About The Position

Sparta is the next-generation commodity trading platform. We give trading desks the clarity, control, and collaboration they need to move faster and trade smarter.

At Sparta, you’ll be trusted to take ownership, backed by a team who wants you to succeed. You’ll be challenged, supported, and given room to grow. Because building something this ambitious takes everyone at their best. At Sparta, your work has reach. From improving our platform, to powering smarter decisions for our customers, to changing how commodity trading is done around the world. And because we’re growing fast, you won’t just build your career. You’ll accelerate it, with a level of ownership and impact you simply don’t get at bigger, more bureaucratic companies. We're looking for a Customer Success Manager to join our growing CS team in Houston, reporting to our VP of Customer Success. You'll own a portfolio of clients — including hedge funds, oil majors, refiners, vessel owners and trading companies — and be responsible for their onboarding, adoption, retention and growth.
