Director of Client Services — Build the Ops Engine at a Growing Automotive Agenc

Savvy Dealer · Land O' Lakes, FL, USA ·

Job type:
Full Time

Read this part first, so you self-select.

We want an operator who wants real ownership at a growing agency — not a comfortable seat at a big one. Base pay will be below market on purpose. The upside — revenue share tied to retention and ARR growth — is where the real money lives. If you want to build something and share in what you build, keep reading.

About Savvy Dealer

We work for dealers first. That's the purpose — not a tagline. We counter competitors in real‑time and solve the whole marketing problem — not just the ad buy. We're urgent with our responsiveness. We get it done.

How we work — our core values

  • Honesty
  • Clear Communication
  • Accountable
  • Team Player, Low Drama
  • Problem Solvers
  • Adaptable

The role

Run Client Services as a function. Two CSMs today carry the book. We're scaling aggressively toward a full client‑services bench. Your job: get us there without breaking the thing that's working.

You'll own

  • The CSM team (2 today, growing to 8) — hiring, coaching, performance management
  • Net revenue retention as your primary KPI
  • The client services playbook: onboarding, QBRs, escalation, save plays
  • Cross‑functional work with media ops and sales leadership
  • Partnering with the founder on pricing, packaging, and upsell motion

You are

  • 5+ years in agency ops, client success leadership, or dealership marketing ops
  • Have built or scaled a CSM / AM function before — done it, not just read about it
  • Comfortable with the risk/reward trade and with the transparency of it
  • Low drama, high accountability. You lead from the front.
  • Florida‑based, ideally

Compensation — all cards on the table

Below‑market base plus profit/revenue share tied to retention and ARR growth. Specific numbers and formulas shared on the first call so you can make an informed decision.

Location & Benefits

Florida, on‑site. PTO and flexible work environment.
