Key Responsibilities

Strategic Account Management

• Executive Business Reviews (EBRs): Conduct high-impact strategic reviews to report on ROI, Product Roadmap, featur usage, and future growth alignment.
• Risk Mitigation: Proactively monitor account health and platform usage patterns to intervene before churn becomes a possibility.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Product Advocacy: Act as a "Voice of the Customer" (VoC) lead, translating client pain points into structured feedback for the Product and Engineering teams.

• Technical Liaison: Collaborate with Support and Engineering to fast-track resolution for high-priority issues impacting VIP accounts.

Operational Excellence

• Process Improvement: Contribute to the "Linnworks Playbook"—improving our internal processes for onboarding, health checks, and churn reporting.

Success Metrics (The "What Success Looks Like")

1. Net Retention Rate (NRR): Ensuring clients stay and grow.
2. Customer Health Score: Maintaining a high weighted score across usage, sentiment, and support engagement.
3. Expansion Pipeline: Driving a consistent flow of qualified leads for the upsell team.
