**Customer Engagement & Finance Specialist (Remote) – Unlocking Cash Flow and Building Relationships at blithequark**
Are you a problem-solver with a passion for communication and a knack for navigating complex bureaucratic systems? Do you thrive in fast-paced environments where no two days are the same? If so, we're looking for a talented Customer Engagement & Finance Specialist to join our team at blithequark. As a key member of our finance and customer success teams, you'll play a critical role in ensuring timely payment from our customers and building strong relationships with them.
**About blithequark**
blithequark is a profitable, founder-led SaaS company that powers secure file transfer and automation for over 4,000 brands you know and love. With a $35M+ business and a team of just 70 people, we've built a reputation for hiring smart, clear-thinking communicators who act fast and own outcomes. Backed by $46.5M from Riverwood Capital, we're scaling intentionally, and this role is a core part of that growth.
**What You'll Actually Do**
As a Customer Engagement & Finance Specialist at blithequark, you'll be responsible for troubleshooting payment issues, communicating with customers, logging and documenting CRM data, and coordinating with cross-functional teams. Your primary goal will be to ensure timely payment from our customers, while also building strong relationships with them.
* **Troubleshoot Payment Issues**: Investigate why payments are missing, and find the real blocker and remove it. This could mean invoice confusion, missing paperwork, sales tax mismatches, vendor delays, or technical hiccups.
* **Client Communication (Phone + Email)**: Pick up the phone and talk with customers about invoices and payments in a collaborative, solutions-focused way. Professional, empathetic, persistent – never heavy-handed.
* **CRM Logging & Documentation**: Capture every call, email, and decision with clarity. Our finance, audit, and support teams depend on your records. No fluff, no gaps – just crisp documentation that anyone can follow at a glance.
* **Cross-Department Coordination**: Work closely with Billing, Support, Sales, and Leadership. You won't solve everything alone – but you will keep issues moving through the right lanes so customers always feel supported.
**What Success Looks Like**
* Invoices are paid on time – or quickly recovered when delayed
* Customers leave billing conversations feeling respected and supported
* Cash keeps flowing, revenue stays predictable, and the business stays healthy
* Teams across Finance, Sales, and Support trust your notes and depend on your follow-through
**Who Thrives In This Role**
* You communicate like it's your superpower – especially on the phone
* You can detangle messy, bureaucratic problems without losing momentum
* You stay positive and empathetic – even in tough conversations
* You're disciplined about logging details and following through
* You move quickly, think clearly, and keep your eye on the goal: timely payment
**Where This Role Can Take You (Growth Path)**
We don't sit on talent. Perform well here and doors open fast. Growth paths from this role include:
* Customer Engagement Manager – Coaching and leading other customer-facing employees
* Finance/Accounting Leadership – Driving process improvements, managing outcomes, even stepping into Controller-track work
* Operations or Customer Success – Expanding into adjacent high-visibility, high-impact roles
If you've got hunger and discipline, there's no ceiling.
**What This Job Is Not**
This isn't for you if:
* You avoid phone calls and try to solve everything over email
* You need to be reminded to follow up or log work
* You freeze in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
* You dislike feedback or take it personally
We move fast, communicate clearly, and hold a high bar – for ourselves and each other.
**Perks & Benefits**
* 100% Paid Health, Dental & Vision (75% for family)
* 401(k) with 4% Company Match
* Equity Grants for Every Employee
* Paid Parental Leave
* 20 PTO Days + 11 Holidays + Full Company Winter Break
* $1,000 Signing Bonus + Modern Apple Laptop + Anniversary Gifts
* ✈️ Team Travel to NYC, Austin, San Diego, and More
**Bottom Line**
This role matters. Done well, it keeps customers happy, cash flowing, and the business strong. If you want a career launchpad where you'll solve real problems every day and grow fast, we want you in this seat.
