What are we looking for?
Build. Scale. Drive Impact.
At Pinwheel, we’re not just building products—we’re redefining what’s possible in fintech. On the
Customer Success team, you’ll be the driving force behind our customers’ success, working with everyone from trailblazing Enterprise fintechs to ambitious Credit Unions. Your mission? Help them crush their goals using our powerful API-driven platform.
This isn’t your average CS role. You’ll be hands-on from
Day 1—leading onboarding with precision, optimizing usage for max impact, and uncovering expansion opportunities that nobody else saw coming. You’ll learn the ins and outs of our API, mastering everything from implementation to troubleshooting, while crafting onboarding processes that scale as we do.
Once customers are live, you’re the go-to—an extension of their team. You’ll analyze performance metrics, strategize optimizations, and bring fresh ideas to the table that transform “good enough” into “game-changing.” Through strong, authentic relationships with decision-makers, you’ll spot new use cases, pitch compelling solutions, and work side-by-side with Sales to
unlock growth.
