About The Position

We are seeking a strategic, execution-driven, and process-obsessed Manager of Client Success to lead and elevate our Client Success team. Reporting to the SVP of Client Success & Partnerships, this role is responsible for translating high-level Client Success strategy into consistent, measurable execution across the team.

The ideal candidate is both a strong people leader and a rigorous operator who thrives in fast-paced, high-growth environments. If you excel at driving accountability, building scalable frameworks, and elevating team capability, this role offers the opportunity to build and shape a high-performing Client Success team.
