Umbra

Umbra builds next-generation space systems that observe the Earth in unprecedented fidelity. 

Our mission: Deliver global omniscience.

To stay ahead of climate change, geopolitical risk, and other major crises and issues, we need a global understanding of what is changing, where, and how fast. Umbra provides easy access to the highest quality commercial satellite data available, which is an indispensable tool for the growing number of organizations monitoring the Earth. We empower our customers to create the solutions that inform, inspire, and address our planet’s most pressing needs. We’re helping to create a brand new industry that has never meaningfully existed before.

If you are customer-focused, problem solver who wants to help us build an elite customer success motion, please apply!  Umbra is in the early days of bringing to market its world class remote sensing technology.  Umbra needs an energetic, flexible, and resourceful customer success professional willing to work across multiple aspects of the client experience (pre-sales, onboarding, account management) and cross-functionally with multiple Umbra business units (Sales, Marketing, Space Systems, Software).

 

Your main focus will be ensuring that Umbra customers receive exceptional value, tell their friends about us, and eagerly increase their business.  As a secondary focus you will help Umbra scale by advising us (based on customer feedback and your own observations) on product feedback, technical requirements, and the customer experience.  This is the perfect job for someone who is interested in customer success, remote sensing, and start-ups.

• Document common questions for use in customer self-service FAQs, internal product feedback resources, and other valuable artifacts.
• Consult with clients on how they want to use Umbra products and data to meet their business goals.  Partner with Umbra space systems and software to incorporate these insights into the technical roadmap and tie them to expected business benefits.
• Regularly report on the health of assigned accounts to mitigate churn risk, identify expansion opportunities, and create marketing opportunities.
