Palco•Pittsburgh, PA

2h•Remote

About The Position

The Client Engagement Manager (CEM) provides the critical link between Palco and its various partners nationwide, while also supervising a small to medium-sized staff. Client Engagement Managers are the one-call, one-stop solution to all client needs, questions and issues. CEMs are the subject matter experts for the program or programs they support and provide expert-level knowledge to internal and external audiences alike. Engagement Managers balance their commitment to the company with an unyielding attitude of process and programmatic improvement. While still bound by all program rules, guidelines and state and federal law, the CEM never fails to consider how a program may be improved in terms of responsiveness, effectiveness and service by Palco and by extension to the program participant. CEMs are the subject-matter experts in Palco processes and have an acute understanding of the interconnectedness of company departments in the execution of program responsibilities. This enables the CEM to pinpoint bottlenecks and suggest comprehensive solutions by understanding how departments function and how changes in one area affect operations in another. Client Engagement Managers are also expected to build long-term relationships with new and existing clients and business partners, and conduct research to identify new business opportunities (markets) and client needs.
