🏢 About Goodstack

They work with major brands like Google, OpenAI, TikTok, and HSBC, and facilitated $5 billion in donations in 2025 alone.

About This Role

As a Customer Success Associate for AgentPro, Goodstack's AI-powered grant writing platform, you will own the end-to-end customer journey for nonprofit and corporate clients. You'll ensure clients maximize value from the platform, driving retention and revenue growth while directly enabling more funding for good causes. This is a high-impact role at the intersection of AI, social impact, and customer success.

💡 A Day in the Life

You might start your day with a check-in on customer health metrics, then lead a onboarding call with a new nonprofit client. Later, you could analyze usage data to identify upsell opportunities, collaborate with the product team on feedback, and end with a renewal conversation. Every day is a mix of strategic and tactical work to ensure clients achieve their funding goals.

🎯 Who Goodstack Is Looking For

  • 2+ years in customer success, account management, or sales, preferably at a SaaS or AI startup.
  • Proven ability to drive revenue through upsells, cross-sells, and renewals while maintaining high customer satisfaction.
  • Familiarity with grant writing, nonprofit fundraising, or the social impact sector is a strong plus.
  • Comfortable working remotely, proactive, and able to thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous startup environment.
