Demonstrated history of successfully providing white-glove services and managing clients, with experience serving Law firms or other professional service industries. Exceptional project management, organizational, and strategic problem-solving skills to navigate complex change management during migrations. High EQ and strong communication skills with the ability to manage change resistance and gain executive buy-in across customer program administrators and stakeholders. Drive for results, client-focused mindset, and high attention to detail. Bachelor’s degree preferred or similar professional experience.
