Customer Success Executive
Customer Support Specialist Job 2 miles from Menlo Park
Instrumental helps the world's most admired electronics brands build better hardware -- delivering 3mo payback periods and improving the most critical manufacturing metrics. We drive the digital transformation of quality, inspection, and testing with data analysis & AI products. Hardware engineering, manufacturing operations, and quality teams leverage Instrumental's manufacturing platform to accelerate development time, improve yields, and reduce field failures.
We're looking for a Customer Success Executive (CSE) who thrives in the space between strategy and execution. This is not a behind-the-scenes role-you'll be in the thick of it, guiding enterprise customers through high-impact decisions, uncovering new opportunities, and expanding our footprint within organizations like Cisco or Bose. You'll need to be sharp, adaptable, and persistent, knowing when to push and when to listen. Success in this role comes from understanding the people behind the business-building trust, influencing decisions, and creating partnerships that drive real impact. And while you'll drive business growth, you won't be above jumping in wherever needed to make sure customers succeed.
This is an opportunity to own key customer relationships, drive real business outcomes, and work with some of the most innovative teams in manufacturing. The right person will find satisfaction not just in the wins, but in the challenge of earning them-understanding the nuances of each customer, navigating complexity, and making an undeniable impact.
At Instrumental, we know that the best customer partnerships are built on trust, insight, and the ability to lead with both confidence and empathy. If you're someone who thrives in environments where relationships, strategy, and execution intersect-and you want to be part of a team that values your ability to build, connect, and drive meaningful change-we'd love to hear from you.
What You'll Do:
Cultivate and expand relationships with enterprise manufacturing leaders, earning their trust and influencing key decisions.
Identify opportunities for growth within existing accounts and thoughtfully lead customers toward solutions that make a meaningful impact.
Serve as a strategic partner, balancing advocacy for the customer with a deep understanding of how to move the business forward.
Work cross-functionally with Sales, Product, and Engineering to ensure seamless execution and continued success.
Be hands-on when needed-whether troubleshooting a customer issue or making sure they feel supported in high-stakes moments.
Who You Are:
A natural relationship builder with the confidence to challenge assumptions and the tact to do so effectively.
Someone who has direct experience with hardware development or manufacturing businesses and a deep understanding of how to transform movement in specific KPIs such as yield, throughput, and quality to business and operational value.
Adept at navigating large, complex organizations, understanding both formal structures and the unspoken dynamics that drive decisions.
Comfortable with strong personalities-whether it's a direct, no-nonsense VP or a skeptical engineering lead, you know how to engage, guide, and win trust.
Unafraid to push for results while keeping relationships strong-your approach is persistent but never abrasive.
Energized by solving problems and making things happen, whether through influence, creative thinking, or sheer determination.
Highly attuned to the nuances of communication-you know when to be direct, when to be diplomatic, and how to make people feel heard while still moving things forward.
This position requires access to items and data that are developed under U.S. government contracts and subject to dissemination controls that limit access to U.S. citizens only.
We're a growing team that works collaboratively, supports each other, and is energized by having impact. We value passion and the ability to learn - you're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't match the job description precisely!
The following is a representative annual base salary range for this position within the Bay Area: $117-155k. This position is additionally eligible for substantial variable incentives. In addition, job level and salary opportunities are evaluated through our interview process - we review the experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities of each applicant.
Instrumental is proud to offer a highly-rated variety of benefits, including health, vision, dental, commuter plans, and parental leave.

We use considerate AI agents to gather deep insights throughout the customer journey, direct executives to improve their offerings, and boost revenues, reimagining what an AI-native feedback would be for businesses.
We are just starting to work with some local and global companies in New York and would love to work with interns who want to learn how companies get going from scratch. You will play a critical role in gathering and analyzing valuable consumer feedback that directly impacts our business success.
Position Overview:
BeHeard is seeking an analytical and creative Retail Strategy & Consumer Feedback Intern to help optimize our approach to gathering in-store consumer insights. This internship is an exciting opportunity for someone interested in strategy, consumer behavior, and how to strategically insert consumer feedback mechanisms into the physical store environments, such as retail, services, restaurants, and more.
In this role, you will study how consumers move through stores and identify the best points of engagement for capturing feedback. You will focus on uncovering where BeHeard can be most effectively integrated into the customer journey to capture high-quality insights, especially for global brands and chains.
Key Responsibilities:
1) Retail Store Observations:
Visit and study retail, restaurant, and service businesses
Observe customer behavior, from entry to exit, to understand how they engage with different areas of the store (product displays, customer service desks, checkout areas, etc.).

Focus on optimizing interaction points that maximize valuable customer feedback for the brand.
2) Strategic Analysis of Consumer Flow:
Map the typical consumer journey in the store, identifying where and when customers are most likely to engage with feedback tools.
Analyze the efficiency and effectiveness of current feedback-gathering techniques (e.g., surveys, kiosks, or mobile interactions).
Evaluate potential barriers to customer participation in feedback programs and suggest ways to overcome them.
3) Develop Feedback Insertion Strategy:
Propose strategies for BeHeard to insert itself into the retail experience in a non-intrusive yet effective way.
Brainstorm innovative feedback mechanisms that integrate seamlessly into the store's existing layout and consumer journey.
Recommend technology, tools, or physical placements (e.g., at checkout counters, near product displays, or at exits) that encourage customers to share feedback.
Provide actionable recommendations for each retail partner based on your observations.
4) Create Strategic Presentations:
Develop clear and compelling presentations that outline your findings and recommendations.
Include visual maps of the customer flow, identifying where BeHeard could most effectively gather feedback.
Present your ideas for maximizing feedback collection without disrupting the shopping experience.
Ensure the presentations are tailored to each brand's unique retail environment and customer base.

A deeper understanding of how consumer behavior impacts retail performance.
Practical experience in creating strategic recommendations for high-profile brands.
The opportunity to innovate and contribute to real-world retail feedback solutions.
