Senior Manager, Client Services
Yext puts business on the map. The Yext Knowledge Engine™ lets companies manage their digital knowledge in the cloud and sync it to over 100 services in the PowerListings® Network. Yext Listings, Pages, and Reviews help businesses around the globe facilitate face-to-face and digital interactions that boost brand awareness, drive foot traffic, and increase sales.
As a Senior Manager, Client Services, for the Enterprise Client Services Tier 3 and Mid-Market teams, you will lead a team of Account Managers (AM). You will be challenged both to manage the team’s large book of diverse clients, but also focus on designing new processes to equip this volume team for scale and encourage clients to self-serve. Each of your Account Managers carries a high account load and, as such, encouraging good time management and prioritization skills is key. Fewer touchpoints with clients mean that every interaction is valuable. You will be responsible for managing your team's clients with a focus on adoption and success by providing governance advice, usage/adoption recommendations, risk identification and mitigation. You will also be tasked with using new technology to innovate ways for this junior team to service their accounts at scale as our organization transforms. The end result should result in improved efficiency for AMs, customer satisfaction (NPS), retention and expansion of the Yext footprint. As a trusted advisor and people leader, you are the post-sales success leader for your team.
