Why we exist:
Our mission is to build a future that everyone wants to live in. Why? Because if we don’t collectively work towards sustainable development then climate change, social exclusion, and public health become very real and scary for future generations.
For centuries, businesses have operated the same. Financials first, everything else later. But things have changed. Customers and companies want to buy from purpose-driven brands, employees want to work for them and shareholders want to invest in them. Companies today want to do more good for society and the environment but don’t know how. That’s why we built Futureproof.
What we do:
Futureproof helps businesses manage, improve and publish their social and environmental sustainability. We blend smart technology with outstanding customer service into a unique proposition that helps businesses improve what they do for people (social), our planet (environment) and stakeholders (governance).
In just two years with no outside funding, we’ve helped 100s of companies become more sustainable from fast-growing start-ups, to household brands, to award-winning agencies. But we’re only getting started. Success for us is when sustainability is the norm. Success is when every company uses sustainability software just as they do accounting.
What you’ll be doing:
As a Customer Success Manager (and Employee Number 5), you will be working closely with the Head of Customer Sustainability to ensure all companies are successfully onboarded to the platform, and are able to become as sustainable as possible via expert support. You’ll also be assisting external consultants to help manage their client base through our software.
In all you’ll be helping grow and scale Futureproof to become the #1 sustainability software of choice for companies worldwide.
Responsibilities:
* Onboarding all new companies onto the platform, eventually owning this process and continually improving how it can be optimised and scaled to make all new companies have the best and easiest experience possible.
* Account manage and build strong customer relationships - advising companies along their sustainability journeys - with varying goals from B Corp, to Net Zero, to general improvement across ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance).
* Monitor performance across the platform, owning our scorecard and assessing where companies may need extra support.
* Respond to requests and platform questions, helping customers navigate the variety of tools & features within Futureproof.
* Customer Knowledge base to help further educate and inform our customers as we scale.
* Capture new sustainability needs and ideas that will help improve the value of our product and service for companies.
* Work closely with the Founder and Head of Customer Sustainability in crafting new features and tools within the platform - with the mindset of how we can continually improve and scale the platform.
