The role

For the Customer Success Manager who loves a quota and a challenge, this freelance role delivers both in equal measure. You won't find a tighter fit if you've got 6 years, want $124,000 - $186,000, and crave a sales marketing team that lets you lead.

Key Responsibilities

  • Run discovery calls that uncover budget without asking for it
  • Pitch Ford at $124,000 - $186,000 value without apologizing for the price
  • Pitch, listen, adjust, and pitch again until the sales marketing deal lands
  • Map buyer pain to Ford's pitch deck, slide by slide
  • Pitch upsells that feel like favors, not invoices

What You'll Bring

  • At least 6 years building expertise within the sales marketing space
  • Clear thinking under the kind of pressure Alexandria, VA deadlines bring
  • Sharp organizational skills and an ability to juggle multiple workstreams
  • Comfort with the freelance cadence of an Alexandria-based operation
  • 8+ years owning outcomes, not just completing tasks
  • 6+ years that left you with strong instincts and few illusions

Plenty of firms claim to do sales marketing; Ford actually does it, and from Alexandria no less, with a warm-yet-rigorous stubbornness about quality. As a Customer Success Manager, you'll have a real voice in shaping how the sales marketing team operates.

Salaries here begin at $124,000 - $186,000, complemented by stock options, learning budgets, and weekly one-on-one coaching.

We refreshed it today so candidates know the freelance role is genuinely open.
