About Sitemate:

Day-to-Day

Own a portfolio of SMB customers as their main point of contact post-sale, building strong relationships and trust.
Run onboarding and activation: Set success plans, configure accounts, train users, and guide customers to their first wins quickly.
Prescribe best-practice workflows: Recommend how to configure Sitemate for different operational use cases across heavy industries.
Drive adoption through proactive check-ins, enablement, and ongoing education (calls, emails, Looms, and in-app guidance where relevant).
Monitor account health: Track usage signals, sentiment, and risks, then take action early to prevent churn.
Identify growth opportunities (where appropriate): Look for expansion signals, additional teams/sites, and new use cases, then send them through to the Account Management team to action them.
Be the internal voice of the customer: Share product feedback, recurring pain points, and what's working well to inform priorities and improvements.
Stay organised: Send recap emails after every meeting, set follow up tasks in Salesforce, and book in follow-ups to operate with clarity and consistency.

Challenges

Balancing a portfolio across the journey: You'll have customers at different stages (new onboarding, configuring account, started usage, activated, at risk, etc), so prioritisation is key.
Pace and learning curve: We move quickly and expect high ownership. The first few months involve a lot of product, process, and industry context - this environment suits someone who likes learning fast.
Complex, practical environments: Our customers operate in heavy industries with real constraints (sites, crews, shifting priorities). You'll need to be pragmatic and outcome-focused.
Tough conversations: You'll sometimes need to address low engagement, push for action, or reset expectations - professionally and confidently.
Strong operating standards: We have clear SOPs and ways of working. If you're used to "making it up as you go," you may need to unlearn some habits and lean into the engineered structure.

Who This Role is For

Enjoy building relationships and helping customers achieve outcomes (not just answering questions).
Are organised and proactive - you like planning your week, tracking follow-ups, and staying ahead of risks.
Have strong customer-facing experience (hospitality, retail, admin, operations, support, account management, etc.) and want to move into tech.
Learn quickly and bring a growth mindset: You seek feedback, apply it, and improve your approach.
Are a problem solver who can diagnose what's happening, propose a solution, and guide the customer through change.
Like working in a team that values clarity, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Who This Role is Not For

Prefer purely reactive work (e.g. only handling inbound support) rather than proactively managing a portfolio.
Struggle to juggle multiple priorities or find it difficult to manage your time independently.
Avoid customer calls or find it uncomfortable to lead conversations, influence stakeholders, or drive next steps.
Prefer highly slow-paced environments with low change and minimal process.
Want a role with minimal structure - this team runs with Standard Operating Principals, clear expectations, and performance standards.

Skills & Tools

Must Have:

Customer-facing experience (e.g. account management, support, operations, hospitality, admin, retail leadership) with evidence of building trust and handling issues calmly
Clear communication (written and verbal): Can run customer calls, summarise next steps, and write crisp follow-ups
Strong prioritisation and time management
Problem solving & critical thinking: Can diagnose what’s going on, propose options, and guide a customer to the best outcome
Consultative mindset: Asks good questions, understands customer goals, and recommends workflows (not just “how-to” answers)
Comfort with process and accountability: Follows SOPs, keeps notes/tasks up to date, and closes the loop reliably
Resilience and learning agility: Can absorb feedback, adapt quickly, and stay positive in a fast-paced environment
Attention to detail: Accurate in documentation, customer comms, and internal handovers
Basic commercial awareness: Understands retention, customer value, and why adoption matters (even if you haven’t owned renewals before)

Nice to Have:

Experience in SaaS / tech (support, onboarding, success, sales, implementation)
Familiarity with customer health signals (usage, sentiment, risk) and retention habits
Experience supporting customers in construction / trades / field operations / heavy industry or similar practical environments
Exposure to renewals or expansion conversations (even informally)
Comfort working with data (basic reporting, spotting trends, using dashboards)
Experience collaborating cross-functionally with Sales, Support, and Product
Technical aptitude: Quick to learn new software and explain workflows simply
