Client Success Advisor

POSITION SUMMARY

Responsible for both the customer service experience and member retention efforts for the organization, the Client Success Advisor (CSA) seeks to ensure a World class service experience for all the constituents of the Vistage-inspired community. Based in our San Diego headquarters, this role will support our Vistage UK entity, functioning as the designated single point of contact for our UK Chairs and membership base.

Below, you will find a complete breakdown of everything required of potential candidates, as well as how to apply Good luck.

In addition to the essential duty of supporting Chairs, the CSA will also be measured on his/ her ability to re-engage those active members who are seeking membership alternatives and directing them accordingly, so a similar past work experience of applying empathetic, active listening skills with conflict resolution to address member 'pain points' while providing alternative solutions in order to keep the member satisfied, is critical.

This position requires regular phone/email conversations with C-level clientele, including internal staff, so it requires considerable tact, discretion and persuasion in order to obtain willing action and consent from those involved. A keen understanding of the audience being supported, coupled with the ability to build and maintain significant and enduring business relationships is a must to be successful in this high impact role.
