About Virio

Virio is building the next-generation B2B GTM stack - an AI-powered content engine that turns executive thought leadership into a pipeline at scale. 

We help the fastest-growing B2B companies go to market through executive-led content that drives revenue, not vanity metrics. Virio is not a content agency. We're backed by investors and operators from LinkedIn, YouTube, HubSpot, Rippling, and Google. We’ve built a repeatable system for turning founder-led content into meetings, pipeline, and brand power.

We are building GTM infrastructure that behaves like a high-output operator, combining strategy, execution, and systems thinking. Having added $1M in ARR within the last 30 days, our recruiting team is moving quickly to hire the talent we need to continue our momentum.

We are now looking for a Founding Customer Success Manager to help define and scale Virio’s customer success motion.

  • Support renewals and expansions in close partnership with leadership

  • B2B marketing & GTM fluency – Strategic understanding of B2B marketing and go-to-market fundamentals

  • Operational organization – Highly organized and detail-oriented with consistent follow-through

  • Execution-first ownership – Bias toward action with strong ownership over outcomes

  • Craft-first mindset – Prioritizes quality of execution and operating excellence over years of tenure


Traits That Thrive at Virio

  • Startup intensity comfort – Comfortable operating amid real startup chaos and pace

  • Executive calm & credibility – Calm, clear, and trusted in interactions with senior executives

Benefits
