- Ensure smooth handover of projects to the delivery team after contract closure.
- Build long-term client relationships and identify opportunities for repeat business and upselling.
- Maintain high standards of client communication and contribute to the agency's Upwork performance.
Requirements:
- 2+ years of proven experience managing and closing projects through Upwork.
- Strong track record of converting Upwork leads into paying clients.
- Experience handling end-to-end client meetings, negotiations, and contract closures.
- Excellent English communication and presentation skills.
