• Develop and lead execution on Strategic Account Plans (STRAPs) for each customer account to ensure customers achieve their desired business outcomes by aligning the Axiom solution with the customer’s strategic objectives. STRAPs are to be informed by learnings around customer needs, business challenges and goals.
• Regularly engage with customers through Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs), scheduled operational meetings and routine conversations with key stakeholders to ensure Axiom alignment with customer goals.
• Lead the onboarding process for new customers, ensuring a smooth transition and understanding of our products and services.
• Solve complex problems, working across product, operations and sales; serve as the voice of the customer and provide internal feedback on how we can better serve customers to maximize value and retention.
• Develop and implement processes and tools that help the Customer Success function scale and effectively support customer accounts.
• Analyze and present key results, facilitate meetings, and deliver nuanced technical and data-driven messages to customer stakeholders.
• Monitor customer health and satisfaction, proactively identifying and mitigating issues and potential risks to prevent customer churn.
• Collaborate with the sales team to identify and drive upsell opportunities.
• Negotiate contract renewals and expansions with a focus on delivering mutual value.

• Share customer insights and feedback with Product Management for potential product enhancements and to inform the product roadmap.
