Client Success Manager - Remote - US Based
About the Role
The Client Success Manager (CSM) plays a critical role in driving client retention and revenue growth at Elevate Teams. This role owns key client relationships end-to-end, proactively managing satisfaction, resolving escalations, and leading expansion through strategic upselling and tailored proposals.

We expect people who take ownership, anticipate challenges, and bring solutions, not problems, to every conversation. Everything we do is rooted in our core values: Be Great, Good Vibes, Curious, Poised, Defender, and Extreme Ownership. We move fast, think strategically, and always have our clients’ and teammates’ backs.
