About Rally UXR

Rally is the User Research CRM that helps product, design, and research teams talk to their users quickly, safely, and at scale. Our platform automates the unglamorous parts of research—participant recruitment, outreach, screening, scheduling, consent, and incentives—so teams can spend more time learning from customers and less time wrestling with spreadsheets and manual workflows.

We’re trusted by UX, product, and research teams at companies like Google, Adobe, Figma, GitLab, MongoDB, Webflow, and others who use Rally to make research a continuous input into product decisions.

User research is still an emerging capability inside many organizations and has historically relied on disjointed tools and manual processes. Rally exists to fix that: we’re building the infrastructure layer that makes high-quality research easier to run, easier to scale, and impossible to ignore.

We’re backed by leading investors including Y Combinator, Stage 2 Capital, and Canapi Ventures, and we’re growing quickly as more teams realize that continuous research is a competitive advantage.

About the team

Rally Customer Experience is a highly collaborative, user-obsessed group focused on making research smoother for both our customers and their participants.

• We work closely with UX Researchers, Research Ops leaders, designers, and product managers at some of the world’s most user-centric companies.
• We use Rally to build Rally - talking to our own users frequently, running studies on our platform, and feeding insights straight into the roadmap.
• We favor small, empowered teams, high ownership, and a tight feedback loop between customers, product, and engineering.

The opportunity

Rally is in the middle of a massive shift in how companies run user research: from ad-hoc, one-off projects to continuous learning that informs every product decision. In this role, you’ll help define what that future looks like—for Rally as a product and for the teams who rely on us to run research at scale. You’ll join at a stage where we have a strong product-market fit, a fast-growing customer base, and plenty of hard, interesting problems left to solve.

As our Customer Success Manager operating as a Customer Research-Ops Partner, you’ll own all post-sales activities across a portfolio of mid-market and enterprise customers, from onboarding and activation to renewals and expansion. You’ll be the bridge between researchers and product outcomes, surfacing insights that directly shape how we build Rally.

What you’ll do

• Own end-to-end post-sales success for a portfolio of ~50 mid-market and enterprise customers, driving healthy product adoption and long-term value.
• Lead customer onboarding and implementation, designing clear activation plans.
• Monitor account health and usage data to identify risks and opportunities, then run targeted plays to improve activation, retention, and expansion.
• Build and deepen relationships with executive sponsors, champions, and power users, tying Rally to measurable business outcomes.
• Own renewals and expansion motions across your book of business, collaborating with Sales as needed to meet and exceed revenue targets.
• Act as the voice of the customer internally, synthesizing qualitative and quantitative feedback to influence our product roadmap and overall customer experience.
• Continuously refine and document Customer Success playbooks, processes, and best practices as we scale the Customer Experience function.

What you’ll bring

• 3–5 years in customer-facing roles (Customer Success, Account Management, Implementation/Professional Services, Research Ops, or similar), ideally within B2B SaaS serving mid-market or enterprise accounts.
• Proven experience managing a book of business of approximately $2M+ ARR, including ownership of renewals and expansions with executive buyers and key stakeholders.
• S-tier organization skills and the ability to juggle multiple accounts, strategies, and projects while maintaining high quality and follow-through.
• A data-driven mindset; you’re comfortable using qualitative and quantitative signals to assess account health, prioritize actions, and measure value realization.
• Excellent communication and facilitation skills, including leading live customer trainings, onboarding sessions, and value-focused executive conversations.
• A builder’s, owner’s mindset—curious, empathetic, proactive, and energized by solving ambiguous problems in a fast-moving startup environment.

Nice to have

• Familiarity with UX research tools, methodologies, and Research Ops workflows.
• Experience running onboarding or implementation for technical products, including basic troubleshooting and configuring customer workflows.
• Background partnering directly with UX Researchers, Design leaders, or Product teams.
• Demonstrated empathy, customer advocacy, and the ability to translate customer needs into clear internal narratives and action plans.
