Requirements
Youâve spent 3-5+ years in Customer Success at a B2B SaaS company, ideally one serving eCommerce brands. You understand what a drop in ROAS actually means. Youâve managed high account volumes and liked it. You think in revenue and retention, not tickets and NPS scores.
Shopify ecosystem familiarity is a strong plus. Ex-DTC operators and ex-consultants who moved into SaaS tend to do exceptionally well here.
About the company
Polar is the complete data platform for omnichannel commerce. We connect every data source a brand runs on - Shopify, Amazon, NetSuite, Meta, Google, Klaviyo - into a single Snowflake warehouse, layer a commerce semantic layer on top, then add AI so operators can ask questions, get answers, and automate workflows without writing SQL.
Our founders came from Turo and Airbnb in Silicon Valley. They built data platforms at scale and wanted to bring that level of sophistication to fast-growing commerce brands. We support 4,000+ merchants, and zero direct competition with a better solution. We serve brands like Quadlock, gorjana, Joseph Joseph, and ARMRA Colostrum., We publish our operating principles internally and we mean every word. Here are the ones that matter most if youâre thinking about joining:
Customer Obsession. Every decision starts with: does this make our usersâ lives better? If the answer isnât clear, go talk to a customer before you build anything.
Own the Number. Every metric has an owner. If itâs yours, know it cold - the trend, the why, the plan. Donât wait for someone to ask. If itâs off track, you should be the first to say so.
Raise the Pace. Always ask: what would it take to do this in half the time? Speed is our edge. We try 100 things while the competitor tries one.
Donât Fail Silently. If itâs broken, say it. If youâre stuck, raise your hand. Hiding problems is the one thing that will actually get you in trouble.
Here to Win, Not to Be Right. Quiet ego, loud standards. Donât fight to be right - fight to win together. Be ruthless on quality, never rude about it.
Optimize for Polar, Not Your Function. âNot my scopeâ doesnât exist here. If it makes us win, itâs your scope.
Weâre a remote-first team that runs daily standups, ships weekly, and holds ourselves to a standard most companies talk about but donât enforce. Weâre transitioning from founder-led intensity to systematic company intensity - which means we need people who can maintain the pace autonomously, not just when someoneâs watching., Weâre building the data & AI operating system for eCommerce - think Datadog for retail. We ingest messy Shopify, ads, and retention data, make it reliable, and turn it into decisions brands can actually trust. Weâre hiring CSMs who want real ownership.
What you will do
Youâll be the strategic layer between our product and the merchants who depend on it - working directly with CMOs, growth marketers, and operators who think in ROAS, LTV, and retention.
This isnât a support role. Youâll:
- Own a portfolio of 50-70 accounts end-to-end (onboarding * adoption * expansion * renewal)
- Run QBRs that change how brands think about their data, not just review dashboards
- Spot expansion opportunities before anyone asks and close them alongside Sales
- Turn customer problems into product improvements - your field insights shape our roadmap
- Push back on customers professionally when they need a better path, not just validation
- Onboard new merchants hands-on and make sure they actually graduate to full product fluency
We move quickly, optimize for outcomes over activity, and trust you to make the call without hand-holding.
