ABOUT YOU This is an opportunity to join Axle Health as our Founding Account Manager to ensure our customers achieve maximum value from our platform. You'll take ownership of customer relationships from day one, driving adoption, engagement, and long-term success while building the playbooks and processes that will define how we scale Account Management at Axle. Ideal candidates thrive in high-autonomy environments where they're expected to identify what needs to be built and build it themselves. You're equally comfortable managing strategic customer relationships and rolling up your sleeves to scale the infrastructure (onboarding workflows, health scoring systems, customer communication templates). You bring the customer success expertise of someone who's done this before, with the operational mindset of someone who's excited to do it from scratch.
