The CS M will be responsible for cultivating and maintaining strong relationships with a portfolio of clients, both existing and new, ensuring successful day-to-day delivery and long-term value from our products and services. This is a highly hands-on role that blends proactive planning with daily execution, requiring strong follow-through, attention to detail, and ownership of client needs.

You will manage timelines, coordinate deliverables across internal teams, resolve issues as they arise, and ensure commitments are met. In parallel, you will work closely with clients and their brokers/consultants as a trusted advisor, using data and insights to identify trends, improve engagement, and drive better outcomes.

You will develop and execute account plans, deliver business reviews, support client escalations, and drive customer satisfaction, retention, and growth. This role is best suited for someone who thrives in both tactical execution and proactive problem-solving — someone who enjoys owning details, managing workflows, and driving outcomes, while also thinking ahead to anticipate client needs and prevent issues before they arise.

• Ensure company and client objectives are met by owning execution of agreed-upon action items, maintaining alignment across stakeholders, and following through on commitments.
• Partner with Client Executives to maximize retention and identify churn risks, as well as upsell and expansion opportunities.
• Maintain accurate data input and hygiene in the customer relationship management system for all assigned clients.
• Own service issue resolution end-to-end by investigating root causes, documenting findings, coordinating solutions across teams, and implementing improvements to prevent recurrence.
• Operate effectively in a high-volume environment, balancing proactive planning with frequent client requests, follow-ups and shifting priorities

• Exceptional project management skills, including clear goal identification, effective action-step management, and ongoing tracking of accomplishments and opportunities
• Excellent time and task management while maintaining a solution-oriented mindset to deliver accurate, intentional, and timely outcomes for clients.
• A demonstrated ability to execute against plans — not just create them — with strong follow-through and accountability.
• Comfort being "in the weeds" while still maintaining a forward-looking, proactive mindset.
