You should be comfortable discussing API management, microservices, or cloud infrastructure. • A proven track record of building automated customer journeys and utilizing CS platforms (e.g., Gainsight, Totango, ChurnZero) to drive scale. • Ability to translate complex data sets into actionable retention strategies and accurate financial forecasts.
