People Analytics CS Lead US

Crunchr is the people analytics platform for forward-thinking HR teams. We believe people are the key to a company's value, so we start with our own. We're a lean team working from Amsterdam (headquarters), London, and Boston: genuinely curious, open-minded, and down to earth. We share what we know, stay open to better ideas, and let data, not ego, guide our decisions. For more information about us, you can visit the Crunchr careers page. Before you apply, please note that candidates based in the Greater Boston area are strongly preferred and that this role does not offer visa sponsorship (applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States without employer sponsorship). We only accept direct applications to the role. As Customer Success Lead US, you own our US customer relationships and lead our US Customer Success team. Together with the team, you help our customers to get the most out of Crunchr, drive user adoption, and act as their sparring partner. You also take direct ownership of a portfolio of strategic US accounts. You build trusted relationships with HR leadership and are the person they rely on to turn their questions into insights, whether that's defining the right metric for a vague HR question or helping a CHRO tell a credible workforce story to the board. You set priorities, coach people on analytics and HR domain knowledge, and make sure our US customers get consistent, high-quality delivery. You don't need to write code, but you are data-savvy: you understand how HR data is structured, where it goes wrong, and which analyses answer which business question.
