This role is highly client-facing, requiring you to navigate complex scenarios with diplomacy and clarity. You’ll be hands-on in developing playbooks, refining best practices, and representing the voice of our most valuable clients across the organization.

- Partner with Sales, Support, and Onboarding to ensure a seamless end-to-end client journey.
- Provide input to refine playbooks, best practices, and decision frameworks to support consistency and excellence in client engagement.
- Anticipate client needs and act as a trusted advisor, offering insights and solutions that drive business value.
- Collaborate internally to represent client feedback and influence product and process improvements.
- Deliver an exceptional experience aligned with Smith.ai’s standards, SLAs, principles, and values.
- Drive outcomes that impact client retention, lifetime value, referrals, and satisfaction.
What Sets You Apart
- 3+ years of experience in client success, account management, or customer-facing roles, preferably in SaaS or with technical products/services.
- Demonstrated success managing high-value accounts and driving measurable outcomes (retention, expansion, revenue growth).
- Exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to influence and resolve complex situations.
- Proficiency with client services tools for monitoring, tracking, and analyzing client sentiment and performance.
- Nice to have: Experience with Vitally.io, Freshdesk and Click Up.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Fully remote team—you can work from anywhere in the U.S.
- Competitive compensation ($70k–$90K depending on experience), plus equity.
- Robust benefits package including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), life insurance, and unlimited FTO.
- Work with passionate, kind, and driven teammates across the globe.
- A mission that matters: Helping small businesses succeed in an AI-powered world.
We’re committed to building a team that reflects the world we live in. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and walks of life. Discrimination has no place here.
