Client Support Manager
Location: Remote
Job Type: Full-Time, Exempt
Department: Service Delivery — Client Support
Reports To: Regional Vice President of Service Delivery
About the Role
The Client Support Manager (CSM) provides day-to-day operational leadership of an assigned Client Support team. This role is accountable for service delivery performance, including SLA attainment, ticket lifecycle health, team performance and development, client satisfaction, and consistency of the client experience.
This is not a senior technical role. Success in this position requires strong analytical thinking, process discipline, metrics-driven decision-making, and high emotional intelligence. The CSM enforces standards, develops people, and creates the conditions for the technical team to deliver.
Operational Mission: Turn reactive tickets into predictable outcomes. Own the desk, own the standards, and build a team that solves problems right the first time without unnecessary escalation or burnout.
