• Set baselines and success criteria tied to adoption and value realisation goals.
• Analyse post go live adoption and process data to recommend clear, actionable improvements.
• Advise customers on practical ways to use AI to automate work and boost productivity.
• Partner with Customer Success, Consulting, Support, Managed Services and Product to drive measurable outcomes.

• A track record of improving customer business processes and outcomes.
• Practical experience using AI to automate work and drive measurable results.
• Strong stakeholder management, including influencing senior leaders and customer executives.

• Business process optimisation, with an eye for turning clunky workflows into slick ones.

• Change management savvy and the confidence to advise customers as a trusted partner.

Education Requirements

• Bachelor degree or equivalent professional experience in Business, Technology, Finance, Analytics or a related field.
• Relevant certifications (SaaS customer success, process improvement, Lean Six Sigma) are a plus.

Team Context

• One of three in the U4F by Coda team, alongside a Support Specialist and a Database Administrator.
• Together you deliver proactive performance and technical support before and after go live.
• You'll act as an advisory partner, not a reactive support escalation point.
