at Choco

🏢 About Choco

Choco is revolutionizing the restaurant supply chain by digitizing ordering and communication between restaurants and suppliers, directly tackling food waste and sustainability challenges. Their mission-driven approach combines technology with tangible environmental impact, making it appealing for operations professionals who want their work to contribute to meaningful change beyond typical SaaS metrics.

About This Role

This Senior Customer Success Operations Manager role is central to scaling Choco's customer success function by owning revenue forecasting accuracy and Salesforce architecture optimization. You'll directly impact leadership's confidence in projections while building processes that enable CS teams to operate more efficiently in a high-growth environment focused on reducing food waste.

💡 A Day in the Life

You might start by analyzing renewal forecast variances in Salesforce, then collaborate with CS leadership to refine projections. Afternoon could involve mapping current contract processes to identify optimization opportunities, followed by designing new reporting dashboards that translate data into actionable insights for field teams. You'll regularly interface with both technical teams on system architecture and customer-facing teams on process adoption.

🎯 Who Choco Is Looking For

  • Has 5+ years specifically in B2B SaaS Customer Success Operations with hands-on experience redesigning Salesforce objects related to contracts, renewals, and revenue reporting
  • Can demonstrate concrete examples of improving renewal and expansion forecasting accuracy in previous roles, preferably with metrics showing increased leadership confidence
  • Has experience building scalable operational processes in companies that grew from startup to scale-up phase, not just maintaining existing systems
  • Understands the unique challenges of supply chain or food tech SaaS, where customer success involves both digital adoption and real-world operational changes

📝 Tips for Applying to Choco

1

2

Highlight specific Salesforce architecture changes you've made: Mention particular objects, flows, or reporting structures you've redesigned for contracts or renewals

3

Connect your experience to Choco's mission: Show how your operations work in previous roles supported sustainability or efficiency goals, even if indirectly

4

Demonstrate scaling experience: Provide examples of processes you built that worked at 50 customers vs. 500 customers, showing you understand growth challenges

5

Use Choco's terminology: Reference 'food waste reduction' and 'supply chain communication' in your application to show you've researched their specific value proposition
