Description:

Who we are: First Street is the standard for Climate Risk Financial Modeling. We use transparent and peer-reviewed methodologies to calculate the past, present, and future climate risk for every property in the world. We started working with the world's leading climate scientists to create groundbreaking, climate-adjusted, property specific models over 8 years ago and haven't stopped.

Our mission: We exist to connect climate and financial risk.

Our data: We create physics-based, deterministic models of flooding, wildfire and hurricanes, and advanced statistical models of extreme heat, air quality, drought, hail, severe convective storms, winter storms, and more. All of this data is used to create property-level financial risk metrics and macroeconomic variables to quantify the impacts of climate, property by property.

Our customers: We empower governments at the highest levels to make smart regulations, businesses to avoid bad investments, and everyday Americans to understand their personal risk from climate change. We are relied on every day by:

Agencies ranging from the U.S. Department of Treasury to Fannie Mae

The world's biggest banks such as Bank of America and Wells Fargo

Institutional investors like Nuveen and Blackstone

Millions of everyday users on Zillow, Redfin, Realtor.com, Homes.com, and more

We believe: With the right data, we can identify the problems, avoid bad investments, and implement solutions. This is why we have invested tens of millions of dollars into our science, data, people, and products and have raised tens of millions more to move even faster.

Team & Role Overview:

As a Client Success Manager at First Street, you will play a pivotal role in building trusted, long-term partnerships with First Street's clients - including global and regional banks, asset owners/managers, pension funds, and real estate investment trusts.

You will partner with account executives to manage client relationships, identify opportunities for growth, and drive account retention. In addition, you will be responsible for collecting valuable insights to shape future product development, advocating for client needs, and ensuring our solutions continuously evolve in step with how financial institutions and real estate investors increasingly use climate risk data and modeling to inform decisions. Collaborating cross-functionally with the Product, Climate Science, and Climate Implications teams, you will be instrumental in translating client needs into internal actions. With a strong focus on relationship building, value realization, and identifying growth opportunities, you'll help clients not only navigate climate risk, but also leverage it as a strategic advantage.

5-7 years in a client-facing role, with at least 2 years in Client Success, Account Management, or Implementation, preferably in SaaS or data products

Proven ability to manage client relationships in complex, regulated environments, such as commercial banking or investment management

Familiarity with how lenders and real estate investors integrate data into credit, risk, or investment workflows

Experience coordinating cross-functional internal teams to solve client needs quickly and effectively

What will make you stand out:

Prior experience working with or selling to commercial banks, investment managers, or investment risk teams

Hands-on knowledge of climate-related financial risk frameworks (e.g., TCFD)
