Opens the job on BrightEdge's own careers site. Some companies ask you to create an account or click through another page first.
What you'd actually do: Manage a team of 6-8 customer success managers, coach them, and handle escalations for enterprise SEO platform customers.
Most people just hit Apply. Do these first and you show up with someone on the inside.
A friendly message to a current rep is the best way to stand out. Ask about their experience, not for a referral.
