Customer Education and Enablement Manager

Customer Education and Enablement is an implementation offering that provides a comprehensive level of engagement to our customers. We tailor each customer’s onboarding and enablement experience to reflect their specific business need. We facilitate education sessions, help manage the change to our software, smooth the transition between departments, and continue building on the partnership our sales and implementation teams have established. With each engagement we seek to provide the right product knowledge to the right people at the right time. The Customer Education and Enablement Management provides remote consultation, guidance, and training prior to, during, and after project go live. We work closely with site admins, managers, supervisors & agents to understand exactly where their pain points are (or where they are going to be), and then partner with them until they demonstrate proficiencies in all areas of the platform. Our customers will not transition out of onboarding until the Customer Education and Enablement Manager has signed off that these proficiencies have been demonstrated.

Client interaction will be done over the phone and/or via virtual meeting platforms, with face-to-face meetings as deemed necessary and/or appropriate, as may be outlined in the customer's contract. The Customer Education and Enablement Manager will work both independently and in concert with the Professional Services, Technical Services and Education Services teams. Together, these teams are responsible to ensure both customer longevity and systematic growth. The Customer Education and Enablement Manager is also an organizational leader and is expected to serve as a mentor and coach for junior staff.
