Product Adoption: You will drive active usage across your districts by delivering high-impact training and implementation strategies and creating compelling support materials, such as tutorials and one-pagers, that ensure implementation is scalable and our tools become essential to daily teacher workflows.
Churn Mitigation: You will identify at-risk accounts and execute intervention playbooks to maintain a gross churn rate below company thresholds, specifically focusing on a 90 day action plan for high-stakes renewals.
Strategic Relationship Management: You will build deep trust with district executive leadership, managing accounts with individual ARR values of six-figures or more through data-driven storytelling and consultative selling.
Leadership and Mentorship: You will scale our collective impact by contributing high level insights to the Customer Success playbook, driving cross functional strategy in leadership meetings, and mentoring junior team members to elevate the entire regional organization.
