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.
