About I.T. Guru

I.T. Guru is a growth-focused Managed Service Provider specializing in veterinary practices across the United States. We help clinics and practices operate with confidence through secure, standardized, and proactively managed IT environments.

Our approach is grounded in IT Standards of Care, ensuring our clients are not just supported—but aligned, protected, and positioned for long-term success.


Position Overview
We are hiring a Client Success Manager (CSM) to own the health, alignment, and forward progress of a defined book of clients.

This role sits at the intersection of:
  • Client relationship management
  • Operational accountability
  • Strategic planning and communication
The CSM ensures clients are:
  • Aligned to IT Guru’s standards
  • Informed on risks and priorities
  • Moving forward with intentional decisions
This is a high-impact, client-facing role focused on ownership, communication, and follow-through.

Core Responsibilities
✅ Client Relationship Ownership
  • Serve as the primary strategic contact for assigned clients (partner)
  • Maintain deep understanding of client business, workflows, and goals
  • Ensure clients feel supported, informed, and proactively guided and educated

✅ Strategic Business Reviews (SBRs)
  • Periodic (Quarterly, Semi-Annual and Annual) client strategy meetings
  • Translate service data into meaningful business conversations
  • Deliver clear recommendations tied to risk, efficiency, and standards alignment

✅ Service Trend & Risk Management
  • Review service activity and identify recurring issues or patterns
  • Surface risks before they impact the client
  • Ensure trends are communicated and addressed with internal teams

✅ IT Standards of Care Alignment
  • Champion IT Guru’s standards across all assigned clients
  • Identify alignment gaps and areas of risk
  • Clearly communicate why recommendations matter—not just what they are

✅ Client Advocacy & Internal Coordination
  • Act as the voice of the client internally
  • Coordinate across Service Desk, Projects, and Leadership
  • Ensure issues, commitments, and priorities are not lost in day-to-day operations

✅ Project Coordination & Expectation Management
  • Communicate project timelines, priorities, and expectations to clients
  • Ensure clients understand scope, sequencing, and dependencies
  • Maintain continuity between project delivery and client communication
  • Help ensure projects remain aligned with client expectations and business priorities
(Note: Project execution and technical delivery are handled by the Project Team, but the CSM owns communication and expectation alignment.)

✅ Quoting & Project Presentation
  • Present project recommendations to clients based on identified needs
  • Communicate value, business impact, and prioritization clearly
  • Collaborate with internal technical teams on scope development
  • Support proposal refinement based on client feedback
  • Produce quotes for clients to review and sign off on
(Note: Technical scoping and solution design are performed in collaboration with engineering and project teams.)

What This Role Is NOT
  • ❌ A helpdesk or technical support role
  • ❌ A pure project manager (but does manage client expectations around projects)
  • ❌ A quota-driven sales role
  • ❌ Responsible for hands-on engineering or ticket resolution

Success Metrics
This role is measured by outcomes, not activity:
  • Reduction in repeat and preventable issues
  • Improved alignment to IT Standards of Care
  • Increased client satisfaction and retention
  • Successful communication and adoption of project recommendations
  • Clear documentation of client decisions and roadmap progress

Ideal Candidate Profile
✅ Required Skills
  • Strong communication and relationship management skills
  • Ability to translate technical concepts into business language
  • Highly organized with consistent follow-through
  • Confidence leading client meetings and structured conversations with key stakeholders
  • Ability to manage expectations across multiple clients and initiatives

✅ Experience
  • Veterinary Industry Preferred over MSP (Managed Service Provider)
  • Experience in client success, account management, or account ownership
  • Exposure to project coordination or proposal presentation
  • Comfortable discussing recommendations, priorities, and business impact

✅ Personal Traits
  • Proactive and forward-thinking
  • Calm and structured communicator
  • Comfortable discussing risk and making recommendations
  • Strong sense of ownership and accountability
  • Able to balance client advocacy with internal alignment

Why This Role Is Different

At I.T. Guru, the Client Success Manager:
  • Operates within a defined standards-based service model
  • Plays a key role in reducing reactive chaos
  • Helps clients move from support-driven to strategy-driven IT
  • Bridges the gap between technical delivery and business outcomes

Compensation & Structure
 
  • Competitive base salary + performance incentives based on experience
  • Incentives aligned to:
    • Client retention
    • Standards alignment improvements
    • Successful project adoption and execution
