• Provide consultation on sourcing processes and best practices, tailoring recommendations to each customer’s operating model (e.g., policy and compliance, preferred Venue & Vendors, sourcing templates, bid comparisons, approvals).
• Proactively engage customers on CSN roadmap updates and initiatives, coordinating with the primary success resource to ensure a unified message on new functionality, how it maps to their goals, and what actions are needed to adopt it effectively.
• Leverage data and AI-driven insights in collaboration with the primary success resource to identify trends, risks, and optimization opportunities across accounts, and translate those insights into clear, actionable recommendations for both customers and internal stakeholders.
• Partner closely with Sales, Account Management, and cross-functional teams, working in tandem with the primary success resource to deliver a unified customer experience, support renewals, and uncover expansion opportunities.
• Maintain high-quality Gainsight hygiene and success documentation, including success plans, timeline entries, and CTAs that reflect key milestones, touchpoints, and outcomes for your shared accounts.
• Serve as a voice of the customer for CSN, advocating for customer needs, sharing insights and trends with Product and other partners, and influencing sourcing product and program strategy.
