About Krea

At Krea, we are building next-generation AI creative tools.

We're dedicated to making AI intuitive and controllable for creatives - our mission is to build tools that empower human creativity, not replace it. We believe AI is a new medium that allows us to express ourselves through various formats - text, images, video, sound, and even 3D. We're building better, smarter, and more controllable tools to harness this medium. We recently took this a step forward with the launch of Krea 2, our first foundation model, built completely from scratch for aesthetic diversity and stylistic control.

We've raised over $83M and are backed by world-class investors such as a16z, Bain Capital, and Abstract. We work full-time and in-person at our waterfront office in San Francisco. We care about creativity: our team includes musicians, designers, visual artists, and engineers.

 

This role

We're looking for a Founding Customer Success Manager to help our customers get real value from Krea, from first onboarding to deep, long-term adoption. You'll work closely with creative teams, guide them through workflows, and be the connective tissue between customers, product, and sales.

What you'll do

  • Own post-sale customer success: onboarding, adoption, renewals, and expansion

  • Help customers integrate Krea into their creative workflows and daily work

  • Drive product adoption across our core customer profiles

  • Communicate new feature and product updates (we ship weekly)

  • Track usage and customer signals to help customers get more value

  • Identify expansion opportunities and own the renewal process end-to-end, from forecasting risk to closing the deal

  • Program manage webinars and workshops in partnership with our creative leads, from planning content through execution

  • Share customer feedback with the product and marketing teams and help shape what we build

What we're looking for

  • Experience in Customer Success or Account Management

  • Commercially minded, with a track record of renewing and growing customer accounts

  • Product-focused mindset, with experience in onboarding and implementation

  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills - you're great at building and maintaining relationships

  • Proactive, ownership-driven attitude and comfort working in an early-stage environment

Nice to have

  • A creative background (e.g.: account manager at a creative agency, or a startup working with designers, artists, or studios)

  • Strong understanding of creative workflows

What we offer

  • Team: Work alongside a world-class team building the future of AI creative tooling

  • Impact: Significant scope and company-wide impact

  • Competitive compensation: generous salary & equity packages

  • Health & wellness: 100% health & 99% dental/vision insurance premiums covered for employees, health FSA accounts, & long-term disability coverage

  • Time off: Flexible PTO policy

  • Financial planning: 401k with a 4% company-sponsored match

  • Meals in the office: breakfast, lunch, dinner - you name it, we'll cover it

  • Transit: Ubers covered to & from the office

  • Sponsorship: We're open to sponsoring international visas where we can (e.g., STEM OPT, OPT, H-1B, O-1, E-3).

  • And more!
