• Scale Value Realization: Design and implement one-to-many value reporting frameworks and programmatic business reviews, allowing customers to track [Employer] ROI without requiring manual, one-off decks
• Cross-Regional Alignment: Serve as the regional operational bridge to US digital and scale CS leaders, ensuring continuous sharing of content, automation tooling (e.g., Gainsight/Salesforce), and customer feedback loops.
• Internal Leadership & Mentorship: Act as the strategic counterpart to regional CS leadership on capacity modeling and portfolio health, while mentoring team peers on tech-touch strategies and modern digital CS practices.
