Customer Success Manager at Garage (YC W24)About Garage

Garage is a marketplace for specialized vehicles and equipment, starting with emergency vehicles. By automating every part of the transaction—including payments, freight, paperwork, warranty, and financing—we reduce what used to take months down to minutes. We're building the modern platform that powers commerce across America’s essential industries.

Our team has worked at top companies (Twitter, Goldman Sachs, Ramp, PayPal, Honey) and has raised $18M from world class investors including Y Combinator, Infinity Ventures, Initialized Capital, and FJ Labs.

In this role, you will:
  • Own the post-listing customer relationship - serving as the primary point of contact for fire departments and municipalities once their listing is live, guiding them through sale, payment, and future engagement.

  • Proactively manage customer progress - monitor accounts to ensure they move smoothly through each stage of the selling process, anticipating and addressing delays or gaps before they escalate.

  • Drive retention and growth - identifying opportunities for repeat listings, referrals, and additional services (freight, warranty, appraisal upgrades, etc.).

  • Ensure exceptional customer support - Respond to customer questions and issues empathetically and efficiently, as needed

  • Serve as the voice of the customer internally - advocating for their needs and collaborating closely with our Growth, Product, and Operations teams to improve workflows, remove friction, and inform product roadmap and operational improvements.

  • Build scalable customer success processes - develop playbooks and systems that streamline success management from listing activation through sale and close, ensuring consistency, efficiency, and a great customer experience at scale.

You may enjoy this role if:
  • You love the energy of a high-growth environment where every day looks different

  • You have an exceptional EQ and a strong bias for action

  • You have a positive, warm personality with a supportive and thoughtful approach to working with others

Qualifications
  • 3+ years of success in Customer Success or Account Management roles.

  • Exceptional organization skills with the ability to juggle multiple priorities and deadlines.

  • Strong work ethic and a whatever-it-takes attitude to get the job done.

  • Ability to build scalable playbooks and processes from insights and learnings.

  • Proven ability to collaborate with multiple teams to develop creative solutions that address customer needs.

  • Skilled at navigating ambiguity while driving results in a fast-moving, foundational team.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
