Company Overview

Plantiful is building the operating system for the nursery and horticulture industry. Plants make their way to backyards, parks, and landscapes through a supply chain of skilled, passionate growers and wholesalers, many of whom run on thin margins with spreadsheets and decades-old tools. We're replacing that patchwork with one modern system where production, sales, fulfillment, and finances run together.

Founded in 2022, Plantiful was built on hundreds of conversations with growers, wholesalers, and retailers across the country, and that's still how we build today: in the field, in the greenhouse, and on the loading dock, with the people doing the work. Our customers range from container nurseries and field-grown tree farms to native plant growers and retail garden centers.

Our mission is simple: make plant businesses more productive, because healthier businesses sell more plants and help make the world a greener place!

The Role

Nurseries run on relationships, and so do we. We're looking for a seasoned Customer Success Manager to join our growing CS team and help us keep delivering the kind of partnership our customers rave about. You'll own a book of nurseries and wholesalers, be the person they call when they want to get more out of Plantiful, and make sure what they need shapes what we build next.

You'll join experienced CSMs and a tight-knit sales team who know the green industry well, and you'll work closely with our CEO and engineering team. We're still a small, fast-moving company, so your ideas will be heard and your impact will be visible from day one.

What you'll do:

• Get customers up and running. Guide nurseries through implementation, from their first onboarding meeting to their first order created in Plantiful, so they see real value quickly.
• Be a trusted partner. Meet regularly with customers to drive adoption, monitor usage, and deepen relationships, while spotting up-sell opportunities for them to unlock even more Plantiful capabilities.
• Solve problems. Answer questions and troubleshoot issues alongside our engineering team, and build support guides that help customers help themselves.
• Champion the customer. Be the voice of the nursery inside Plantiful. Gather feedback from customers in the field, translate it into clear needs internally, and help our engineers prioritize what we build next. 
• Know the product inside and out. Become the go-to expert on Plantiful and the best practices that help growers run better businesses.

Where you'll work

Hybrid in the Greater NYC area, in the office Monday through Wednesday. You'll also have chances to join us at industry trade shows, where we meet growers face-to-face.

This role is for you if...

You get real satisfaction from helping small businesses thrive, you want to grow your career alongside a team that's growing just as fast, and you love horticulture (or are excited to fall in love with it). Bonus points if you know your B&B from your bare root.
