A quick note about us At HeyTaco, we help thousands of teams around the world build stronger cultures through gratitude and recognition. With a taco in our name, we believe work should be a little more human — and a lot more fun. We’re a small, customer-funded software company, which means our customers are at the center of how we make decisions. We listen to them, learn from them, solve problems for them, and use what we learn to make HeyTaco better. We’re looking for someone to own the customer experience at HeyTaco — from the first time someone considers using HeyTaco through becoming a happy, long-term customer. If you love talking to people, solving problems, figuring things out, and working on feel-good software that genuinely makes people's work lives better, read on. About the role We are looking for a Customer Experience Lead to own the customer journey at HeyTaco. This isn't a traditional Customer Success role where you'll inherit a portfolio of accounts and spend your days running scheduled check-ins. We're a small team, so you'll have the opportunity to work across the entire customer lifecycle. On any given day, you might help an admin solve a problem, give a demo to a prospective customer, follow up with someone whose trial is ending, notice that an existing customer isn't getting as much value from HeyTaco as they could, talk to a longtime customer about what they'd love to see us build next, or share a pattern you've noticed with our product team. You'll own the experience from: Demo → Trial → Conversion → Onboarding → Support → Success → Retention & Expansion Your job is ultimately pretty simple: help people learn about HeyTaco, get value from it, and love being a customer. Because we're a small company, we won't hand you a script for every situation. We're looking for someone who is curious, proactive, and comfortable figuring out what needs to happen next. Who you are You are a self-directed, proactive person who genuinely likes people and likes solving problems for them. You're curious. If a customer asks an unusual question, you want to understand why. If an account suddenly stops using HeyTaco, you notice and want to find out what happened. If you hear the same feedback five times, you don't just answer the fifth customer — you tell the team there might be something worth fixing (or you fix it yourself). You care more about creating a great outcome than staying inside the boundaries of your job description. You're equally comfortable jumping on a Zoom call with a prospective customer, digging into usage data, writing a thoughtful customer email, troubleshooting an issue, and sharing an idea with the product team. You like working at a small company where you can wear lots of hats, have real ownership, and see the impact of your work.  Most importantly, you don't wait around to be told what to do. You notice opportunities and problems and take ownership of them. Responsibilities Examples of things you'll be working on include: • Serve as the primary point of contact for HeyTaco customers and provide thoughtful, fast, and genuinely helpful customer support • Help new customers get started with HeyTaco and make sure they're getting value from the product • Proactively identify customers who could benefit from additional help, education, or outreach • Monitor customer health and usage to identify adoption opportunities and potential churn risks • Build relationships with customers and understand what makes HeyTaco valuable to their teams • Lead product demos for prospective customers and help them understand whether HeyTaco is right for their organization • Follow up with prospective customers throughout their trial and help turn successful trials into happy customers • Answer pricing and product questions and help prospective customers through the buying process • Identify opportunities for existing customers to get more value from HeyTaco, including Deluxe upgrades and expanded adoption • Create and send customer communications about new features, product updates, and other important changes • Talk with customers to understand their needs, challenges, ideas, and feedback • Bring customer insights back to the rest of the HeyTaco team to help inform product decisions and priorities • Identify recurring customer questions or friction points and find ways to improve the experience rather than solving the same problem repeatedly • Help us improve the systems, processes, help docs and tools we use to understand and serve our customers • Look for opportunities we haven't thought of yet to make HeyTaco's customer experience even better • 2 - 5 years experience in Customer Success, Account Management, Customer Support, Customer Experience, SaaS sales, or another customer-facing role • Experience working with a SaaS or technology product • Excellent written and verbal communication skills • Comfortable leading customer and prospect conversations over video • Strong problem-solving skills and a willingness to dig into unfamiliar problems • Ability to understand customer needs and translate them into actionable insights • Comfort working with data and using customer behavior or product usage to inform decisions • Ability to work independently and make good decisions without needing constant direction • Curiosity and an eagerness to understand how both the product and the business work • Ability to manage your workload, prioritize your responsibilities, and self-direct towards your goals • A builder’s mindset: you spot problems, own them, and turn ideas into action—fast and with care. • Integrity: saying what you are going to do, and then doing it   • Great listening skills, curiosity and a constant desire to learn   • Coachability: you seek out feedback and are comfortable giving feedback  • Patience, a sense of humor, and a knack for relating to people  Bonus points if you: • Have worked at a small or early-stage SaaS company
