We Are Route

When shoppers hit "buy," a great customer experience doesn’t end, it’s just getting started. For too long, everything after checkout has been the weakest link in ecommerce: confusing tracking, lost or damaged packages, clunky returns, and missed opportunities to turn first-time buyers into lifelong fans. That's why we built Route.

Our mission is simple: we create shopper confidence that fuels brand growth. Route is the leading post-purchase platform for modern ecommerce, trusted by over 13,000 brands and protecting more than $20 billion in gross merchandise value to date. From package protection and industry-leading order tracking to returns and exchanges, cash back loyalty, and engaging product recommendations, Route brings every moment after checkout into one powerful platform, empowering shoppers with visibility and peace of mind while giving merchants loyalty that lasts well beyond the first sale.

Since launching in 2018, Route has raised over $250 million from leading investors including Craft Ventures, Hedosophia, and Hanaco Ventures, and has grown into a complete post-purchase ecosystem loved by millions of shoppers and the brands they buy from. Throughout that growth, we've stayed committed to building innovative products that empower our customers and to fostering a people-first, values-driven culture that makes Route a place where great work and great people thrive.

We're looking for talented people across the ecommerce space to join us on the next chapter of this adventure. Don't just take our word for it, Discover what life at Route has to offer.

The team

The Customer Success team plays a pivotal role at Route, ensuring that our merchants have all of the tools and knowledge they need to get the most out of our Customer Experience Platforms.

• Support legacy contract migration efforts by transitioning merchants to standard commercial terms.
• Participate in executive sponsorship programs and facilitate engagement between Route leadership and key merchant stakeholders.
• Build trusted relationships through virtual and in-person customer engagement.

What we’re looking for

• 3–5 years of experience in Customer Success, Account Management, or a related post-sale role, ideally within SaaS, e-commerce technology, fintech, or a similarly complex B2B environment.
• Experience owning renewals, retention, and customer growth objectives within a book of business.
• Strong commercial acumen with the ability to understand account performance, identify risk, and uncover expansion opportunities.
• Exceptional communication skills with a proactive, solutions-oriented approach to customer management.
• Executive presence and confidence engaging with senior stakeholders, including founders, executives, and business leaders.
