CurbWaste is a venture-backed, early-stage vertical SaaS company on a mission to modernize the waste and recycling industry. Our customers are hard-working, no-frills operators running complex businesses with limited tools. We’re here to change that.

With $50M raised and the backing of top-tier investors, we serve over 150 customers who rely on CurbWaste’s all-in-one solution to power their operations. But we’re just getting started. Our ambition is to become the system of record for the waste industry and support the people who keep our cities running.

At CurbWaste, we hold a high bar. We believe in trust, ownership, and a relentless focus on delivering value. We challenge each other to grow every day and live by values that shape how we show up:

We’re building something meaningful, and we’re looking for big thinkers and humble warriors to join us.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Customer Experience Manager to own a portfolio of accounts and help them get real, measurable value from our platform.

This isn’t a “check-the-box” CSM role. You’ll act as a strategic partner, product expert, and industry advisor working closely with customers through onboarding, adoption, and long-term success to improve how they operate and scale.

You’ll manage a blended book of accounts across varying levels of complexity. How you engage each account depends on its needs: some require deep, consultative partnerships, while others are managed through proactive outreach and structured enablement.

You’ll be part of the customer journey from the start. For higher-complexity deals, that means engaging during the sales cycle to help with workflow validation and building early stakeholder trust. You’ll join key implementation milestones like kickoff and go-live to build relationships and carry context forward. After a structured handoff, you take full ownership. You’ll own renewals for your book, you’re accountable for retention, and you’ll partner with Sales on expansion and commercial conversations.

At CurbWaste, Customer Experience isn’t a support function, it’s the backbone of how we build the product and partner with the industry. In this role, you won’t just manage accounts, you’ll develop relationships, understand workflows at a granular level, and help co-build solutions alongside customers. Over time, this role becomes a true voice of the industry inside the company, helping shape product direction not just react to it.
