    ROLE OVERVIEW

    The Customer Success Manager (CSM) at STNDRD is not a support role.

    This is a client-facing, revenue-protecting, experience-owning position responsible for ensuring that every client who says “yes” successfully transitions into long-term momentum, trust, and results.

    You will act as:

    • The bridge between Sales and Coaching

    • The owner of the post-close experience

    • The guardian of retention, cash collection, and client confidence

    This role requires someone who understands human psychology, expectation-setting, follow-through, and emotional ownership—often found in sales, hospitality, concierge services, or high-touch client management backgrounds.

    CORE OBJECTIVE

    Ensure that every client:

    1. Feels seen, supported, and confident immediately after enrolling

    2. Successfully completes onboarding and early milestones

    3. Stays engaged long enough to experience undeniable value

    4. Converts into a retained, referable, long-term client

    KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

    Post-Close Client Onboarding (Primary Ownership)

    • Personally welcome each new client within 24 hours of close

    • Guide clients through:

      • Platform access

      • Assessments

      • Coach assignment

      • Scheduling expectations

    • Ensure no friction, confusion, or drop-off between close and execution

    • Set clear expectations around:

      • Communication cadence

      • Accountability standards

      • What success looks like in the first 30 / 60 / 90 days

    The CSM owns the emotional handoff from Sales Coaching.

    Client Relationship Management & Retention

    • Maintain consistent, proactive communication with active clients

    • Monitor:

      • Engagement levels

      • Missed check-ins

      • Sentiment shifts

    • Intervene early with:

      • Reframes

      • Clarifications

      • Expectation resets

    • Act as the client’s internal advocate while upholding STNDRD standards

    Revenue Protection & Cash Collection Support

    • Track payment plans, installment timing, and collection status

    • Follow up on:

      • Failed payments

      • Delayed remittances

      • Pending commitments

    • Communicate firmly but professionally to:

      • Reduce revenue leakage

      • Maintain trust while enforcing agreements

    • Coordinate with Sales when escalation is required

    This role is revenue-adjacent, not administrative.

    Experience Ownership (White-Glove Standard)

    • Deliver a hospitality-grade experience at every touchpoint

    • Ensure clients feel:

      • Cared for, not managed

      • Supported, not chased

      • Accountable, not pressured

    • Uphold brand tone:

      • Calm

      • Confident

      • Direct

      • Professional

    Cross-Functional Communication

    • Relay client insights to:

      • Sales (objection patterns, hesitation themes)

      • Coaches (engagement, mindset flags)

      • Leadership (system gaps, experience friction)

    • Maintain clean CRM notes and lifecycle tracking

    • Participate in weekly ops / experience reviews

    • Organized and detail-oriented

    • Escalation reduction

    • Referral readiness / testimonials initiated

    WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

    At STNDRD:

    • Sales is not the finish line

    • Coaching is not the only value driver

    • Experience is the product

    The CSM ensures that:

    • Revenue sticks

    • Clients stay

    • Results compound

    • The brand earns trust at scale

    CULTURE & EXPECTATIONS

    • High standards, low ego

    • Ownership > excuses

    If you thrive in environments where:

    • Clients matter

    • Execution matters

    • Follow-through matters

    • And your work directly impacts revenue and reputation

    This role will feel deeply aligned.
