• Drive renewal and expansion activity across the portfolio, uncovering upsell and cross-sell opportunities based on client usage patterns, transaction volumes, and evolving business needs.
• Manage client escalations with speed and ownership, diagnosing root causes and coordinating internal resolutions to restore client confidence and platform adoption.
• Translate client feedback and activation friction points into structured, evidence based insights for Product teams to systematically improve the onboarding experience and platform utility.
