About Bland AI
At Bland, we’re building the most human AI phone agents in the world.
We’re a Series C startup backed by Emergence Capital, Y Combinator, and the founders of PayPal and Twilio, and we’ve raised $100M to reimagine the future of customer communication. Today, we’re a 60 person team powering voice automation for companies like Better.com, helping them deliver friendly, helpful, and human-like conversations at massive scale.
And now we’re hiring our next game-changing teammate: a Customer Success Manager (CSM) who lives at the intersection of customer success, and solutions.
Why this role exists
We need someone who will take control of post-sales, enforce clarity, and drive customers to value fast. Someone who doesn’t wait for direction, they build the plan, run the room, unblock deployments, collapse timelines, and turn customer confusion into clean, repeatable execution. Someone who can stabilize accounts, surface real risks, tighten the feedback loop, and aggressively identify expansion opportunities.
That’s the founding Customer Success Manager: the person who owns outcomes, commands the customer relationship, and turns our product into an undeniable business impact at speed.
What you'll do
Drive Customer Outcomes - You’ll own the post-sales journey end-to-end, ensuring every customer launches quickly, hits quantifiable KPIs, and sees unmistakable ROI from our agents. That means diagnosing blockers before they become problems, pushing customers toward high-value use cases, and turning every deployment into a measurable win for both their business and ours.
Cross-Functional Problem Solving - Partner with forward deployed engineers to troubleshoot issues, accelerate resolutions, and ensure customers stay successful in production.
Proactive Technical Guidance - Educate customers on best practices, new features, and optimization strategies, helping them get more value from Bland with every interaction.
Customer Growth & Expansion - Work closely with customers to uncover new use cases, map expansion opportunities, and translate insights into actionable growth plans.
Executive & Technical Communication - Engage confidently with stakeholders at every level, simplifying complex AI behavior into clear recommendations that drive adoption and outcomes.
High-Ownership, High-Velocity Mindset - Operate with positivity, pace, and accountability in a fast-moving startup environment where speed, precision, and customer obsession matter.
Driver of Customer Outcomes - Help customers achieve measurable business results with the most friendly, helpful, and human-like AI phone agents in the world.
Qualifications
5+ Years in Technical Customer-Facing Roles - Experience as a TAM, CSM, Deployment Strategist or similar role owning post-sales success and enterprise customer outcomes.
API & Integration Exposure - Interpreting logs, querying data with SQL and understanding how systems integrate in production.
Escalation & Incident Management - Skilled in resolving complex issues, guiding senior stakeholders, and driving clarity during high-pressure situations.
Strong Communication Skills - Able to simplify technical concepts for executives and dive deep with practitioners.
High EQ & Customer Advocacy - Builds trust quickly, navigates competing priorities, and proactively guides customers towards best practices through structured touchpoints such as MBR/QBRs.
Cross-Functional Collaboration - Proven success partnering with Sales, and Engineering, to drive adoption and growth.
Thrives in Fast-Paced Environments - High-ownership operator who excels in rapid, high-impact cultures.

Why You’ll Love This Role
You get to build real AI systems that talk, reason, and help humans at scale and you’re the one bringing that magic into production for customers across entire industries.
You’ll be part of a small, elite team at the frontier of voice AI, with massive ownership and the chance to define what “best-in-class technical account management” means in the age of LLMs.
And if we do this right? You will have a measurable, outsized impact on Bland’s growth curve.

Customer Success Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a customer success in California?
Customer success roles in California require no state-issued license or certification. Most employers look for a bachelor's degree in business, communications, or a technical field, combined with experience in account management, sales, or support. Candidates who add a platform certification such as Gainsight PX or Salesforce Administrator stand out in California's competitive SaaS market. Many professionals transition directly from inside sales, technical support, or implementation roles at California software companies.
Which companies hire customer successs in California?
Companies currently hiring customer successs in California include Intuit, Samsara, and ivo, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. California's high concentration of publicly traded SaaS and cloud companies means customer success hiring tends to be consistent year-round, especially in the Bay Area and Los Angeles corridors.
Which California cities have the most customer success jobs?
San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego have the most customer success openings in California. San Francisco leads because the Bay Area houses the global headquarters of many of the world's largest SaaS companies, while Los Angeles reflects a fast-growing enterprise tech and media-tech sector, and San Diego draws from its strong biotech, cybersecurity, and defense software industries.
Are there remote customer success jobs in California?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 72% of customer success openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how central digital communication tools are to the role itself. The most remote-friendly positions are in mid-market and enterprise segments, where customer interactions happen over video and email rather than in person.
How can I get hired as a customer success in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a customer support or technical support role at a California SaaS company, which many employers treat as a direct pipeline into customer success. Companies like Salesforce, Zendesk, and ServiceNow run structured associate programs and internal mobility tracks designed for support professionals without prior success experience. Building a Gainsight or Salesforce Administrator certification before applying gives a concrete credential that California hiring managers recognize as evidence of readiness.
Where can I find and apply to customer success jobs in California?
