We are now looking for a highly proactive, detail-oriented and commercially minded Client Success & Growth Manager to become a key leader within our business.

This is not a passive account management role.

We’re looking for someone who genuinely loves client relationships, thrives on communication, enjoys networking and attending events and takes real ownership of client success, retention and experience.

You’ll be the primary relationship lead for a portfolio of clients, ensuring campaigns move forward, communication remains proactive, risks are identified early, and clients feel exceptionally supported at every stage of their journey with HeartBeat Digital.

You’ll work closely with our CEO, COO, Digital Strategist, Account Management and delivery teams, while also helping shape the future of our client success systems, AI workflows and automation processes.

This role combines:

  • Client relationship management

  • Strategic communication

  • Operational coordination

You’ll be expected to:

  • Lead and manage day-to-day communication for your portfolio of clients

  • Conduct monthly and quarterly client review meetings via video calls

  • Proactively identify churn risks, client concerns and growth opportunities

  • Ensure all client communication, follow-ups and actions are documented accurately

  • Coordinate internal teams to ensure projects stay on track and clients remain informed

  • Record client meetings, maintain detailed notes and utilise transcripts to improve continuity and retention

  • Review and quality-check AI-assisted reporting commentary and client communications

  • Use AI tools and automation platforms to improve efficiency and client experience

  • Support onboarding and ensure clients feel confident, informed and excited from day one

  • Occasionally attend Melbourne-based networking events, conferences, strategy days and in-person client meetings. Interstate travel may be required on rare occasions for conferences or client visits, with ample notice provided and travel and accommodation expenses covered.

  • Help strengthen and improve our internal systems, automations and operational processes over time

Who We’re Looking For

This role will suit someone who:

  • Loves speaking with people and building long-term relationships

  • Gains energy from client interaction, networking and communication

  • Is highly organised and exceptionally detail-oriented

  • Naturally takes ownership and follows things through without needing to be chased

  • Is proactive, accountable and operationally disciplined

  • Communicates clearly, professionally and confidently

  • Is comfortable leading video calls and presenting performance insights

  • Embraces AI, automation and new technologies rather than resisting them

  • Enjoys improving systems and finding smarter ways of working

  • Understands the importance of process, documentation and visibility

  • Is commercially aware and understands the importance of client retention and growth

  • Thrives in a fast-moving agency environment where priorities can shift quickly

Essential Experience & Skills

  • 4+ years’ experience in Customer Success, Account Management, Client Services or Digital Marketing

  • Strong understanding of digital marketing fundamentals including SEO, Google Ads, Meta Ads and reporting

  • Experience managing multiple client relationships simultaneously

  • Experience using CRM/project management platforms such as ClickUp, Go High Level or similar

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

  • Strong time management and prioritisation abilities

  • High attention to detail and process adherence

  • Confidence using AI tools in day-to-day workflows

Bonus Points If You

  • Have worked in a digital marketing agency environment

  • Have experience improving workflows, operational systems or automations across platforms such as ClickUp, Slack and Go High Level

  • Have experience working with AI assistants, AI tools or automation-driven workflows

  • Enjoy networking and representing businesses publicly

  • Have experience interpreting digital marketing reports and campaign performance data

  • Have worked with healthcare or professional services clients

Employment Type & Hours

This role is flexible and may be offered on either a full-time or part-time basis (3–5 days per week), depending on the experience, capability and availability of the successful candidate, as well as the evolving needs of the business.

For the right person, we are open to structuring this role initially as a part-time position, with the opportunity to increase hours over time as the role and client portfolio grows.

Remuneration will be negotiated based on experience and scope, with salary and benefits pro-rated accordingly for part-time arrangements.

Why Join HeartBeat Digital?

  • Hybrid flexibility with a predominantly Melbourne-based team

  • Opportunity to help shape the future direction of our client success division

  • Purpose-driven clients doing meaningful work

  • Fast-growing agency with genuine career growth opportunities

  • Strong focus on innovation, AI and operational improvement

  • Collaborative and transparent culture

  • Leadership team that values initiative, ideas and accountability

  • Opportunity to attend networking events, conferences and industry functions


Please Note:

This role is heavily client-facing and communication-driven. We are specifically looking for someone who enjoys being on calls, engaging with clients regularly and building strong long-term relationships.

We are also looking for someone excited by AI, automation and operational improvement - not someone who prefers purely manual or reactive ways of working.

If you’re highly organised, commercially minded, proactive and genuinely passionate about client success, we’d love to hear from you.

Finally, attention to detail really matters to us. As a small test, please include your favourite AI or productivity tool in your application and tell us briefly why you use it.
