Customer Success Manager – Managed Services

• Position: Customer Success Manager – Managed Services
• Position Type: Full-Time Exempt, Salaried Employee
• Location: Remote, Florida
• Working Hours: 8:00am-5:00pm ET (1 hour lunch)

We are a growing Managed Service Provider (MSP) focused on delivering proactive IT solutions and exceptional client experiences. As we continue to scale, we are seeking a highly organized, proactive, and client-focused professional to strengthen the customer experience across our Managed Services accounts.

The Customer Success Manager (CSM) owns the operational customer experience and client lifecycle, ensuring consistent communication, coordination, and follow-through from new-client onboarding throughout the ongoing client relationship.

The CSM works closely with the vCIO/Account Owner, Service Delivery, Help Desk, Project Services, Sales, Finance, and other internal teams to ensure client commitments are tracked, risks are identified, information remains current, and clients receive a consistent and well-coordinated experience.

This is an ownership and follow-through role. The CSM is not expected to personally perform technical work, manage technology strategy, or sell solutions. Instead, they maintain visibility across the relationship, ensure the right people are engaged, drive appropriate next steps, and keep the client informed.
