Job description

The Client Success Coordinator is the engine that keeps our client relationships running at full speed. You’ll be the first line of communication for our clients - making sure meetings are tight, follow-ups get done, and issues are handled before they become problems. You’ll support onboarding, reporting, and QBR prep, while keeping a sharp eye on client health signals like churn risks and upsell opportunities.

This is a hands-on role where organization, communication, and hustle matter most. If you’re hungry to grow, this role is your launchpad into a career in Client Success and account leadership.

Key Responsibilities

• Client Communications: Own the day-to-day flow of client communications - scheduling meetings, drafting call recaps, taking call notes, logging follow-ups, and tracking action items to ensure accountability.

• Meeting Cadence: Support recurring client calls by preparing agendas, documenting key takeaways, and ensuring timely follow-up.

• Ticket & Issue Management: Monitor inbound client requests, triage tickets, track SLAs, and escalate issues to senior team members when needed.

• Onboarding Support: Execute onboarding checklists and playbooks for new clients; maintain and update knowledge base resources.

• QBR & Reporting Support: Assist in quarterly business review (QBR) prep by pulling usage and performance data, updating client health scores, and flagging churn-risk signals.

• Client Feedback: Coordinate NPS/CSAT surveys, track responses, and surface insights to the Client Success Manager/Director.

• Reporting & Handoffs: Generate usage/adoption reports, highlight renewal/expansion opportunities, and ensure clean pipeline handoffs to Client Success Director + channel teams.

• Project Management: Manage tasks, timelines, and dependencies in ClickUp to support client deliverables.
  
  

What Success Looks Like

• Meetings and follow-ups are timely, organized, and action items are tracked to completion.

• Client requests are routed quickly, SLAs are met, and escalations are flagged with context.

• Onboarding processes run smoothly, with accurate documentation and updated resources.

• QBR decks, reports, and health metrics are prepped on time and ready for review.

• Client sentiment (NPS) is tracked consistently and surfaced to leadership.

• Internal teams have clean, accurate reporting and handoffs.

• Our Client Success Director is freed up from day-to-day tasks to focus on strategic, long-term projects

Qualifications

• 1–2 years of professional experience in a client-facing, project coordination, or support role (digital marketing agency experience a plus).

• Excellent communication and organization skills.

• Strong attention to detail and follow-through.

• Comfort with project management and communication tools (ClickUp, Slack, Loom)

• Analytical mindset; comfortable pulling reports and spotting patterns in data.

• Proactive and resourceful; able to balance multiple client needs with internal priorities.
  

You Might Be a Fit If You Are...

• A strategic operator who’s led client-facing teams in an agency or consulting environment.

• An expert communicator who can build trust, navigate conflict, and inspire both clients and internal teams.

• Motivated by ownership. You don’t wait for permission to make things better - you take the reins and execute with confidence.
