About The Opportunity
The Client Success team in Corporate Accounts works with SMB and Enterprise organizations who have Grubhub meal programs for their employees. CSMs assist their clients in platform onboarding, then facilitate and grow their corporate meal program which can include individual orders, group orders, catering, and event based services. CSMs are experts on the corporate program and upsell their client accounts through expanding the budget, adding office locations or business segments, and other use cases from what Sales initially sells. They continuously work to identify account growth opportunities through maintaining strong relationships and keeping their clients informed of product changes and promotions.
The Associate level CSM owns upselling on lower spending accounts which have huge upsell potential, as many large organizations begin with a conservative test budget then expand into 6 and 7 figures.

Client Associate Jobs in Illinois: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a client associate in Illinois?
Most client associate roles in financial services in Illinois require a bachelor's degree and, within the first few months on the job, passing FINRA licensing exams, typically the Series 7 and Series 63, which are administered nationally but required by Illinois-registered broker-dealers. Employers in insurance may require a state-issued Illinois Producer License through the Illinois Department of Insurance. Entry-level candidates often start in client service or operations support roles before moving into a client associate title.
Which companies hire client associates in Illinois?
Companies currently hiring client associates in Illinois include JPMorganChase, PNC Financial Services, and Bank of America, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Illinois's concentration of financial services headquarters and regional offices, particularly in the Chicago metro, means openings appear consistently throughout the year rather than only during seasonal hiring cycles.
Which Illinois cities have the most client associate jobs?
Chicago, Northbrook, and Wheaton have the most client associate openings in Illinois. Chicago dominates because it is home to major financial institutions, insurance carriers, and wealth management firms, while Naperville and Schaumburg attract openings from large suburban offices and regional headquarters that draw professionals from across the broader Chicago metro.
Are there remote client associate jobs in Illinois?
Yes, but they are less common than in purely analytical roles because client associates often support relationship managers who prefer in-person coordination and client meetings. About 53% of client associate openings tied to Illinois are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with the remote portion concentrated in back-office support, data entry, and client onboarding tasks that do not require a physical presence.
How can I get hired as a client associate in Illinois with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for client service representative or operations associate roles at Illinois-based broker-dealers, banks, or insurance companies and earning FINRA licensing on the job. Large Chicago employers such as Northern Trust and Baird run structured associate programs that onboard candidates without prior industry experience, prioritizing candidates who have a finance or business degree, strong communication skills, and a willingness to pursue their Series 7. Lateral moves from roles like bank teller, insurance customer service representative, or administrative coordinator within a financial services firm are also a common door into the client associate title.
Where can I find and apply to client associate jobs in Illinois?
You can find and apply to client associate jobs in Illinois on Migrate Mate, which lists current Illinois openings updated in real time. Search the roles available, identify the ones that match your background and target location, and apply directly to whichever positions fit your experience and goals.
