You will build the operating model, digital and human-touch journeys, and performance discipline needed to strengthen adoption, retention, customer health and expansion readiness while improving productivity and cost-to-serve.

• Build digital and one-to-many experiences—including lifecycle campaigns, webinars, office hours, communities, digital business reviews and AI-enabled guidance—that expand reach while remaining relevant
• Lead, coach, and develop managers and their CXM teams; establish clear expectations, strong succession and talent practices, and a culture of accountability, learning, inclusion, and customer advocacy
• Drive retention, adoption, customer health, renewal readiness, satisfaction and expansion signals while optimizing capacity, portfolio design, productivity and cost-to-serve
• Standardize lifecycle motions, playbooks, account prioritization, renewal execution and risk escalation; use health signals, leading indicators and portfolio insights to focus intervention and improve performance
• Partner with Operations and Technology teams to optimize platforms such as Gainsight, CRM, digital engagement tools, and AI capabilities; automate low-value work and improve personalization, insight, and execution
• Establish a disciplined approach to pilots, experimentation, measurement, and iteration; scale the programs that work and retire those that do not
• Collaborate with Sales, Marketing, Product, Services, Support, Finance, and Operations to align handoffs, communications, product feedback loops, renewal motions, and expansion opportunities; translate the voice of the segment into actionable recommendations
• Translate transformation priorities into adopted operating practices, communications, enablement, and inspection mechanisms; engage executive stakeholders when needed to resolve systemic or high-impact customer issues
