Foundation is hiring a customer success executive to accelerate our core business, modernize homebuilding, and help transform the experience of buying, selling, and owning homes.
About FoundationBacked by $6.8M in funding from leading VCs (including Y Combinator), Foundation is an ex-Opendoor team transforming residential real estate.
Foundation’s first product is the native customer experience platform for homebuilders — think “Shopify for Homebuilders.” We work with enterprise-scale homebuilders to deliver a modern digital customer experience, dramatically improving both their customer happiness and the productivity of their teams. In two years, we’ve demonstrated clear product-market fit and rapid growth — all with just contract design support.
The RoleWe’re hiring an experienced Customer Success Manager to own and grow relationships with a portfolio of Foundation customers. This role sits at the intersection of customer success, account management, and onboarding execution. You’ll serve as a trusted partner to customers post-sale—driving adoption, managing ongoing needs, and ensuring customers realize long-term value from the platform.
You’ll operate with a high degree of autonomy, managing multiple accounts and priorities while proactively identifying risks, opportunities, and process improvements. You’ll collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, and Operations to resolve issues, influence roadmap decisions through customer feedback, and continuously improve how we onboard and support customers.
This role is built for someone who wants real ownership and real impact. As an early member of a growing team, you’ll help define how we work with customers—not just execute an existing playbook. You’ll wear multiple hats, make decisions, and see the direct results of your work as Foundation scales.
This is an ideal role for someone with strong SaaS customer experience who thrives in fast-moving environments, enjoys building from ambiguity, and wants meaningful ownership and visibility in a scaling startup.
