• Champion the growth trajectory of the account by crafting, negotiating, and leading services contracts and implementation proposals that expand customer value and product adoption
• Act as the ultimate program governance leader by proactively anticipating risks, resolving complex internal and external challenges (the first line of escalation), and inspiring excellence across diverse project teams
• Ensure long-term success and continuity by overseeing smooth transitions from implementation into post-deployment operations and ongoing customer enablement teams
• Communicate proactively and with executive clarity, ensuring all stakeholders at all levels are fully aligned, informed, and motivated to achieve world-class results
