You will proactively manage the customer relationship by, amongst others, perform evaluations and work on customer roadmaps.

Next to the above main tasks, you will also work on optimizing the customer journey and customer engagement by installing a center of excellence to ensure this.

Post-go-live orchestration and customer oversight

• Monitor customer signals and identify adoption barriers and delivery risks early, then drive a functional action plan with clear owners, deadlines, and success criteria
• Deliver hands on enablement and support to customer teams, including onboarding, best practice coaching, and issue triage, while ensuring technical fixes are routed through the appropriate internal teams
• Coordinate training, enablement, and internal communications to reduce adoption barriers
• Voice of customer to product: a formal path for feature requests and pain points, with prioritization rationale and feedback back to customers
• Stay closely connected with Implementation and Technical Support team and Account Management after go-live to ensure continuity and reinforcement
