• Maintain updated customer stakeholder information and relationship records.
• Proactively identify customer dissatisfaction and address concerns before they develop into major complaints or retention risks.
• Ensure customers receive timely updates and consistent communication regarding ongoing matters.

4. Customer Reviews and Account Management

• Organize, chair, and manage regular customer service review meetings.
• Prepare meeting agendas, document discussions, circulate meeting minutes, and track follow-up actions.

• Participate in Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) led by technical consultants or vCIOs.

• Act as the primary communication point for customers during service-related escalations.
• Coordinate with the service delivery team to ensure customer concerns are addressed through established escalation procedures.
• Keep customers informed about progress and provide regular updates based on information received from the responsible technical teams.
• Ensure customer expectations are managed professionally without making unauthorized technical commitments or resolution-time guarantees.
• Follow up with customers after issues are resolved and identify any further commercial or relationship-related concerns.
