About Phonely
At some point in the future, every business will answer their phone with voice AI. We are building the platform that makes it possible - and we need someone who can orchestrate complex customer deployments, align teams, and keep everything moving without losing the human touch.
Phonely builds conversational voice AI agents for high volume phone workflows. Our customers use us to qualify leads, book appointments, route calls, and resolve real customer conversations in production. We are growing fast and just getting started.
About the role
We are looking for a Customer Success Manager who comes from a project management background and knows how to drive complex, multi-stakeholder work across the finish line. This is not a traditional CSM role. You will be the connective tissue between our customers, our engineering team, and our product team - translating business needs into technical plans and holding everyone accountable to outcomes.
You will own a book of accounts from onboarding through expansion. You will need to get comfortable with APIs, webhooks, and modern SaaS infrastructure - not to write production code, but to understand what is being built and advocate effectively for your customers.

Why join Phonely
We are a team of ex-athletes, founders, and builders with low egos and high standards. We take the work seriously without taking ourselves too seriously. On-site in San Francisco - meals covered, quarterly offsites to interesting places (Rocky Mountains, Costa Rica, Indonesia), and meaningful equity in a company that is growing fast. You will work directly with the founders and have real ownership over how we support and grow our customers.
