This role partners closely with Sales, the onboarding team, Renewal Specialists, Product, and Marketing to execute a consistent, high-touch engagement motion across the enterprise book.

Deliver up to 8 hours of annual training per account through live sessions, webinars, and adoption campaigns to drive platform proficiency and engagement. Drive the 180-day renewal outreach cadence in partnership with a dedicated Renewal Specialist, ensuring accurate forecasting and proactive risk mitigation ahead of each renewal date. Identify and surface expansion signals using Portside's playbooks, handing qualified opportunities to the Account Executive to close; reinforce expansion through product-led, in-app prompts. Leverage Portside's digital success layer, including automated QBR generation, workflow optimization recommendations, product release briefings, and data-triggered journeys, to extend consistent coverage across the portfolio. Track usage, health scores, and account analytics to proactively identify at-risk accounts and adjust engagement accordingly. Serve as the primary point of contact and executive-level relationship owner for each assigned account. Partner with Product and Engineering to relay enterprise customer feedback and influence roadmap priorities. Facilitate customer advocacy, including executive references, testimonials, and case studies, in support of new business and expansion motions. Maintain accurate account data, health scores, and engagement history in the CRM and customer success platform. Represent Portside at industry conferences and customer events as needed. Qualifications 5+ years of SaaS experience in Customer Success, Account Management, or a related enterprise customer-facing role, including direct ownership of strategic or enterprise-tier accounts. Demonstrated success managing a defined, multi-phase engagement model or playbook across onboarding, adoption, renewal, and expansion at the enterprise level.
