- Monitor customer health, satisfaction, risk, and escalation themes to ensure early action and clear ownership across the team.
- Partner directly with team members on strategic customers and escalations to protect revenue, improve outcomes, and strengthen long-term advocacy.
Account Coverage, Structure & Operational Discipline

- Coach the team on consultative customer conversations, renewal and expansion strategies, account planning, prioritisation, and disciplined follow-through.
Operational Excellence & Execution
- Apply strong operational discipline to track performance, outcomes, and key retention and growth metrics for the strategic portfolio.
