Client Strategist / Client Success Manager
Job Description
Strategy & Campaign Direction
Own the full-funnel marketing strategy for each client: lead generation ads, retargeting, CRM automation, and follow-up sequences
Set creative direction — determine what video and image assets should communicate, which angles to test, and what messaging to prioritize
Review campaign performance data across paid advertising and SEO, identify what is working and what is not, and adjust the plan accordingly
Translate marketing analytics into clear, actionable insights that business owners can understand without jargon
Hand off tactical execution to the fulfillment team while maintaining strategic oversight of all deliverables
Client Relationship Management
Serve as the primary point of contact for a portfolio of approximately 30 client accounts
Lead weekly or biweekly strategy calls with clients — own the conversation, set the frame, present results clearly, and recommend next steps
Keep clients updated proactively via calls, text, and personalized reporting — do not wait for them to reach out
Build genuine trust and rapport with business owners through direct, peer-level communication
Proactively address concerns before they escalate and hold the relationship together when results fluctuate
Retention, Growth & Advocacy
Own client satisfaction, retention, and long-term account health
Identify upsell and expansion opportunities based on client goals and performance trends
Collect testimonials, referrals, and reviews through strong relationship management
Coordinate with the fulfillment team to ensure deliverables are completed on time and meet quality standards
Requirements
2–4+ years of experience in client strategy, account management, or customer success — preferably in a digital marketing agency environment
Hands-on experience with paid advertising (Facebook Ads, Google Ads) and SEO — you can read dashboards, diagnose underperformance, and speak to strategy with confidence
Strong verbal communication and commanding presence on the phone — this role lives and dies on live conversations, not just emails and messages
Strategic thinker with the confidence to set a plan, defend it, and adjust when the data says otherwise
Calm and steady in hard conversations — when results dip or a client pushes back, you hold frame, direct the call, and keep the relationship intact
Previous sales experience or a sales-driven mindset — this is partially a sales role where you are selling the client on a long-term relationship with you
Proactive, high-drive personality — you reach out before the client has to, and you never assume silence means satisfaction
Proficiency with CRM platforms, project management tools, and team communication tools
Nice to Have
Experience managing marketing funnels end-to-end (ad creative landing page CRM flow follow-up)
Familiarity with marketing automation platforms and lead management systems
Experience in an agency setting managing 15–30+ client accounts simultaneously
Background working with or selling to small business owners
Experience in industries where clients are direct, high-expectation, and results-focused
Benefits
Base Salary: $60,000/year
Performance Bonuses: Based on client retention, satisfaction, and growth — total comp ranges from $75,000 to $85,000/year
Fully remote work environment
Direct access to leadership and agency growth trajectory
Important Notes
This role is for someone who wants to own outcomes, not manage tasks. You will be the person your clients trust to grow their business — and you will have the autonomy and support to do exactly that.
If you understand how paid marketing actually works, can build trust with business owners through real conversations, and have the confidence to own a strategy end-to-end, we want to hear from you.
