Company mission
To help technology companies build their business and make their customers more successful.
Role
Who you are
- The main thing is business acumen (especially experience at a scrappy startup), coupled with technical aptitude (especially automation)
- You probably know how to read a P&L statement, and have programmed “hello world”
- You get that this role is all about creating tangible business value, not getting lost in technical details
- In short, you are someone who translates business requirements into results
- People are always sending things your way because you just seem to 'get it'
- You get stuff to work, often better than people were picturing
- Self-starter: you enjoy learning, you’re curious, you like a fast pace, you jump onto business and technical calls, quickly understand people’s objectives, then figure out an efficient technical implementation, your comfort zone is constantly expanding
- Technical knowledge meets business acumen : you know your way around APIs, webhooks, data migrations, customer objectives, and deadlines (or you’re a fast learner technically, with strong commercial/consulting credentials)
- Problem solver: you're structured, you like logical challenges, and also know when you're heading down a rabbit hole (it happens!)
- French speaker: you can engage fluently with French-speaking customers on business and technical matters
- If you are an over-performer and the 'go-to' person in your team; then you'll fit right in here
What the job involves
- Work with sales to build a POC for the C-suite at an EduTech company, teasing the most insightful metrics dashboard they've ever seen
- Help a FinTech startup struggling with data across many systems sync their data seamlessly into Planhat
- Take a PropTech company's key processes from spreadsheets and forms into Planhat, not only designing automation steps, but also flagging churn risk and identifying growth opportunities
- Successful TAMs have numerous career path opportunities. Senior leadership roles, international expansions, switching departments (product, support); as well as driving strategic projects
Application process
- Applications are considered on a rolling basis

Our take
According to Planhat, even though acquiring customers is essential for the initial growth of a company, long-term sustainable growth comes from maximising the lifetime value of existing customers. The Sweden-based but globally remote startup provides a modern customer platform that helps clients analyse insights regarding their target audience, manage workflow and drive customer experience.
Planhat distinguishes itself from other customer success software like Salesforce and Totango through its rapid deployment and easy adoption. The platform provides a wide range of solutions, from customizable customer health score to management reporting and CSM team performance. It's been taken up by thousands of teams globally and its corporate customers include the likes of Consensys, Alation and Adenza.
Initially a bootstrapped company, Planhat had already built a significant business by the time it closed its first investment round in 2022, a Series A. This funding is being used to support the company's growth by scaling its commercial teams, accelerating its R&D and further developing the product.

Company benefits
- Remote-first work environment: Talent is blind to borders and so are we! Occasionally Hatters will travel to meet with teammates or clients, but it depends on the role
- Planhat Adventures: We sponsor quarterly pop-up hubs around the globe for Hatters to gather to work and play together. Previous locations have included New York City, Colombia, Malibu, France, Greece, Georgia (the country!), and more!
- Flexible working hours: 3 factors impact when you work—customer/business needs, team working schedules, and personal preferences. We trust you to use your judgment and get your work done
- Work-from-home setup: All employees receive a 13” Macbook Pro upon their start date with Planhat! Our Operations team will work with you to ensure you have any additional tools you need to work remotely with success
- Flexible public holidays: We all celebrate different things in life— switch a public holiday for another day that’s more in line with who you are and what’s important to you
- Paid parental leave: Up to 6 months, pending tenure with Planhat. As with all of our other policies, it’s gender-neutral. Also applicable to adoptive parents
- BYB—Be Your Best contribution: No one knows better than you what sets you up for success; spend more time in one of our office or pop-up hubs, external sales training, some neat tools, attending a conference, gym cards, extra screen, whatever? We’ll only ask: “How will this be beneficial for you and your work at Planhat?”
Company values
- Fearless: Be bold and play to win - taking the safe route will never get us far
- Impactful: When you do something, do it right and make sure it moves the ship forward
- Caring: Be kind to yourself and others, so that we help each other grow
- Genuine: Be comfortable in your own skin, and create an environment where others can be too
