🏔️ About Sierra Studio

Sierra Studio is a product development firm dedicated to empowering founders and business leaders to build impactful products. Our team is committed to delivering high-quality solutions that drive business growth. We prioritize a culture of good vibes, open communication, and continuous learning — giving our people the resources they need to thrive.

🏢 About Our Hiring Partner

You will be embedded at a fast-growing loyalty and referrals platform built specifically for Shopify brands. Our hiring partner helps e-commerce businesses build retention through customizable loyalty programs and referral flows.

This is a pre-seed startup scaling rapidly — the kind of place where the playbooks don't exist yet and you help write them. The team is small, customer-obsessed, and moves fast. If you thrive in ambiguity and like building things from scratch, this is the environment for you.

🖼️ About The Role

As Customer Success Manager, you will own a high-volume book of 100+ Shopify merchants — managing everything from day-to-day support to retention strategy and product adoption. You will be the connective tissue between customers and internal teams, and a key voice in shaping how CS processes evolve. This is a high-ownership role at an early stage. You will not inherit a polished system — you will help build one.

🔨 What You'll Do

• Manage a book of 100+ Shopify merchants, each with their own Slack channel — spanning strategy, design, and daily support

• Build genuine relationships with customers and become their go-to for retention strategy and feature adoption

• Lead proactive outreach, QBRs, and daily triage to keep merchants engaged and successful

• Surface bugs, log feedback, and help prioritize what matters most to the product and engineering teams

• Work closely with Product and Engineering to shape onboarding, training, and lifecycle processes

🔎 What We're Looking For

• 3+ years in Customer Success, Account Management, or a similar client-facing SaaS role

• Comfortable with ambiguity, context switching, and high-volume account management

• Strong communicator — equally effective talking strategy with a CMO or debugging an integration with a developer

• Technical curiosity: comfortable enough to tweak HTML/CSS, read documentation, or troubleshoot Shopify-related issues

• Experience with Shopify, e-commerce, or loyalty/retention tools

• Based on the West Coast or able to cover PST hours

Bonus skills:

• Exposure to vibe coding, HTML/CSS, or API troubleshooting

• Early-stage startup experience — especially helping create process from scratch

🤝 Who We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who doesn't need a playbook to get started. You manage complexity without breaking a sweat, you communicate proactively, and you take ownership of outcomes — not just tasks. You're as comfortable talking churn risk with a founder as you are jumping into a Slack thread to unblock a merchant.
