Chief Client Officer

Full-time

About Primerli

Primerli was built by management consultants to solve a familiar problem: how to quickly earn credibility with clients when you are brand new to their industry. We created a way to learn a new domain in under an hour (Think the “I know kung fu” scene from The Matrix, but for business). Our Primers became an instant hit in consulting, but that was just the beginning.

We soon realized this problem wasn’t unique to consultants: professionals of all types face a similar challenge. If you cannot speak your client's or customer’s language, you cannot connect. As business gets more complex, it’s become a modern Tower of Babel. Every different business domain has its own language. To build rapport and have a meaningful impact, you need a way in. 

Companies spend millions of dollars a year trying to solve this problem, hiring subject matter experts, assembling learning content libraries, and developing live training. But it’s not working. Only 15% of e-learning courses are completed. Most e-learning content is dull, dense, and not targeted to what users need. The result is that the sales and consulting professionals are still forced to fake it, operating blind with only a surface-level understanding. 

That’s where Primerli comes in. Our one-hour primers help professionals quickly understand the essentials of any business domain, so they can show up credible, confident, and ready to engage.

And we do it entirely differently. We build learning like a media company, not an e-learning company. Our content is designed around clarity, storytelling, and even humor. And our users notice: we see 90%+ voluntary completion rates and get rave reviews.

Today, Primerli is used by almost all major consulting firms and leading tech firms, with over 2 million professionals having access globally. Get a feel for it yourself – check out our sample videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@primerli

About the Role

Primerli partners with some of the largest companies in the consulting and technology space. In every relationship—whether as a vendor or as a strategic partner—we start from a simple question: where can we add the most value?

The Chief Client Officer will own that mandate. 

Your primary objective will be to discover and implement strategies that help our clients get more value from Primerli, expand our relationships across their organizations, and deepen our knowledge of how our products can best be used to solve business challenges. 

This is a highly strategic role that sits at the intersection of customer success, product strategy, and go-to-market execution. The insights you generate will directly influence what we build, how we position it, and how we grow.

Your responsibilities will span a mix of strategy and hands-on execution, including:

  • Drive client value: Design and execute strategies that improve how Primerli’s products are deployed, ensuring clients extract maximum impact from their industry learning programs.
  • Deepen our client relationships: Build and manage deep relationships with multiple executive stakeholders across client organizations, proactively uncovering new opportunities for partnership and growth.
  • Lead thought leadership & community: Shape and share best practices on using industry learning to solve business problems, while building a client community (e.g., roundtables, peer exchanges) that fosters knowledge sharing.
  • Run customer success operations: Own core processes such as reporting, QBRs, new primer launches, and other business-as-usual activities that keep accounts healthy and informed.
  • Drive account growth: Partner with leadership to meet measurable growth targets including achieving at least 10% NRR per year

Primerli is an early-stage, high-growth startup, making this role very entrepreneurial and different from your typical corporate job in a few ways:

  • Do-it-all mindset:  We constantly move between strategy and execution modes and often roll up our sleeves to solve whatever problems come our way.    
  • Dynamic scope: Being an early-stage startup means the responsibilities of a role will change on a daily basis: in 6 months, you’ll be writing your new job description! 
  • Equity compensation: As an early team member, a significant portion of your compensation will be equity, so this role is a good fit for people interested in this type of risk-reward profile 

While the company is based in California, you will be working remotely with a global team and reporting directly to the CEO.

What we’re looking for

Values & Attitude

  • Strong values: You care about others, not just yourself, and you see competitiveness as complementary, not a barrier, to showing compassion, kindness, and empathy.
  • Entrepreneurial drive: You constantly challenge the status quo, come up with better ways to do things, and take extreme ownership of your work. You are highly comfortable with ambiguity.
  • Growth mindset: You value personal growth and helping others grow by giving and receiving transparent feedback.
  • Get-stuff-done attitude: You are energized by action, can balance priorities, and can manage timelines. You have good judgment for when it’s time to be fast and scrappy and when it’s time to slow down and get things right.

Experience & Skills

  • Consulting experience: 5-10 years of management consulting experience from one of the top consulting firms
  • Startup experience: At least one year of experience in a startup or high-growth environment
  • GTM experience: Proven track record within a GTM function such as business development, partnerships, marketing or customer success
  • Relationship skills: Expertise in identifying, nurturing, and maintaining long-term relationships with enterprise clients, industry leaders, or other senior stakeholders.
