Responsibilities: Lead a small team, manage onboarding and account management for US customers, and develop strategies for customer retention and expansion.

Skills: Strong background in customer success/account management with understanding of childcare operations, effective communication, and process improvement.

Qualifications: Experience in childcare services, ideally in leadership roles, with a passion for enhancing outcomes for educators and families.

At Famly, we are dedicated to building a platform that empowers teachers, parents, and children to thrive. Our product is trusted by hundreds of thousands globally, and our core mission is to help every customer, from small childcare providers to large key accounts, succeed at what matters most: caring for children and supporting the communities they serve.

To help us do this, we’re looking for a Head of US Customer Success who is excited to lead from the front and build durable and human-centered partnerships with childcare providers all over the country.

You’ll be joining our office in Arlington, VA, and lead a small team (initially one person), while also yourself owning onboarding and account management for a portfolio of US customers. As the team and customer base grow, you’ll help shape and execute on our efforts to scale customer value and ensure long-term customer relationships - no matter how big or small.

Your background might look like this:

You have hands-on experience working in childcare and deeply understand the operational realities, pressures, and decision-making that providers face.
OR you bring strong Customer Success/Account Management experience and have worked closely with childcare providers or similar service-based small businesses with a genuine interest in learning the childcare domain fast.
You’re comfortable wearing multiple hats: onboarding new customers, managing renewals and expansions, handling escalations, and coaching others (sometimes all in the same week).
You enjoy mentoring and supporting others and are not afraid to roll up your sleeves and be part of the frontline.

What success in this role requires:

Player/coach mindset: You enjoy doing the work yourself and see hands-on customer work as a strength.
Strong customer judgment: You can balance empathy with commercial clarity, especially in high-stakes or emotionally charged situations.
Operational curiosity: You like improving processes, not just following them, and you’re comfortable testing, iterating, and scaling what works.
Commercial awareness: You understand how onboarding quality, retention, and expansion connect to revenue and long-term customer value.
Comfort with tools & data: You don’t need to be technical, but you’re confident learning software tools, CRMs, and reporting, and using insights to guide priorities.
Clear, warm communication: You build trust easily with both customers and colleagues, and can explain complex things simply.

We’ll be especially excited if you:

Have led or supported a childcare center, maybe even as a Center Director or Assistant Director, and are ready to bring that experience into a software environment
Care deeply about improving outcomes for educators, children, and families
Are energized by building something early-stage in the US - with support from a more mature global organization

About Famly

At Famly, we're on a mission to give children the best possible start to life by supporting the people who make that happen every day: early-years professionals.

It all started when our co-founder Henrik dropped off his daughter at daycare and realised how much was still being done with pen and paper — and how distant that made him feel from her day. Together with Anders, now our CEO, they set out to build software that bridges that gap.

Today, Famly is used by thousands of childcare professionals and hundreds of thousands of parents to:

Communicate in real-time
Reduce admin stress
Improve planning, pedagogy, and finances
And ultimately, give more time to the little ones that matter most

Want to help us do even more of that? We’d love to have you.

Famly is committed to diversity and inclusion. We’re building a team that represents a wide range of perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds. Whoever you are, we’d love to hear from you.
