ROLE OVERVIEW
The Customer Success Manager (CSM) at STNDRD is not a support role.
This is a client-facing, revenue-protecting, experience-owning position responsible for ensuring that every client who says “yes” successfully transitions into long-term momentum, trust, and results.
You will act as:
The bridge between Sales and Coaching
The owner of the post-close experience
The guardian of retention, cash collection, and client confidence
This role requires someone who understands human psychology, expectation-setting, follow-through, and emotional ownership—often found in sales, hospitality, concierge services, or high-touch client management backgrounds.
