Success Manager

Success Manager (Client Success, Cold Email & Startup Operations) – Remote
Position Type: Full-Time, Remote
Working Hours: Flexible, with client meetings across U.S. time zones
About the Role
At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring a Success Manager to own the entire post-sale client experience—from onboarding and campaign execution to client retention, satisfaction, and long-term success.
This is not a project management role.
You’ll be fully accountable for client outcomes, campaign performance, and delivery quality while working in a fast-moving startup environment where priorities evolve quickly and ownership is expected.
You’ll partner closely with the founder, developers, and outreach team to ensure cold email campaigns consistently deliver results while building scalable client success processes as the company grows.
If you thrive in startups, enjoy solving complex client challenges, and understand both the strategic and technical side of cold email operations, this role is an excellent fit.
