This person will be a core member of our customer success team, and will be well-positioned to succeed - the entire company from sales, customer success, product, and engineering are all aligned to make sure our customers are successful!

Own the implementation process end-to-end for assigned accounts which include: successful implementation and training of the software to drive adoption by new clients
Setting accurate expectations with clients and internal stakeholders
Actively communicating with Account Executives and Customer Success Managers regarding client progress
Assisting with high-severity requests or issue escalations as needed
Participating in cross-functional groups to establish enhancements to communications, tools, and products

Oversee complex process design and setup
Be an expert in Workstream, so you can guide new users and answer their questions
Keep track of client activity, notes, and next steps clearly in our success software
Deliver user training and develop supporting manuals and processes to ensure users understand core concepts and can independently adopt key software features
Incorporate internal and external feedback to drive continuous improvements in the onboarding process
Learn from your assigned clients to build and maintain templates
Designing programs, both high and low touch, that are meaningful to our customers and help them realize value from their relationship with Workstream
