Customer Operations

Location:

Remote

Reports To:

Head of Commercial Operations

ROLE OVERVIEW

The Senior Client Success Manager is a commercially-minded, strategically-driven role at the heart of Appointedd’s enterprise growth engine. This is not a reactive support function — it is a proactive revenue role. The Senior CSM owns a portfolio of high-value enterprise accounts and is directly accountable for net revenue retention, expansion pipeline, and the long-term commercial success of each relationship. You will operate as a trusted strategic advisor to senior client stakeholders, identifying and closing growth opportunities, orchestrating internal resources, and positioning Appointedd as an indispensable part of each client’s commercial infrastructure.

• Partner with Client Partners to progress commercial conversations and co-own deal strategy

• Act as the voice of the customer internally — translating client feedback into structured product insight
• Maintain a closed feedback loop with the Product team and communicate roadmap progress back to clients
• Champion product releases and drive adoption of new features within your accounts
