Customer Success at Rise8

We are searching for a Customer Success Manager who has a passion for working with federal agency customers, in particular the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.  

You will need to be able to easily shift between skill sets in response to account needs.  In a single day you may need to wear various hats such as Program Manager, Onboarding Specialist, Digital Transformation Guide, and Delivery Coordinator.

You will work across multiple account teams at once, typically composed of a Product Manager, User-Centered Designer, and Platform and/or Software Engineers.

For new contracts, you will work with Practice Leadership and Recruiting to ensure the right staff is in place at the right time with the right skill sets.  You will establish and guide the delivery team members through a streamlined account onboarding process and share any known context about the work they are about to engage in.  You’ll work with the customer Product Owner and Contracting Representative to ensure we are aligned on goals, identify and mitigate risks, establish metrics, have the right agile practices in place, and establish Deliverable and Invoicing submission processes.

As accounts mature, you’ll measure the health of the team and the account on a regular basis and drive remediation plans as needed.  You will work with the delivery team to ensure the customer realizes the value being delivered in line with their desired impacts.  Finally, with your business and ownership mentality, you’ll drive the account strategy that results in referenceable customers and expansion opportunities.
