Your Impact Strategic Leadership & Driving Outcomes:

• Architect and implement AMER-wide strategic initiatives to drastically improve post-sales productivity, forecast accuracy, and pipeline visibility.
• Partner deeply with AMER post-sales leadership to develop and execute strategies for scaling operations and consistently achieving aggressive churn and expand targets.
• Act as a senior change agent, identifying opportunities for optimization and championing the introduction of new tools, technologies, and methodologies.
• Lead complex, cross-functional projects that bridge the gap between global strategy and local AMER execution.

Proactive Diagnostics & Operations Support:

• Move the AMER region beyond reactive reporting by building and overseeing intelligent early warning and action systems that power the post-sales organization.
• Oversee the design, implementation, and optimization of highly complex post-sales processes, tools, and systems.
• Deliver clear, contextual, and diagnostic insights directly into the daily workflows of Customer Success Business Partners and Renewal Managers, telling them not just what is happening, but why it's happening.
• Ensure impeccable data accuracy and integrity within CRM and related systems, acting as the ultimate guardian of AMER operational data.
