VP of Customer Success - Roadmunk
Are you looking to join a profitable company and help it scale? Are you excited at the idea of owning the customer success strategy in a company that values trust and transparency? Then this may just be the role for you.
​
Who Is Roadmunk?
​
Artemis Canada has partnered with Roadmunk - a high growth start-up in a fast-moving and highly competitive market - to find a VP of Customer Success to ensure that customer needs are front and centre. What sets them apart is a deep understanding of the users' psychology and an ability to produce simple solutions to complex problems. They operate from a place of deep empathy.
Roadmunk was inspired by a problem the founders experienced personally: there was no simple way for product managers to build and share roadmaps. Latif Nanji, co-founder and CEO, is also a product manager and when faced with this problem he teamed up with co-founder, Tomas Benda to build a solution. The resulting app helps companies create and effectively manage roadmaps of all shapes, sizes, and types. The goal is to make strategic roadmapping quick, effective, and collaborative.
And it’s working. The most forward-thinking product teams (thousands of them!) including top companies like Amazon, Disney and eBay are using Roadmunk to align their stakeholders and execs using beautiful, crystal-clear roadmaps.
From day one, they’ve built their app, business, and culture around people-first values. These values are the driving force behind everything they do:
-
Start with empathy
-
Driven to succeed
-
Trust through transparency
-
Build with balance
-
Always learning
-
Fun together
