Your strategic mindset will ensure you are proactively networking within your accounts to gather insights on how our data is used within their business. You will ensure that our clients have regular touchpoints where you present quarterly account reviews working closely with the Account Manager. Your commercial mindset will identify gaps in their solutions; you will pro-actively account plan with the Account Manager for a successful commercial output.

Act on client feedback and work with the Product team to build their feature enhancements pipeline. • Collaborate with the Client Services team to ensure client queries including client technical issues are addressed within SLAs and on-going issues do not persist. • Work closely with our Customer Onboarding Team to ensure users are trained across your accounts and adoption levels are high. Provide and deliver ad-hoc training where necessary with senior stakeholders. • Ensure you are up to speed on all the latest releases and enhancements in our solutions and that you have effectively communicated these to your customers (providing training where necessary). • It’s imperative that you build internal relationships within all departments (including editorial, sales, product and marketing teams) to ensure an outstanding and streamlined customer experience. • Maintain an exceptional level of customer satisfaction rates ensuring action is taken from our NPS/customer surveys. • Support amplifying the customer by identifying case studies, seeing these through to completion.
