About the role

What You'll Do

Customer Engagement: Build strong relationships with key customer stakeholders through a scalable, digital-first engagement model. Manage a healthy portfolio of shared commercial accounts through structured touchpoints including defined customer calls, email and Intercom communication, webinars, office hours, and annual business reviews with a goal of ensuring customers derive maximum value from our platform at every stage of their journey.

Product Expertise & Enablement: Become a BuildOps product expert and teach customers how to leverage the platform to its full potential. Drive feature adoption across your portfolio, proactively share best practices around new releases, and help customers achieve measurable outcomes.

Success Planning: Develop and execute tailored success plans with a clear emphasis on value realization. Identify customer business workflows, pain points, and goals to build solutions that drive adoption, support retention, and create expansion opportunities.

Portfolio Health & Risk Management: Monitor health indicators and usage data across your portfolio to proactively identify risk signals and intervene before issues escalate. Execute commercial playbooks — including churn signal responses to health score drops, low usage, and escalations — to manage at-risk accounts with urgency and precision.

Customer Champion & Cross-Functional Coordinator: Serve as a proactive escalation point and tireless customer advocate. De-escalate difficult customer situations professionally and coordinate seamless handoffs with Professional Services, Customer Support, and the Customer Experience team to ensure a consistent, high-quality experience at every stage of the customer journey.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Segment Development: Partner with Business Development, Product & Engineering, Sales, Professional Services, and Marketing to align on customer needs and drive company-wide outcomes. Contribute ideas to commercial playbooks and help generate segment-level insights that continuously elevate how the Commercial Shared Team serves our customers at scale.
