About Instruqt
At Instruqt, we believe the future of enterprise growth will be built on experience, not explanation.
We power hands-on product experiences for developer-first software companies like Elastic, MongoDB, Datadog, and HashiCorp. Our platform helps marketing, sales, and education teams turn product adoption into revenue acceleration.
We are a fast-growing SaaS company (~$8M ARR in 2025, 122% NRR, 94% logo retention) building the category-defining platform for hands-on product adoption.
Location:
Remote (US, Canada) - East Coast Preferred
We are now hiring a Senior Customer Success Manager / Architect to help drive expansion, retention, and measurable ROI across our strategic customer base.
The Role
This is not a traditional "check-in and QBR" CSM role.
This is a revenue-impacting, expansion-focused, value-driven role responsible for:
  • Protecting and growing $50K-$500K+ ARR accounts
  • Driving measurable adoption across GTM teams (Marketing, Sales, Education)
  • Own the customer journey from Onboarding to Expansion
  • Proving ROI in business terms
  • Turning champions into advocates

You will manage a portfolio of developer-first software companies and serve as a strategic advisor to Marketing, Sales Engineering, and Customer Education leaders.
What You'll Own:
  1. Retention & Health
  • Maintain >95% gross retention across your book
  • Identify churn risk early (budget, adoption gaps, technical blockers)
  • Drive executive alignment and renewal strategy 120+ days in advance

2. Expansion Revenue
  • Drive land → expand motion across GTM departments
  • Identify upsell opportunities tied to:
    • Increased usage
    • New use cases (Marketing → Sales → Education)
    • Strategic initiatives
  • Partner with AEs to close expansion deals ($50K-$500K+ ARR)

3. Adoption & Time-to-Value
  • Own onboarding for strategic accounts
  • Ensure successful adoption and utilization of new product and feature releases.
  • Reduce friction in content creation and scaling

4. ROI & Executive Alignment
  • Quantify value with your customers in terms of:
    • Reduced churn
    • Increased pipeline
    • Higher win rates
    • Faster onboarding
  • Run executive QBRs tied to measurable business impact

5. Advocacy & Champions
  • Develop multi-threaded relationships
  • Cultivate referenceable customers
  • Contribute to case studies and referrals

What "Great" Looks Like:
In your first 12 months, you will:
  • Maintain 95%+ logo retention
  • Contribute meaningfully to 120%+ NRR
  • Drive at least 2-4 expansion motions across your portfolio
  • Elevate conversations from "lab usage" to "revenue impact"
  • Build trusted advisor relationships with Director+ level stakeholders

Who You Are:
Experience
  • 5+ years in Customer Success, Account Management, or Strategic Consulting
  • Experience managing $100K+ ARR SaaS accounts
  • Experience selling or supporting technical products (DevOps, Data, Security, Cloud Infra preferred)
  • Comfortable working with Sales Engineers and technical stakeholders

Skills
  • Strong business acumen, can tie product usage to revenue impact
  • Confident in executive conversations
  • Data-driven and analytical
  • Expansion-oriented mindset
  • Clear, structured communicator

Bonus
  • Experience supporting Marketing or DevRel teams
  • Familiarity with developer tools
  • Background in technical education or enablement
  • Sales or Sales Engineering experience

Why This Role Matters
Instruqt's growth depends on:
  • Expansion inside existing accounts
  • Increased product adoption across GTM teams
  • Clear ROI storytelling
  • Strong champions who bring us into new companies

Customer-centricity is central to our growth strategy. This role is critical to unlocking the next stage of expansion.
Compensation
  • Competitive base salary
  • Performance-based variable tied to retention and expansion
  • Equity participation
  • Remote-first culture
  • High-impact, high-visibility role

If you want to build category-defining customer relationships at a company shaping the future of product adoption, we'd love to talk.
