Job Summary:

We are seeking a Customer Success Manager with practical experience partnering with customers in K-12 education. The role includes building relationships with district leadership across the State of Oklahoma, onboarding new districts, and engaging in data-driven conversations regarding literacy intervention. This is primarily an individual contributing, customer-facing position. However, the role will also be responsible for leading a team of internal stakeholders to deliver value across the statewide implementation.

Essential Functions:

  • Build Trusted Relationships

You build strong relationships keyed to trust and a sense of mutual mission. You will spend most of your time face-to-face in district offices, schools, and/or classrooms, interfacing with LAUSD teachers, leaders, and stakeholders. You will communicate with educators about their adoption trends and sentiment, and mine opportunities for deeper engagement. Because of your ability to influence others, educators at multiple levels of the organization serve as advocates, and therefore lead to more schools leveraging Amira effectively.

You provide insights to customers using data to drive Amira usage and implementation practices with fidelity, leading to impact (e.g. student growth).

  • Product Expertise & Feedback

You will know Amira’s product inside and out. You are often called upon to provide technical advice or training. You must be excellent at distilling the reasons why the product is working well and why it is failing to deliver value. You then convey this information back to R&D in an actionable form, working to find the right compromises between engineering and service implementation time/cost and customer value.

  • Use Product Data to Drive Value

You will communicate in novel and compelling ways about adoption trends and sentiment, finding ways to passionately convey the value proposition when examining a district’s utilization and reading growth data. You will use Customer Success enablement tools to scale your impact across a high volume of interactions (phone, email, and zoom) daily, tracking early-warning signs throughout the customer lifecycle and mitigating creatively and relentlessly.

  • Risk Mitigation

You proactively mine for concerns or issues experienced by the customer. You get ahead of these problems whenever possible by tracking early-warning signs throughout the customer lifecycle and mitigating creatively and relentlessly. When necessary, you snap quickly into crisis management mode.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree, and/or relevant experience.
  • 3+ years of customer success experience - preferably in the Education SaaS industry
  • Experience implementing software solutions, preferably in the Education SaaS industry.
  • Proven track record of high (90%+) renewals rate and achievement of expansion goals and targets.
