Customer Success Specialist (School- South Central)

The Customer Success Specialist (CSS) is a customer-facing, high-touch relationship partner responsible for ensuring the accuracy, health, and day-to-day performance of school uniform programs.

Operating within a Pod alongside the Business Development Executive (new business) and Account Growth Manager (growth & retention), the Customer Success Specialist plays a dual role:

• Supports the Account Growth Manager (AGM) on mid- and large-tier accounts, managing day-to-day communication, program updates, product questions, and operational coordination.
• Owns a defined portfolio of small schools, serving as their primary relationship and operational support partner.

This role elevates the current Sales Ops function into a proactive, externally engaged team committed to strengthening school satisfaction, improving admin and parent experience, supporting exclusive program conversions, and protecting revenue across the Pod.

The CSS does not complete internal operational tasks (logos, guides, site builds); these are owned by the centralized SOC team. The CSS ensures accuracy and communication but is not the executor.
