**Job Summary**

The Client Success Manager (CSM) position is pivotal in the delivery of services to a portfolio of Equinix clients. The CSM drives collaboration with client and internal cross functional teams to manage client implementations and meet client requirements timely and efficiently. The CSM also owns and manages a very broad range of account and service related client questions, requests, and issues to resolution.

The CSM manages the on-going customer service relationship and serves as the primary point of contact through the client lifecycle. The CSM is the client advocate, responsible for the overall satisfaction of clients. The CSM may also provide guidance and mentoring to newer, less experienced CSMs.

The portfolio of customer for the CSM position is generally smaller in scope/complexity and global involvement is infrequent. The CSM is expected to work independently on most standard customer requests and issues. Due to the limited scope/complexity of the portfolio, complex or non-standard requests and projects are not common and may require management guidance.
