• Partner closely with Customer Success, Product, and Engineering to prioritise customer requirements, align implementation priorities, manage delivery risks, and ensure successful customer outcomes.

• Oversee customer adoption, technical support, executive stakeholder management, resource planning, and operational reporting across Hupo's enterprise customer base.

You'll also be expected to continuously:

• Improve onboarding speed, delivery quality, customer satisfaction, implementation predictability, and support operations.

• Develop team capability through coaching, mentoring, hiring, and performance management.

• Forecast delivery capacity and allocate resources across strategic customer projects.

• Adapt and expand impact as priorities shift.

• Take ownership of new problems as they emerge.
