Client Success Manager

In a Nutshell

Valve+Meter is seeking a passionate, strategic, and relentlessly driven Client Success Manager to join our growing team. This is not a basic account management role. This is a client leadership role for someone who knows how to build trust, lead performance conversations, uncover growth opportunities, and ensure marketing investments produce measurable business outcomes.

As a Client Success Manager, you will be the primary strategic partner for a portfolio of valued clients. You will guide their marketing strategy, advocate for their success internally, and help connect performance marketing efforts to broader business goals such as lead generation, revenue growth, customer acquisition cost, brand differentiation, and long-term retention.

You will collaborate with internal experts across SEO, paid media, analytics, creative, development, strategy, and operations to ensure each client has a clear path forward. Your goal is to become a trusted advisor who brings insight, accountability, and action to every client relationship.

Why This Role Is Important

At Valve+Meter, we believe marketing should be measured by the flow and cost of new business. The “valve” represents the rate of new business we help generate, and the “meter” represents the measurable results we deliver.

We believe great marketing should not be based on guesswork. It should be connected to strategy, accountability, and results.

The Client Success Manager is the bridge between client goals, strategy, and execution. You help clients feel heard, informed, challenged, and supported, guiding smarter decisions and investments that move their business forward.

What You’ll Own

You will own the health, growth, retention, and strategic direction of your client portfolio.

This includes building strong relationships, leading meaningful performance conversations, identifying growth opportunities, and ensuring internal alignment around client goals.

You will help clients understand not just what happened in their marketing performance, but why it happened, what it means, and what should happen next.
