Client Experience Manager - SMB

Company Summary Slang AI is redefining customer engagement through conversational AI, making every interaction seamless and efficient. Our mission is to transform the restaurant industry by providing the ultimate voice AI solution for consistently outstanding customer experiences. At Slang AI, we foster a culture of innovation, inclusivity, and growth, ensuring that every "Slangsta" (employee) feels valued and connected to our broader AI driven impact. What Your Experience Will Be 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. Why You Belong Here & How You Will Grow At Slang, we believe success starts with great execution and great service. In this role, you’ll gain valuable experience managing full customer lifecycles and working with hospitality operators in a fast-paced environment. You’ll learn how to onboard, support, and grow a book of business with autonomy, while contributing to scalable processes that improve outcomes across the team. We offer training, feedback, and growth opportunities to help you level up in customer success, technical product fluency, and strategic account management.

Our Vision Calling a business shouldn’t feel like a robot-hostage situation, where you’re forced to listen to horrible music and can\'t reach a human, while enduring a soulless voice uttering "I\'m sorry I didn\'t quite get that" on repeat for eternity. That’s why we started Slang.ai. We use the latest AI and audio wizardry to make transacting via voice so enjoyable it’s more human than human. By 2030, we will save businesses and consumers 1 billion minutes of precious time while transforming voice channels into the preferred mode of communication. We have backgrounds building product at companies like Spotify, Buzzfeed, the New York Times, and OpenTable —shipping experiences that have reached hundreds of millions of users. Now, we’re using our backgrounds to start a new culture, one that puts product and human-centered design above all else while fostering constant learning and growth. Sound like something you’d like to be part of? Get on board. Our Values Overachiever Fever. We’re overachievers (we don’t know any other way) Learner Fervor.
