I'm looking for a remote CRM, customer success, or support role where I can build lasting customer relationships. I started in customer support, then moved into procurement and client management, so I understand both customer needs and business realities. As a Computer Science graduate, I learn tools fast and keep records clean. I want to grow toward customer success.
