FERMÀT is the AI native commerce platform that optimizes shopping experiences, leading to best-in-class shopper engagement and conversion. We help brands transform clicks into conversions with dynamic, personalized shopping experiences—built and optimized in minutes.
Backed by VMG, Bain Capital Ventures, Greylock, QED, and named The Information’s #1 commerce startup, we’re a 70+ person team based in SF, Austin, NYC, and Bangalore. As a fast-growing Series B company, we’re building the infrastructure for the future of online retail—and we’re just getting started.
About the Role:
As a Customer Onboarding Manager at FERMÀT, you will play a critical role in helping brands rapidly unlock ROI, adopt and build on FERMÀT, and integrate FERMÀT into their marketing stack. Your primary focus will be guiding customers through implementation, leading early experimentation, and establishing the foundation for long-term success.
You will leverage your technical expertise, strategic thinking, and communication skills to build strong multi-threaded relationships across customer teams and ensure they confidently embed FERMÀT into their workflows. You’ll also shape the onboarding experience itself—building scalable playbooks, frameworks, and tools that compress time-to-value and elevate customer performance.
This is a high-impact role that involves hands-on platform guidance, strategic advisory, and close cross-functional collaboration. You will represent the voice of new customers internally, influence product direction, and ensure FERMÀT becomes an essential part of each brand’s operating model.
