Outbound Performance & Client Success Lead

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

• 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

• 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,
• campaign performance,
• and retention
• Build practical internal documentation and playbooks
• Use AI tools and automation to improve:
• reporting,
• workflow efficiency,
• and operational consistency
• Bring structure and clarity to fast-moving startup systems

Founder Collaboration & Strategic Oversight

• Work directly with the founder and outreach team
• Provide clear updates on:

• Hands-on experience improving underperforming outbound campaigns

• Experience creating:

• Familiarity with deliverability monitoring tools
• Experience supporting revenue-focused outbound programs

🧠 What Makes You a Great Fit

• 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
• You thrive in fast-paced startup environments with evolving systems
