Customer Success support will become available once a customer reaches the applicable ARR threshold. Your responsibilities will include: Creating, validating, owning and executing a data-led territory and account plan that sets out how you will achieve an annual net-new ARR target of approximately $900,000 USD once fully ramped.

Using account intelligence, industry trends, SKU performance and growth data to prioritise target accounts, identify whitespace and focus resources on the strongest ARR opportunities. Personally sourcing pipeline through disciplined prospecting, executive outreach, networking, events, social selling and account-based activity. Working with the BDR to increase coverage and accelerate opportunity creation, while retaining personal ownership of pipeline generation and territory performance.
