ABOUT THE COMPANY
METEOR is a talent solutions company that helps ambitious businesses in the U.S. and Canada find and hire top-tier Virtual Assistants and Executive Assistants from Latin America—especially Guatemala. By combining a world-class recruiting system with a built-in Employer of Record (EOR) structure, METEOR makes it easy for companies to access reliable, long-term remote talent without the overhead of hiring locally. METEOR’s mission is to connect great people with great companies so that both can go further—regardless of location. With a long-term vision of placing 1,000 assistants in high-quality remote jobs by 2030, METEOR is building a future where distance is no barrier to opportunity or excellence.
ABOUT THE ROLE
This role exists because growth without retention is wasted growth. As we scale, the most important thing we can do is ensure our clients are set up for success—and stay with us for the long haul. The Customer Success Lead will build and own the entire Customer Success function at METEOR. This includes onboarding, account management, retention, expansion, and ongoing relationship management with both clients and assistants. Success in this role means improving client retention, driving measurable achievements, and opening the door to client expansion and referrals.
While most of the day-to-day work will involve building strong partnerships with clients, the Customer Success Lead will also work directly with our Virtual Assistants and Executive Assistants to coach, support, and align expectations—ensuring both sides of the relationship succeed. This is a high-trust, strategic role for someone who can zoom out to design a department and zoom in to personally guide relationships.
You can also expect a long-term growth opportunity: as the department scales, there is a high likelihood this role will evolve into a leadership position with team management responsibilities.
This position is perfect for someone who:
✅ Has a strategic mind but loves rolling up their sleeves to get things done
✅ Enjoys working directly with clients and forming long-term relationships
✅ Believes in proactive care, not reactive support
✅ Knows the world of executive support inside and out
✅ Is passionate about helping others succeed and grow
✅ Is excited to build systems that scale, not just put out fires
A quick note about Customer Success vs. Customer Service:
Many people confuse Customer Success with Customer Service, but they are not the same thing. The similarity in names causes confusion—but make no mistake: this role is not about call scripts, help desk tickets, or troubleshooting. If your background is purely in a call center doing customer or tech support, this is likely not the right fit. We are looking specifically for people who have worked in a Customer Success capacity, with hands-on experience guiding long-term client relationships, driving outcomes, and preventing churn.
METEOR CORE VALUES
At METEOR, we value technical skills as much as cultural fit. That’s why it’s important for anyone joining our team to embody our Core Values:
- Commitment to Excellence – If your name is on it, make sure it’s done right. No shortcuts, no half-measures.
- Extreme Ownership – Your results are your responsibility. If something goes wrong, take charge of fixing it.
- Maintain a Growth Mindset – There’s no such thing as "I can't"—only "I haven’t learned how yet."
- Strive for Simplicity – Complexity kills efficiency. Focus on what matters, cut the rest.
- Discipline Over Motivation – Motivation comes and goes. Discipline keeps you moving forward.
- Consistency Over Intensity – A little progress every day beats bursts of effort followed by burnout.
- Resourcefulness Over Resources – You don’t need more; you need to make the most of what’s already there.
