- Attend client status meetings, generate and create reports.
- Be responsible for invoicing and client retention.
- Crisis manage and problem solve any issues that arise.
- Provide training to new and existing clients. Confidence and presentation skills are critical.

Requirements:
- Must want to:
- To work in a fast-paced tech “Scale-Up” environment, where at times it may be necessary to do tasks beyond the job description.
- To be rewarded for outcomes over effort.
- A non-traditional client service job. We have a hybrid team with different strengths. A little bit of sales, a whole lot of communication, the opportunity to put your creative genius to the test, while at the same time understanding and hitting performance targets.
- Must be able to:
- Learn quickly, work fast, think big, prove yourself, leave ego at the door.
- Share your passion, be energetic, solve problems on your feet and obsess over the details.
- Commit. We’re not going to sink blood, sweat, tears, time and champagne (our celebration method of choice currently) into someone who’s going to bounce when things get hard. You’re in this for 2-4 years or you’re not in it at all.
- Comfortable with technology. They serious about this. You need to love the Internet, be fluent in online platforms and understand your URL from your Excel (actually, you need to understand a lot more than that – but you get their point!)
