Client Operations Manager
Since our inception in 2015 in Denmark, Liva has been a pioneer in the field of digital behaviour change. Our ambition is to empower 1 million people by 2030 to improve their health and well-being by preventing and managing chronic conditions through digitally-powered, evidence-based lifestyle interventions.
Headquartered in Copenhagen and London, our collaborations with healthcare systems - including the NHS, life science companies and health insurers - allow us to impact lives at scale. We recently acquired Momenta, a leading developer and provider of evidence-based, outcome driven, healthy lifestyle solutions that help people negotiate the many day-to-day challenges they face in living healthier lives, with a focus on weight management.
About the role
As the primary owner of your contract portfolio, you hold ultimate accountability for client relationships, delivery outcomes, and overall contract performance. While you are supported by an internal cross-functional team (comprising patient services, practitioner operations, programmes, business intelligence, and product & tech) and will collaborate closely with Commercial, Public Sector Partnerships, and Research units, you remain the main point of contact for the client. You will know your contracts inside out and serve as the single individual responsible for driving their success.
What you’ll be doing
Client relationship and contract governance
Own the client relationship for assigned contracts. Operate in a proactive, not reactive way: anticipate needs and flag emerging issues before they become formal concerns.
Manage contract governance and compliance. Know the SLAs, the KPIs, the contractual commitments, and whether we are meeting them. Maintain up-to-date contract documentation, escalation logs, and risk records.
Chair regular client reviews (monthly operational, quarterly business, contract reviews). Present performance, risks, and forward plans.
Manage client escalations. Own the response and resolution. Escalate internal performance concerns before they reach commissioner/customer level.
Delivery and performance
Accountable for SLA compliance and delivery outcomes across assigned contracts.
Own KPI tracking and reporting per contract: dashboard accuracy, reviewed weekly.
Act as the early warning system for referral volumes: track performance against target and proactively flag high-volume periods or pipeline pressure before it becomes a capacity problem.
Own the performance narrative: interpret data, identify trends, present to clients with a forward plan.
Where KPIs are at risk, lead structured, time-bound improvement sprints with the relevant internal stakeholders. Hold the accountability; delivery sits with the relevant functional owner.
Renewal and growth
Own renewal preparation: compile performance evidence, outcome data, and client feedback to support the commercial case.
Identify growth and upsell opportunities from delivery, feeding these to the commercial interface for proposal development.
Support re-commissioning and re-procurement processes by providing operational evidence and client intelligence.
Internal coordination and reporting
Coordinate across functions (product & tech, Service Operations and project management) to deliver against the contract specification.
Produce weekly operational reporting for your contracts; contribute to the monthly Service Operations review with no internal surprises ahead of external reporting cycles.
What you’ll have
Experience managing client relationships in contract management, account management, or service management roles, ideally in digital health or healthcare, public sector, or a complex service environment.
Experience owning contract outcomes end-to-end, not just contributing to them.
Comfortable operating as the single point of accountability for contract performance.
Able to coordinate across multiple functions without direct line management authority.
Confident working with performance data: interpreting dashboards, identifying trends, presenting insights to internal and external stakeholders
Excellent communication skills: able to chair client meetings, present to commissioners, and manage escalations with confidence
Highly organised, able to manage a varied contract portfolio without losing grip on detail
What you’ll get
The chance to be the named, trusted face of Liva for some of our most important client relationships. Real ownership, real accountability, real impact.

Why come work at Liva?
-
Make a difference
At Liva, we do not go to work just to work. We are a purpose-driven company, and we go to work every day to help people live better lives. Our purpose is in our DNA, and it is important that this is also a driver for you. -
Flexible work hours and locations
We value the health of our employees, and it all starts with a healthy work/life balance. We will put in the extra effort when needed, but we also know the importance of recharging your batteries and spending time on your priorities outside work. We are flexible when it comes to working from home, but we also expect that you will prioritise to come to the office and contribute to the company culture. -
Your colleagues
We are an ambitious bunch of people, and we work hard to achieve our goals - but we do not want colleagues with sharp elbows competing internally instead of working as a team. -
Personal growth
If you have the passion, skills, empathy, and enthusiasm to drive things forward, this is more important to us than formal education. We believe in personal growth and to give people the chance of growing into new areas of expertise if they have the drive and talent to do so.
