Customer Success Executive

About the role

Our Customer Success Executives (CSEs) play a critical role in the engagement of our smaller customer relationships. As a CSE your focus will be on ensuring that our customers are wildly successful throughout their journey with Zellis. You will report to the Head of Customer Success and work alongside our customer facing teams. You will work with a segment of small-medium sized Commercial or Public Sector customers. Drawing on product usage data and other information, you will engage your customer segment via a “Technical touch” approach (eg: Hubspot, Webinars, ChurnZero in-app guides) to improve the outcomes that they achieve using Zellis Product & Services.

Areas of focus will include adoption of HCM features, system optimisation, ensuring customers are referenceable and participate in the Brand NPS Programme. By ensuring our customers are successful, it is expected that you can drive customer advocacy activities and loyalty, to include but not limited to the timely completion of reference requests and creating case study and video testimonial opportunities. Being organised and carefully planning your approach will enable you to dedicate time to those activities which will have the most impact.

You will collaborate cross functionally with many teams and support your colleagues on projects through knowledge sharing. Responsible for the collation and delivery of business reviews, you will be proficient at building solid relationships and can utilise internal stakeholders to full effect, depending on the nature of the customer engagement and delivery outcome required.

During engagements with customers, it is expected that you will source upsell opportunities and work closely with Account Managers to ensure these are brought to fruition, in turn delivering value to our customers and our business alike. Where the customer partnership needs to be improved, you will harness the knowledge and capability of the wider Customer Success Management population to draw on years of experience to shape an engagement strategy. Equally, you will have the ability to be mentored by a CSM who will support the evolution of your skills such that in the future, the role of a CSM may be a natural progression for you.

In this role your key responsibilities will be:

• Proactive engagement with your customer segment using technical touch methods for enabling increased product adoption or knowledge share, with Teams meetings to deliver business reviews and other customer engagements as required. This may include travel to a customer site for the benefit of the relationship.
• Being the Voice of the customer segment to represent customer sentiment and actively engaging in the Brand NPS process, driving actions because of the feedback sought
• Improving product adoption across your customer segment through identification of gaps and developing repeatable content (eg: text, video) and playbooks for use by Customer Success
• Managing your account list and reporting on customer segment health to senior stakeholders within Zellis
• Identification of “troubled customers” where a Customer Success Manager colleague needs to be engaged to deliver a recovery plan
• Identifying and nurturing areas for cross-sell and up-sell to provide additional value within the customer segment
• To promote customer reference and advocacy activities primarily through technical touch and ensuring our customers are receiving fantastic service from Zellis
• Active involvement in customer surveys, e.g. NPS with appropriate management and customer follow up
• Highlight any issues with customer data quality so these can be rectified
• Maintenance and update of your customers base in Netsuite, Churn Zero, and Pendo etc.
• Meetings with customers and recorded in Churn Zero
• Build strong relationships with Account Managers to enhance your customer journey and engagement.
