Freelance Customer Success Manager – Slovenian-Speaking

No previous experience in the climate space? Don't worry, we are happy to help you grow into a climate expert at Root! 🌎 What we do We build software that helps companies along the food system get to Net Zero. ~31% of global GHG emissions originate from food-related activities. For the first time in history, climate performance has become an overall business performance indicator. Enterprises are mandated by regulatory bodies to disclose their climate performance, which leads to increasing pressure from investors, competitors, retailers, and consumers to prevent and reduce their CO2e emissions. Over the next 10 years, companies have set ambitious reduction targets that need to be met. Enterprise software and new business processes can help. We raised >€10m in funding in the first 2 years of our existence, we launched our enterprise product, signed and onboarded some of the largest F&B players in Europe, and put together what we believe is the best-suited early stage tech team in Europe. Will you be the next to join us? 🚀 🔭 What this freelance role looks like This is not a full- or part-time position.

We get it: confidence can sometimes hold us back from applying for a job. But guess what?! There is no such thing as a 'perfect' candidate. The only thing you need to ensure along the recruiting process and beyond is that the problem that we are solving with Root is one you cannot wait to get out of bed for on Monday morning! 🤗 🦾 How we support you • You will collaborate as part of a cross-disciplinary team that brings together sales and account managers, product experts and customer success specialists 🎢 Contracting Process Our ambition is to offer you an end-to-end experience that is fast and uncomplicated - we aim to keep the end-to-end process to 10 working days .
