Senior Customer Success Manager
I'm gonna be honest: parts of this job description read to me like the unfiltered ramblings of a 40-something divorced white woman who's just discovered hot yoga.

Alma's job descriptions are pretty consistently great.
Duties are pretty standard for a role like this, as are the qualifications. What's frustrating is the lack of standard info, like salary, benefits, or even normal hints about the rest of the company, so I'm putting it in Tread Carefully.
Job description is refreshingly free of "fast-paced, dynamic company" and "rockstar" language that's been so prevalent today. Salary's a little wide, but more than appropriate. This one might be a keeper!
Given the listed duties and that this position reports to the VP of Operations and will collaborate closely with senior leadership, it really needs to be more senior than a Senior Manager (I'm thinking at least a Director of Support, if not Head of).
The Must Haves section makes this essentially a highly-skilled senior communicator/engineer role, which makes the salary way too low for what they're asking for.
Veeva is a Public Benefit Corporation. I don't agree with some of their restrictions, but I think their honesty is a green flag.
I really, really hate when the salary is good for leadership roles but poor for frontline roles. The salary is especially egregious considering that it's billed as a technical role, with fluency in Spanish or Portuguese as a nice-to-have. I literally booed when I read that.
My new tagline is going to be - Bad Job Bingo: I read shitty Careers pages you don't have to.
Now I'm drinking because it feels like I'm having a wake for whomever they convince to take this job.
Other than the product being a dystopian nightmare and the fact that "View Open Positions" just directs back to LinkedIn, the job itself is okay. There's a misalignment between the duties of the role and the job title, and the salary is oddly wide. I think this goes firmly in Tread Carefully.
This job description (JD) is 2-3 times longer than the Director of Customer Success JD, despite the role supposedly being much less senior. It's just weird.
I had high hopes for this one, but the "energy" verbiage, the positivity stuff, calling health and dental a "perk" instead of the very important benefits you offer your employees in exchange for their labor...it leaves a bad taste in the mouth, you know?
Salary range is wide but high enough that I don't think anyone will really care.
This one originally appeared in Tread Carefully but I got word from a reader that it might just be a scam. Approach with extreme caution.
There's a misalignment between the duties of this position and its seniority, and before you come at me with "they don't do titles! dudebro noises", they're at this very moment advertising for a Director of Engineering, so clearly they're familiar with the concept of leveling.
I think there's a lot of performance about culture happening on Pulley's Careers page, especially considering the explanation of culture they link to is a Twitter thread from 2020.
They describe what they want instead of just plastering "critical-thinker" in a sentence and calling it a day! My crops are flourishing, my skin is clear, my bagels are perfectly toasted, tikkun olam everybody.
This one is good too. Ignore any weeping you might hear. The salary range is kind of wide, but it's okay because IT'S A UNION POSITION. A UNION. FOR REAL.
Oof, let this be a lesson to me not to finalize my notes before I look at everything. The job description is harmless enough, but the real hints at culture and work environment are in the job application.
See the Director, Customer Support listing for more on why this position also hit BINGO.
This seems okay? They're honest about the fact the company's experimenting with what works and what doesn't, which I appreciate, and the pay is pretty good for a non-technical, actually mid-level manager role.
Y'all. Whenever a company mentions the actual benefits of a job as "in addition" to the PRIVILEGE and SPLENDOR of simply working for said company, as if being able to feed and provide for the health of your family is secondary to supporting an "iconic brand," well that is a major red flag.
Uh. Buckle in, my friends, because this one is A RIDE.
