Customer Project Manager - Manufacturing Automation
Share this job
Who we are:
Formic is on a mission to reshape American manufacturing by making automation accessible to every factory. As labor constraints rise, costs increase, and global competition intensifies, automation is no longer optional for manufacturers that want to stay competitive.
We deliver automation through a Robotics-as-a-Service model that combines industrial robotics, proprietary software, and full-service support into a single, integrated solution. By removing the traditional barriers of cost, complexity, and risk, we enable manufacturers to deploy automation quickly and realize measurable gains in throughput, safety, and operational efficiency without large upfront capital investment.
Backed by leading investors including Lux Capital, Initialized Capital, Blackhorn Ventures, and Mitsubishi HC Capital North America, Formic is scaling rapidly and building the foundation for a new era of high-performance, Made in America production.
About the Go-To-Market Team
The Go-To-Market Team is responsible for ensuring customers realize measurable value from the automation we deploy. From pre-deployment coordination through onboarding and long-term engagement, the team drives adoption, strengthens relationships, and ensures customers achieve meaningful operational outcomes.
Customer Operations serves as the connective tissue between customers and internal teams, ensuring expectations are clear, communication is proactive, and execution is coordinated. The team also captures customer feedback and insights to continuously improve the product, delivery experience, and long-term customer outcomes.
About the role:
As a Customer Operations Project Manager, you will own the customer relationship from pre-deployment through long-term engagement, ensuring a seamless experience and sustained value realization. You will serve as the central point of contact for customer coordination, orchestrating internal teams, documentation, and communication to ensure onboarding and ongoing engagement are proactive, clear, and consistent.
Success in this role requires strong operational discipline, the ability to anticipate risk, and a customer-advocacy mindset that surfaces feedback internally, improves the customer experience, and identifies opportunities to expand customer impact over time.
In this role you will:
- Own the customer relationship from pre-deployment through long-term engagement
- Serve as the primary point of contact for customer communication and non-technical coordination
- Drive successful onboarding by ensuring timelines, documentation, and internal handoffs are executed effectively
- Partner cross-functionally with Sales, Fleet Operations, and Engineering to align customer expectations and delivery execution
- Monitor customer health, engagement, and risk signals and take proactive action when issues arise
- Manage customer communications during key milestones, changes, and escalations to maintain trust and clarity
- Identify opportunities to expand customer impact by understanding operational goals and usage patterns
- Partner with Sales to support expansion opportunities through strong relationships and customer insight
- Capture and elevate the voice of the customer to inform product, process, and experience improvements
- Maintain accurate documentation and internal visibility into customer status, risks, and next steps
What makes you a great fit:
- 3–7+ years of experience in customer success, account management, client services, or customer-facing program management
- Proven ability to manage complex customer relationships and drive outcomes through cross-functional coordination
- Strong operational discipline, follow-through, and ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously
- Experience working with industrial, manufacturing, hardware, robotics, or operationally complex customers preferred
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills with confidence in customer-facing conversations
- Comfort navigating ambiguity and evolving processes in a fast-growth environment
- Strong judgment and calm execution during escalations, shifting priorities, and time-sensitive customer needs
- Ability to identify expansion opportunities through strong relationships, customer insight, and operational outcomes
- Proficiency with CRM and customer workflow tools such as Salesforce, ticketing systems, or project tracking platforms

Compensation Philosophy
Formic’s pay and equity packages are thoughtfully benchmarked against peer companies at a similar growth stage. Equity represents a meaningful part of our mutual investment: when Formic succeeds, so do you.
Final offers are customized based on experience, geographic location, market considerations, and a candidate’s preferred balance of cash and equity. Our goal is to attract and reward top talent who will have significant impact, and we are open to thoughtful discussions to align on the right structure.
What we look for:
We’re building this company from the ground up, and every person we hire has an outsized impact on our culture, performance, and trajectory. While each team member brings unique strengths and perspectives, we look for people who align with our Operating Principles and embody them in action. If this sounds like you, Formic may be the right place for you!
- Fearless Optimism: You make bold bets and default optimistic. You believe in the mission, aren’t paralyzed by risk, and fear inaction more than failure. You see ambiguity as opportunity and bring energy to building what doesn’t yet exist.
- Create the Magic: You absorb complexity so customers don’t have to. Whether your customer is external or internal, you focus on delivering experiences that are clear, fast, value-added, and outcome-driven. You don’t say “not my job.” You make things work.
- Today, Not Tomorrow: You have a bias to action. You close the loop. You take extreme ownership. You understand that speed compounds, and you don’t confuse activity with results.
- Seek Truth: You think from first principles. You value data over ego and strong opinions loosely held. You’re willing to challenge assumptions, including your own, in pursuit of the best answer.
- Made of Rubber: You are resolute and adaptable. When things break or priorities shift, you rebound stronger. You treat setbacks as learning moments and move forward with grit.
- One Formic: You operate without silos. You practice radical helpfulness, document clearly, and make clean handoffs. You assume positive intent and prioritize team success over individual credit.
Equal Opportunity Employment:
Formic is an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion or religious creed, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, marital status, family or parental status, disability, military or veteran status, or any other basis protected by law.
