Data-Driven Execution Regularly analyze engagement and retention metrics to guide proactive outreach. Maintain accurate forecasting, renewal status, and risk tracking in our CRM and CS platforms. Report performance and opportunities to leadership with clarity and speed. 🧭 What Success Looks Like NRR of 120%+ across your education portfolio. At least 90% renewal rate year over year. High customer advocacy: referrals, case studies, or participation in marketing events. Clear contribution to internal efficiency (playbooks, reporting, onboarding improvements). Recognition as a trusted strategic advisor by educators and internal stakeholders alike. 🧩 About You Essential Skills & Experience 3+ years in Customer Success, Account Management, or Educational Partnerships within a SaaS or EdTech company.
