About Spokn Spokn is a video creation software that helps companies replace boring emails with short, authentic videos to train employees and keep them up to date. Think Tik Tok-style video, built for enterprises.
We’re a fast-growing, early-stage US startup and our customers include some of the world’s most recognizable enterprises like Google, Amazon, Marriott, Siemens, Hyatt and Sodexo.
We’re building a product that’s changing how companies communicate and learn, and some of the world’s top VCs invest in our vision, including Y Combinator, NEA, and Reach Capital.
Customer Success is central to how we grow. This role is not a support function; it’s a core part of the business working directly with the founders.
How this role works Spokn is an early-stage, founder-led company with a lean team that values ownership, thoughtful execution, and attention to detail. Roles like this are rare, and we take hiring seriously.
Customer Success sits at the center of the business. In this role, you’ll work closely with:
Customers in HR, Internal Communications, and Learning & Development who are typically non-technical and highly relationship-driven An Egypt-based engineering team, translating customer needs into clear, actionable product input Spokn’s cofounder on customer strategy, prioritization, and problem-solving
Spokn’s software is purposefully intuitive and simple, so Customer Success goes far beyond explaining features or handling tickets. The work is consultative and creative. You’ll help customers figure out how to use short-form video effectively to solve real problems, from onboarding and training to leadership communication and frontline engagement. You’ll encourage customers to create more videos, and show them how to do so effectively with Spokn.
You’ll be trusted with real ownership across the customer lifecycle from onboarding to renewals, and you’ll be expected to take initiative, ask good questions, follow through on details, and proactively help customers succeed.
What you'll do Support customer onboarding from kickoff through launch, including on live video calls with customers Identify opportunities for customers to create more videos on Spokn, and persuade/support them to follow through Manage day-to-day customer health and engagement across a portfolio of accounts Introduce new features and product updates to customers and support ongoing adoption Create and maintain customer-facing resources like product explainers, customer newsletters and activation campaigns, and one-pagers Collect, organize, and translate customer feedback into clear input for product and engineering Drive project management for customer deployments, ensuring stakeholders meet timelines and commitments.
