Customer Success Manager

About Presto Phoenix, Inc.

Presto is the leading Voice AI company for restaurant drive‑thrus, operating at scale in complex, noisy, customer‑facing environments. As the AI partner to more than a dozen of the most iconic American restaurant brands, Presto is building one of the most impactful real‑world applications of AI that directly impacts revenue, labor efficiency, and a magical guest experience for millions of people.

AI is not a feature at Presto, it is the foundation of how we build, evaluate, and evolve our products. We operate at lightning speed iteration cycles and are solving some of the hardest problems in Voice AI. We are backed by Remus Capital, were a Y Combinator company, and are headquartered in Silicon Valley.

This may not be the right fit for you, if you are looking for a traditional 9‑to‑5 environment. We move at the pace of AI. Change is constant, and roadmaps evolve quickly. Presto is for builders, experimenters, and problem‑solvers who thrive in ambiguity, learn continuously, and are excited to shape the future of real‑world AI alongside a high‑performance team.

We are looking for a Customer Success Manager (CSM) to ensure Presto’s solutions deliver maximum value to our restaurant partners, their staff, and guests. The ideal candidate needs to be close to a major airport and be located in the Midwest or East Coast.
