Job description

Client Success Manager

Lyra Technology Group is a private equity-backed holding company that invests in and operates industry leading technology service businesses. Our companies are operated independently by exceptional management teams. Companies that join our group retain the employees, name, and culture that have made them successful. As a platform of Evergreen Services Group, we never divest from businesses we partner with and approach every decision with the goal of driving sustainable and healthy growth over the long term.

Lyra Technology Group is seeking a Client Success Manager for one of our operating companies, Strategic Micro Systems. The Client Success Manager is the post‑sale owner of client relationships, retention, and account growth: the person clients turn to when they want a trusted partner in their technology decisions, not just a point of contact. This role blends relationship management with a working knowledge of the client's business and IT environment, running a disciplined cadence of business reviews and roadmap conversations that keep clients engaged, informed, and getting full value from the partnership. The Client Success Manager owns retention and expansion targets for an assigned book of business and works cross‑functionally with service delivery, technical support, and sales to make sure client needs are met and expansion opportunities are identified early.
