• Partnering with Product Specialists and Product Management to understand new enhancements and share client feedback that helps influence the roadmap

• Leveraging usage analytics to identify trends, inform renewal strategies, and uncover opportunities for adoption or potential upsells

• Developing a deep understanding of client objectives and industry trends and translating that insight into practical recommendations, serving as a trusted advisor across client projects and initiatives

• Serving as the client's voice internally and ensuring enhancement requests and recurring themes reach the appropriate teams

• Using CRM and engagement tools such as Salesforce and SalesLoft or Cadence to track activity, manage outreach, and execute structured engagement plans

• Proven ability to build strong relationships with senior client stakeholders and maintain a high level of client satisfaction

• Strong organizational skills, with the ability to prioritize, multitask, and manage competing demands

• Curiosity, problem-solving ability, and an interest in understanding market trends and client needs

Additional Preferred Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree required, preferably in Finance, Economics, Business, or a related field

• Customer Success or account management certification (such as Customer Success Association certification, Salesforce Administrator certification, or similar professional credentials)
