📐 About the role
We're seeking a customer success manager to drive the AI adoption and activation strategy for our most strategic customers. This role focuses on showcasing the platform's power and ensuring persistent organizational adoption. You’ll guide organizations from their initial kickoff to production deployment, ensuring successful onboarding, tailored enablement, champion programs, and change management strategies.

Navigating complex relationships, you'll be key in transmitting WRITER’s energy to customers. You'll help build processes for activation, adoption, advocacy and sustained success for each customer’s unique transformation journey.

You’ll work cross-functionally with sales, transformation leads, industry practice leads, product, and enablement teams to create a cohesive customer journey. Success looks like faster adoption, deeper activation, strategic use cases reaching production, and customers clearly demonstrating measurable business impact.
