Position Summary:

Penn Foster Group is seeking an experienced, energetic, and client-focused professional to join our Client Success team as a Client Success Manager (Multi-Vertical). This dynamic role will support and grow a diverse portfolio of clients across key verticals such as high school, healthcare, skilled trades, and others. The CSM will play a critical role in ensuring client satisfaction and success by empowering partners to support their learners’ journeys, maximizing the lifetime value of our partnerships, and building long-term, strategic client relationships.

This role is part of the Enterprise Solutions (ES) division, which delivers Penn Foster Group’s industry-leading education and training programs through strategic partnerships.

Success in this role will be driven by retention, client engagement, and growth goals, supported by a collaborative and mission-driven team.

Penn Foster Group is dedicated to equipping individuals with the skills they need to grow their careers and improve their lives.

• Outcome Optimization: Identify, measure, and track both learner and organizational outcomes; leverage data to drive continuous program improvement and client success.
• Client Advocacy: Represent the voice of the client internally by providing actionable feedback to internal teams and helping shape the roadmap for future product and service improvements.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with internal stakeholders (Sales, Marketing, Product, Academics, Student Support) to deliver a cohesive and impactful client experience.
• Business Reviews: Lead regular business reviews with client stakeholders to showcase value, discuss results, and identify expansion opportunities.
• Issue Resolution: Proactively identify, troubleshoot, and resolve client concerns while maintaining transparency and trust.
• Strategic Growth: Identify opportunities for account growth and partner expansion by developing relationships with key decision-makers and understanding their evolving needs.
• Project Leadership: Manage initiatives or lead small cross-functional teams to ensure delivery aligns with client goals and internal priorities.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:

• Multi-Industry Fluency: Strong preference for experience serving a variety of verticals (e.g., healthcare, education, skilled trades, workforce development). Ability to tailor strategies and communication to suit different industries and client personas.
• Relationship Management: Build trusted partnerships with stakeholders at all levels, from program administrators to C-suite decision-makers.
• Strategic Communication: Clearly convey program outcomes, opportunities, and data-driven recommendations through compelling presentations and storytelling.
• Analytical Insight: Use data to inform decision-making, demonstrate ROI, and recommend program enhancements.
• Adaptability: Confidently manage multiple client types, project scopes, and vertical-specific needs in a fast-paced environment.
• Project & Time Management: Juggle multiple priorities and projects effectively, delivering high-quality outcomes on time and within scope.
• Collaborative Leadership: Influence outcomes across teams and with clients even without direct authority.
• Continuous Learner: Embrace feedback and industry trends with a growth mindset and a drive to constantly improve.

Qualifications:

• Experience: 5+ years in client success, account management, partnerships, or a related field. Experience working with clients in at least one of the following areas is highly preferred: healthcare, education, skilled trades, social purpose, workforce development.
• Track Record: Proven ability to manage complex client relationships and drive engagement, renewals, and account growth.
