Define and enforce SLAs: Together with the Data and RevOps team, come up with dashboards that pinpoint the customers that require intervention.

  • Provide Data-Driven Insights: With help from the data and rev-ops teams, use and build dashboards to track your department's activities, how they lead to changes in customer behavior, and how it all impacts the company's bottom line.

Capacity and headcount planning: Create a system for account assignment and load balancing to optimize the impact of each CSM and forecast your headcount requirements.

  • Direct Customer Relationships: Build and maintain high-level relationships with our enterprise partners, becoming a trusted advisor who deeply understands their business goals and how it maps to our product suite.
  • Customer Advocacy: Act as the voice of the customer, advocating for customer needs across internal teams to inform product development and improve service delivery.
