This role will work hand in hand with our Senior Client Success Managers to support our major clients by focusing on the operational needs of our enrolled learners.

The primary task will be to drive an exceptional operational experience for clients by working to resolve learner challenges in a timely manner.

They will identify learner escalation trends, surface feedback to all parties, and represent the learner perspective internally to enhance InStride’s internal processes keeping client satisfaction top of mind.
