This role supports customers and stakeholders primarily during U.S. business hours.

Expected working hours are 01:00 PM to 10:00 PM IST, with occasional flexibility required to support collaboration with U.S.-based teams and business needs.

What you’ll do

• Develop Customer Success Plans: Work collaboratively with clients to build comprehensive success plans that outline critical goals and the strategies to achieve them.

• Strategic Communication: Establish a proactive communication cadence (weekly, monthly, quarterly) tailored to client needs, and facilitate meetings that review progress, share key insights, and align on next steps.

• Trusted Customer Advocate: Cement yourself as a trusted advisor, leveraging empathy, critical thinking, and active listening to understand client needs and provide tailored solutions.

• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Partner with Sales, Marketing, Professional Services, Product, Operations, and Support to resolve issues, manage escalations, and communicate client feedback that informs product development and process improvements.

• Monitor Key Performance Metrics: Track and report client achievement of key performance indicators (KPIs), providing insights both internally and to customer stakeholders.

• Support and Training Identification: Work with the Training team to identify additional client training opportunities that enhance product knowledge and usage.

• Champion the Customer’s Voice: Serve as the customer’s advocate, raising up key insights and feedback from customers to the internal Blackbaud organization.

• Continuous Learning and Adaptation: Maintain up-to-date knowledge of Blackbaud's current and upcoming product offerings and incorporate feedback to enhance customer engagements.

What you’ll bring

• Technical Proficiency: Adept at engaging in consultative technical discussions and providing light technical solutions. Experience with CRMs (e.g., Salesforce) and CSPs (e.g., Gainsight) is advantageous.

• Exceptional Communication Skills: Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to handle strategic conversations and deliver concise, respectful, and value-driven messaging.

• Customer-Centric Approach: Demonstrated ability to understand customer needs, anticipate challenges, and respond with urgency to deliver exceptional service.
