Olelo AI | Founding Customer Success Manager, Onboarding

Note: We are recruiting on behalf of our valued client. This opportunity is for a position with their organization, not with People Culture Talent. We're excited to help connect talented professionals with this exceptional team!

Olelo is transforming how automotive repair shops interact with customers through AI-powered voice agents. We've grown more than 20x ARR in 6 months by solving a real problem: shops are drowning in phone calls and losing customers due to poor communication. Our voice agents handle customer interactions, improve conversion, and free up shop owners to focus on fixing cars.

We're not limited by demand, we're winning competitive bake-offs, building a powerful referral network, and corporate chains are interested in deploying across all their locations. The bottleneck is scaling our operations, and that's where you come in.

You'll be our first Customer Success Manager, owning the onboarding experience that currently bottlenecks our growth. This isn't typical SaaS customer success, you'll be building relationships with blue-collar business owners who run hands-on operations, speaking their language, and creating the playbook that scales us from hundreds to thousands of customers.

Your success directly unlocks revenue. Break the onboarding bottleneck, and you break our growth ceiling.
