Client Delivery Manager

Optus is an Australian telecommunications company, delivering more than 11 million services to our customers every day across mobile, broadband and digital solutions.

The Client Success Manager (CSM) is the senior point of accountability for customer outcomes and contracted service delivery across a portfolio of complex Enterprise and State Government clients. This role combines Client Success leadership with Service Delivery accountability, ensuring Optus delivers reliable services while enabling customers to achieve measurable business outcomes, realise ongoing value, and grow their partnership with Optus. Success is primarily measured by client outcomes, value realisation, and retention, with service performance acting as a critical enabler rather than the end goal. As a trusted advisor to senior client partners, the CSM translates service delivery into strategic business value, positioning Optus as a long-term partner rather than a commodity provider.

• Maintain end‑to‑end accountability for contracted service delivery, ensuring SLA performance and leading escalations, major incidents, and continuous improvement where service performance impacts outcomes.
• Monitor client health, retention, and risk, proactively identifying churn risks and leading cross‑functional remediation and renewal strategies grounded in demonstrated value.
• Drive growth and advocacy, identifying expansion opportunities, partnering with Sales on value
