Client Experience Manager - SMB

Slang.ai • New York, NY

183d • $105,000 - $110,000

About The Position

As a Client Experience Manager at Slang AI, you’ll own the end-to-end customer journey for our SMB clients — from onboarding through long-term success and day-to-day support. You’ll guide customers through their initial rollout, transition seamlessly into serving as their long-term success manager, and directly manage the support inbox during business hours, where many of their most important interactions occur.

Because support volume is currently low (fewer than 60 inquiries per month across 1,500+ customers), this role offers the opportunity to both deliver excellent frontline support and help design how support scales as we grow. You’ll gain unique visibility into customer needs in real time while influencing the tools, processes, and standards that will shape support as the business expands.

This unique scope means you’ll be both a strategic advisor and a hands-on partner, ensuring customers launch smoothly, adopt key features, resolve challenges quickly, and realize the full value of Slang. By owning these critical touch points, you’ll have a large sphere of influence over customer outcomes, shaping retention, adoption, and satisfaction across a significant segment of the business.

In addition, you’ll play a key role in our digital customer success program — helping define and refine automated success sequences to ensure accuracy, consistency, and strong adoption results. This work ensures customers experience the same hospitality-first service at scale, while giving you a direct impact on how Slang drives measurable results for our clients.
