Why This Role Matters

The Engagement Expert is the post-sale operational engine of the Zencity customer relationship. From the moment a deal closes, you own the journey — driving implementations to a successful go-live, launching recurring projects, and ensuring the platform delivers measurable value against each client's goals. You are the operational heartbeat of our customer relationships, ensuring that every city, county, and agency we serve gets up and running fast and keeps getting value long after.

What You Will Do

• Own implementation end-to-end: Manage the full implementation lifecycle from Closed Won through configured, trained, and signed-off go-live — hitting the 60-day clock per the Implementation Playbook.
• Configure and personalize the platform: Set up and tailor Zencity's product suite across Listen, Ask, and Communicate to meet each client's specific needs and use cases.
• Contribute to pre-sales solution design: Partner with Account Executives on Solution Design Documents, ensuring what's sold can be successfully delivered.
• Train and enable client users: Deliver training and best-practices guidance that empowers client teams to get the most out of Zencity independently.
• Drive recurring project delivery: Own the creation, QA, and client sign-off of DIY surveys and content pages on an ongoing basis after go-live.
• Track adoption and health: Monitor feature adoption, survey design quality, and account health signals — surfacing CSQLs and risk flags to the Account Manager early.

• Local government and/or public safety domain knowledge: You understand how government organizations operate and can speak credibly to their workflows and priorities.
• Data curiosity and analytical skills: Comfortable working with data, identifying patterns, and helping clients connect platform outputs to real decisions.
• Client-facing presence: Confident delivering training, leading working sessions, and managing stakeholder expectations across levels.

• Experience working with NLP, ML-powered products, or data analytics platforms.
• Familiarity with community engagement, communications, or public safety workflows in a government context.

• 90%+ gross retention across your portfolio.
• Consistent achievement of quarterly adoption and engagement KPIs.
