As our client base grows, we're looking for a highly articulate, autonomous Account Manager / Client Operations Specialist to act as a key operational leader and right-hand to the Founder.

This is a high-touch, client-facing role. You will own client interactions, host live strategy reviews via video, track broker performance, and maintain account health across all client partnerships.

3. Pipeline & Operations Management

Update client back-end dashboards with broker feedback, sample tracking statuses, retail submission updates, and buyer responses
Maintain accurate and up-to-date records across all active accounts

4. Intake & Discovery Support

6. Executive Support

Support the Founder with calendar scheduling, client follow-up communications, and account delivery workflows

BPO / Customer Service Experience: 5+ years in BPO or contact center environments supporting US-based clients or brands — in roles such as Account Manager, Client Success Specialist, Customer Operations Lead, Tier-3 Customer Support, or Escalations Specialist
English Fluency: Excellent spoken and written English with strong presentation confidence; neutral or US-style accent required
Autonomy: Ability to absorb unstructured verbal directions, translate meeting notes into immediate execution, and work independently without micromanagement
Technical Aptitude: Comfortable navigating web applications, client dashboards, database interfaces (e.g., Supabase, Airtable, CRMs), and project management tools
Professional Presence: Confident running live 1-on-1 and team video calls with US brand founders; able to manage expectations empathetically and professionally
Bonus: Experience in CPG, e-commerce support, or retail consulting operations; familiarity with AI-assisted research tools, data visualization platforms, or reporting dashboards
