Meet Meritech
Ready to Join the Hygiene Revolution?
With a 12-second wash cycle that uses 75% less water than a manual handwash (while eliminating the same 99.9% of pathogens), Meritech's Clean Tech ® Automated Handwashing technologies are changing the hygiene game for thousands of companies in food production, packaging, entertainment, travel, and more.
The Customer Champion role is highly strategic, reporting directly to the CEO. This individual serves as the company’s escalation leader for the most critical, high-risk customer situations, delivering concierge-level (“white glove”) service to VIP customers and accounts in crisis.
This role blends executive customer advocacy, rapid problem-solving, cross-functional leadership, and root cause analysis to both resolve urgent issues and prevent recurrence. In addition, this leader provides hands‑on operational support during periods of unusually high volume or business disruption to stabilize service levels and protect the customer experience.
The ideal candidate thrives under pressure, exercises sound judgment in complex situations, and ensures that every critical customer experience is handled with urgency, empathy, and operational excellence.
