Purpose of the role:

Drive account growth by establishing 'trusted advisor' status with their customers. 

Key Responsibilities:

• Drive, establish and exceed in Customer Success Metrics
• Customer Success is a relatively new discipline at the client, so they need somebody who will own and drive best practice metrics throughout the business.

• Map the customer journey ensuring key touchpoints are identified and acted upon so the customer feels loved but not bombarded.
• You will then be adept at summarising their feedback and feeding back through to relevant internal departments for action.
• Identify the Customer Value Proposition
• Can you put yourself in the shoes of a customer and then act as that voice within the company? There are two sides to this coin:
1. You will become an expert in their products so you can educate their customers on how best to leverage the value of their product.
2. Additionally, acting on customer requests, you will need to clearly understand the business needs of the customer and be able to articulate a business case (where appropriate) that outlines the ROI for both the customer and the client.
• Sales handover
• They want you involved in the later stages of the sales cycle. You will be able to ascertain very quickly why the customer is coming onboard, ensure a smooth handover from sales and enable the customer to have an awesome onboarding experience.
• Because you know their particular reasons for joining them, you will then be able to build customised feedback reporting to the customer to ensure they are meeting their requirements.
• Marketing advice
• As the voice of the customer, you will be well placed to advise marketing on helpful content.
• You will take ownership of acquiring case studies and testimonials and will drive where and when these could be placed.

• You will proactively handle renewals to reduce churn and use as a means to capture new opportunity.

• Liaise with product experts inside the business to resolve product specific support requests
• Functional/people Leadership experience
  
  
• Initially there will will be no team to support you with Customer Success, however the expectation is that this will change as the discipline is built out

1. Functional/directional leadership to establish and embed a world-class Customer Success function in the business
2. Sustain and extend the Customer Success function through recruitment, development and success planning of a team
