BUSINESS UNIT
Within HRS Enterprise Solutions, we organize around industry-specific verticals to deliver deeper value to our most strategic clients. Our Public Sector vertical serves federal, state and municipal authorities and public institutions — organizations that run some of the most complex, high-scrutiny travel and spend programmes in the market. Your mission will be to own these client relationships end-to-end after the sale — protecting and growing multi-year public-sector accounts inside a highly regulated procurement environment.
MISSION & IMPACT
Mission
As a Customer Success Manager (all genders) in our Public Sector vertical, you are the trusted advisor to large public-sector clients — owning the full client relationship after the sale. You safeguard value realization and retention while driving sustainable revenue growth through upsell and cross-sell. You navigate complex public stakeholder structures, position solutions at decision-maker level, and turn platform adoption into measurable outcomes.
Impact
You fuel HRS’s growth by retaining and expanding strategic public-sector accounts. By embedding HRS’s AI-native Copilot and Connect Platform into clients’ travel, meetings and payment programmes, you help public organizations optimize cost, compliance, and control — while consistently achieving and exceeding retention and expansion targets.
