Siena is the Agent of Record for consumer brands. One agent that owns the entire customer journey, running on a shared intelligence layer no point tool can replicate.
Consumer brands run ten or more disconnected tools to manage their customers. We collapse that stack into a single agent. It started with support, the hardest surface a brand has, and it expands from there: Shopping Agent, Social Agent, Siena working alongside a brand's own operators. One agent across every surface, with shared memory, shared context, and shared tools.
Hundreds of brands already run real customer volume on Siena in production. This is built, working, and growing, and we are racing to build what comes next.
We are a small, fully distributed, global team. We have built leverage into how we work, which is what lets a team this size move at the speed we do.
We hire athletes. Everyone here owns real outcomes, defaults to writing over meetings, communicates with directness, and acts the moment they see something worth acting on. Low ego, high standards, fast clock.
If you want to own real problems rather than close tickets, keep reading.
About the role
Our strategic accounts, brands at $100K+ ARR, are the foundation of Siena's growth. This is the forward-deployed motion: deep, multi-year relationships where the work is less "check-in" and more "co-build". You'll own a portfolio of our highest-value customers, lead the relationships from the executive level, and drive the cross-functional expansion that turns a single CX deployment into connective tissue across a customer's entire business.
This is a permanent, senior operator and leadership role reporting to our CEO/Co-Founder. You'll work in close partnership with our AEs on commercial expansion and with our PMs on roadmap influence.
What you'll do
Own a portfolio of strategic accounts ($100K+ ARR), driving retention, expansion, and executive relationships
Build stakeholder maps: who matters, where decisions get made, where Siena can expand next
Lead multi-team expansion, beyond the CX buying center into Marketing, Returns, E-commerce, Operations
Run executive-level strategic conversations that move contracts and direction — this is about commercial outcomes, not calendar touch-points
Partner with AEs on multi-team commercial expansion; partner with PMs to translate account needs into roadmap influence
Win back at-risk accounts and defeat competitive threats through value-led conversations
Build the playbook for how Siena operates in strategic accounts from first-principles, not from importing what you did elsewhere
What we're looking for
Shark mindset: commercially driven, first-principles operator - not someone who runs a playbook they inherited
Commercial track record: quota carried or measurable revenue owned - upsells, cross-sells, expansions, renewals, hard numbers
C-level presence: you've run conversations with C-suite/VP stakeholders that moved contracts, not just maintained the relationship
Enterprise account complexity: multi-stakeholder orgs, relationships that compound over years
Account win-back: you've pulled accounts back from the edge and beaten competitors head to head
AI-native, not AI-curious: you're actively building with tools like Claude Code and can show real projects - you'll be contributing to our internal OS
Player-coach: in the room, on the calls, building the playbook from what you do
What we offer
Competitive base salary + equity - we'll size comp to experience
Remote-first, with occasional travel to customers (especially strategic accounts)
A seat at the table - this role has real influence over Siena's strategic direction with our most important customers
A team that moves fast and treats CS as a core growth function, not a support layer
Real ownership. You will own problems, not tasks, with the autonomy to solve them your way and the trust to do it without a manager in your inbox.
Work that ships and matters. What you build reaches real consumer brands fast.
A category we are creating. The Agent of Record is new ground, with unsolved problems and cutting-edge models, not a crowded field to compete in.
A team that respects your judgment. Globally distributed, async-first, low bureaucracy. We hire adults and treat you like one.
Great salary plus equity or stock grants. Own a piece of what you build.
Learning budget. If you are growing, so are we.
AI-fluency by default. Few places will push your work with production AI further or faster.
The people who thrive here are curious, customer-obsessed, and take ownership without being asked. They fix problems first and explain later. They're direct about feedback—both giving and receiving it—because they care more about getting things right than being polite.
They maintain high standards while moving at startup speed, and they build real relationships with teammates because they know that's how great work gets done. When things get tough, they adapt and keep pushing forward.
The people who thrive here treat AI like a natural extension of themselves. They've built their own ecosystem of agents - some for research, others for debugging, writing, analysis, or writing code. They know which AI works best for what problem.
Everyone gets premium accounts (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity Pro, Cursor, Lovable) plus a quarterly budget for new tools. But the magic happens in how we share knowledge. Demo days where someone shows off a clever workflows. Slack threads about which model handles a specific use case better. Learning from each other's AI workflows.
At Siena, we’re not just looking for people who can do a job. We’re looking for people who want to break boundaries, create the future, and reshape industries. If that’s you, we look forward to your application.
