Senior Customer Experience Manager

About the Role: The Senior Customer Experience Manager (Sr. CXM) is Artera's single point of accountability for a book of Specialty, Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and Community Health Center (CHC) accounts. This is an end-to-end relationship role: you own the customer from pre-close introduction through implementation, go-live, ongoing engagement, renewal, and expansion. You won't execute every task but you're accountable for every date, including the work other teams touch. This role sits within Artera's newly unified Customer Experience Management function, which combines our former Customer Success Management and Project Management teams into one accountable owner per account. You'll run implementations, drive adoption, monitor account health, and quarterback expansion conversations alongside your counterparts from sales, configuration and development. You'll do this across roughly 5060 FQHC and CHC accounts a high-volume book where every account has C-suite exposure and where staying ahead of health signals is the difference between renewal and quiet churn.

Responsibilities: Own the customer relationship end-to-end. Serve as the primary and accountable point of contact for ~5060 FQHC and CHC accounts, from pre-close introduction through implementation, adoption, renewal, and expansion. Run implementations and post-implementation delivery. Manage project plans, timelines, and dependencies across the book. Coordinate with internal delivery and support functions on work you don't execute directly and stay accountable to the customer for every date. Missed internal SLAs are surfaced to internal leadership, not to the customer. Build C-suite credibility. Present outcomes, ROI, and workflow impact directly to CEOs, CFOs, CMOs, and operational leadership. Adapt data and messaging to the audience ROI and outcomes for the C-suite, workflow impact for operations, integrations and performance for IT. Drive value realization. Move accounts from "nice to have" to "must have" through consultative engagement on patient access, workflow, and outcomes. Build and deliver data-driven executive business reviews that quantify ROI, connect results to customer goals, and open the door to expansion conversations and reference-ability. Manage churn proactively. Small FQHCs don't escalate when they're unhappy they quietly don't renew. Build a system for monitoring health signals across a high-volume book and act before flags become churns. Partner with sales on renewal and expansion. Work closely with AE counterparts to identify expansion opportunities, build the business case, and support the customer through the sales cycle. Operate as the escalation ceiling. Customers should not need to escalate above this role except in exceptional cases. Use AI in your daily work. Draft outreach, prep for calls, summarize meetings, manage follow-ups, and stay ahead of a 50+ account book by embedding AI tools in your daily workflow. This role is not sustainable without it. Travel to your customers. Roughly 25% travel, including on-site business reviews, go-lives, and executive meetings.

What Success Looks Like: You'll be joining meetings and owning accounts within the first few weeks not the first 90 days.
