About Distro
Distro is building the AI revenue platform for inside sales and counter reps in the industrial distribution industry. Our platform helps reps quote faster, close more business, and improve margins all while delivering a superior customer experience.
We’re a well-funded, post-YC (S24) startup with strong early traction and growing customer demand. Our goal is to modernize a massive industry that has historically been underserved by software.
About The Role
We’re hiring a Customer Success Manager to be the second member of our customer success team. You’ll work directly with our Head of Customer Success to ensure customers get fast, accurate, and empathetic support.
In this role, you’ll become a true expert on the Distro Platform. You’ll own the support queue, diagnose and resolve issues, and guide customers through best practices. You’ll also build playbooks, improve documentation, and surface insights that help shape our product.
This is a foundational hire: you’ll set the standard for how Distro scales customer success.
Responsibilities
You’ll be joining Distro at a formative stage with real traction, real customers, and a massive industry to transform. As our second customer success hire, you’ll help define how we support customers and ensure Distro maintains world-class service as we scale.
If you love solving puzzles, keeping systems running smoothly, and becoming the go-to expert on a powerful platform, we’d love to hear from you.
