[Hiring] Senior Team Lead, Client Success @Pivotal Health

Role Description

We’re scaling our Client Success organization with dedicated pods aligned to customer segments and strategic partnerships, and hiring leaders to own and operate these pods. This role will take ownership of a Client Success pod; leading a team of CSMs and managing a defined book of business. You’ll be responsible for performance across your pod, including client outcomes, retention, and expansion.

You’ll work closely with strategic and enterprise customers, including our most complex accounts, and serve as a key escalation point for both clients and internal teams. This role requires strong judgement, clear communication, and the ability to operate calmly under pressure. This is a player/coach role. You’ll lead a team while staying close to the work; managing key relationships, supporting complex situations, and helping scale how we operate as we grow into segments like health systems.

What You’ll Do

• Own a Client Success pod:
• Lead a team of CSMs and drive performance across a defined portfolio of accounts; retention, expansion and overall client health.
• Act as an escalation point:
• Step into complex client situations and ensure issues are resolved quickly and effectively.
• Own the voice of the customer:
• Synthesize feedback, patterns, and friction points across your accounts and translate that into clear insights for Product, Operations, and Sales.
• Manage and develop a team:
• Coach CSMs on account ownership, communication, and execution, helping the team operate with greater independence and confidence.
• Build and scale how we operate:
• Develop playbooks, glossaries, and shared frameworks so the team isn’t reinventing the wheel — creating consistency across how we manage and grow accounts.
• Drive account growth and engagement:
• Lead strategic account planning, QBRs, and ongoing engagement across your portfolio while partnering closely with Sales to identify and advance expansion opportunities.
• Drive consistency:
• Define what “good” looks like across account management, communication, and follow-through — and ensure the team operates against it.
• Own portfolio strategy:
• Ensure account coverage, prioritization, and focus align to account size, complexity, and growth opportunity.
• Influence the business:
• Work closely with Sales, Product, and Operations to ensure customer needs are reflected in how we build and deliver.
