About the role
About Kobalt Labs
Kobalt is the AI-native compliance operating system for financial institutions (FIs). Compliance is critical for FIs to get right, but most of their work still happens manually, in legacy technology or Excel.
Banks, credit unions, and fintechs across the country use Kobalt to run third party due diligence, screen marketing collateral, and stay current with the ever-changing regulatory landscape. Since our Series A, we've grown revenue more than 5x and work with some of the most notable names in financial services, including Chime, Upstart, and Affirm.
The Role
Customer Success at Kobalt owns customer outcomes end-to-end, from implementation and adoption through expansion, working closely with customer leadership and our engineering team.
Customer Success is also a major driver of our growth: our best customers expand with us and bring us into other financial institutions. This role is perfect for someone who genuinely loves spending time with customers, solving their problems, and turning those relationships into lasting partnerships.

Build and maintain customer-facing documentation, including help content, FAQs, admin guides, and reusable implementation methodology.
-
Drive customer adoption and expansion, ensuring customers get increasing value from Kobalt and identifying opportunities to grow the relationship.
