Who are we looking for? 

BrightLink is looking for a Client Success Specialist to sit at the intersection of client relationships and internal delivery. This is a hands-on role that owns both the operational coordination of client projects and the ongoing health of a defined portfolio of accounts. You’ll be the person keeping both launches and project work on track, while keeping both internal and external teams informed.

This is not a support role. You’re expected to drive things forward, surface risk early, and make sure every client in your portfolio feels like they have a true partner — not just a vendor.

What You'll Do

Launch Coordination

New client launches are high-stakes moments — and you'll own the coordination from kickoff through go-live. That means driving the process, not just tracking it.

• Facilitate kickoff meetings and maintain the launch plan as a living document
• Own the meeting cadence: calendar, agendas, and recaps
• Keep a shared timeline that both internal teams and clients can trust
• Make sure every stakeholder — on both sides — knows what they own and when
• Stay close through go-live and into post-launch stabilization

Project Work

You'll coordinate project work from the first discovery conversation through SOW sign-off and into delivery.

• Join discovery calls with clients and help shape requirements into clear, actionable scopes
• Partner with internal teams on SOW development; catch scope gaps before they become delivery problems
• Keep approved SOWs tracked and prioritized — nothing falls through the cracks
• Monitor what's in flight across your accounts: know what's at risk, what's on track, and what's approaching a billing milestone
• Coordinate UAT: schedule demos, collect feedback, and confirm acceptance criteria is met
• Notice patterns across projects and bring them forward as potential product or process improvements

Release & Product Communications

When we ship something new, your clients should hear it from you — in plain language, with context that's relevant to them.

• Stay ahead of upcoming releases and deployment schedules
• Translate release notes into client-appropriate communications; not everyone needs everything
• Be the first line of response for client questions post-release and escalate issues without delay
