• Analyze product usage, operational data, and customer insights to identify optimization and expansion opportunities.
• Support renewals and expansion efforts by aligning demonstrated technical value to customer business outcomes.
• Develop customer success stories and case studies highlighting measurable results and enterprise‑scale impact.

• Partner closely with Professional Services, Product, Support, Engineering, Sales, and Customer Success to deliver cohesive outcomes.
• Summarize and communicate customer feedback related to product gaps, bugs, and roadmap considerations.
• Influence internal prioritization by providing structured, data‑backed insights from enterprise customers.
• Participate in the sales cycle as needed to gather technical requirements, shape solution approaches, and support proposals or SOWs.
• Contribute to the development of scalable delivery processes, playbooks, and best practices across the CX organization.
