• You'll keep a close eye on usage trends, sentiment, and health indicators, stepping in early to resolve issues and manage escalations with calm, clear communication.
• You'll be the connective tissue between Support, Technical Account Management, Product, Training, Professional Services, and Account Management, giving each team the context they need to deliver for the client.
• You'll run tight, purposeful client meetings, keep documentation current, and continuously look for ways to improve how we deliver success, sharing client trends and feedback back into Product.
