Customer Success Manager - Construction

Skimmer is on a mission: to modernize the pool and spa service, repair, and construction industry. We’re a private equity-backed company with 7000+ customers using Skimmer’s pool service platform to transform their businesses. But we’re not stopping there (there are over 70,000 pool service companies in this surprisingly large “niche” space). We’re now bringing that same approach to pool builders with our construction platform, and we’re hiring a CSM to help those customers succeed.

Our customers love us almost as much as we love them (check out our reviews and our NPS score of 68!)

We are currently #615 on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies (#74 in Texas and #63 in Software!), on the Deloitte Fast 500, one of Built In Austin's Best Startups, ABJ’s 6th Fastest Growing Company, and most importantly one of Austin's Best Places for Working Parents for the last 5 years. We’re proud of the incredible company we’ve built, and we’re just getting started.

We’re looking for big thinkers with small egos, so let’s dive in!
