Job Description

📈 Outbound Performance & Client Success Lead

Full-Time Remote | U.S. Time Zone Overlap Required

🚀 About the Role

We’re hiring an execution-focused Outbound Performance & Client Success Lead to take full ownership of client performance, retention, and outbound campaign success inside a fast-growing cold email agency.

This is not a passive account management role.

You are directly responsible for:

  • campaign performance,
  • deliverability health,
  • client retention,
  • optimization,
  • and long-term account growth.

You will manage 20–30 active client accounts while ensuring cold email campaigns are:

  • technically sound,
  • landing in inboxes,
  • generating qualified meetings,
  • and continuously improving.

If a campaign underperforms, you diagnose the issue and fix it.
If a client is at risk, you step in early and take ownership.

This role is ideal for someone who deeply understands outbound systems, deliverability, messaging, and client communication — while thriving in fast-moving startup environments.

🔥 What You’ll Own

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for 20–30 active clients
  • Lead performance-focused client calls and account reviews
  • Build strong client relationships centered around measurable outcomes
  • Monitor account health and proactively identify churn risks
  • Maintain high client retention and account satisfaction
  • Clearly explain:
    • campaign performance,
    • deliverability,
    • pipeline impact,
    • and optimization strategies
  • Set realistic expectations and align conversations around results

Cold Email Performance & Optimization

    • reply rates,
    • sender reputation,
    • and deliverability health
  • Diagnose underperforming campaigns and identify root causes
  • Improve:
    • targeting,
    • personalization,
    • messaging,
    • and conversion performance
  • Optimize cold email copy when reply or booking rates decline
  • Run structured tests to improve:
    • replies,
    • booked meetings,
    • and pipeline generation
  • Focus on real business outcomes — not vanity metrics

Systems, Documentation & Operational Scaling

  • Help improve delivery systems and operational workflows as the company scales
  • Maintain organized tracking for:
    • client health,
    • SLAs,

    • and retention trends

  • Proactively solve delivery or performance issues before escalation
  • Support long-term client growth and operational scalability

✅ Required Experience & Skills

  • Ability to write and optimize cold email copy
  • Experience using:

    • CRMs,
    • and reporting dashboards
  • Practical use of AI tools to improve outbound operations and workflows
  • Strong analytical and troubleshooting abilities
  • Clear and professional English communication skills
  • Availability during U.S. time zone overlap

⭐ Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience managing 20+ client accounts simultaneously
  • Startup or high-growth agency experience
  • Experience creating:
    • playbooks,
    • SOPs,
    • or operational systems
  • Familiarity with deliverability monitoring tools
  • Experience supporting revenue-focused outbound programs

🧠 What Makes You a Great Fit

  • You take ownership instead of waiting for direction
  • You stay calm and solution-focused under pressure
  • You understand both:
    • the technical side of cold email,
    • and the messaging side
  • You communicate confidently with founders and executives
  • You care about measurable business outcomes
