  • Establish and maintain a clear, outcomes‑driven engagement plan aligned to the customer's business, legal, and operational priorities.
  • Ensure services and platform usage deliver measurable business value and return on investment.

Trusted Advisor & Relationship Management

  • Build and sustain strong relationships with senior customer stakeholders across legal, IT, security, and executive teams.
  • Act as a consultative partner, proactively identifying evolving needs and providing strategic guidance across eDiscovery and adjacent service areas.

Program Delivery & Cross‑Functional Leadership

  • Own delivery governance and execution, ensuring services are delivered on time, within scope, and in alignment with contractual commitments.
  • Coordinate and lead delivery across multiple service lines, private pods, and internal teams to drive consistent execution.
  • Identify delivery risks early and drive mitigation strategies to resolution.

Internal Advocacy & Delivery Alignment

  • Represent customer priorities internally to align delivery execution across Professional Services, Product, Support, Sales, and Operations.
  • Navigate complex internal and external dependencies to resolve issues and maintain delivery momentum.

Growth Enablement & Opportunity Identification

  • Partner closely with Sales to identify, shape, and support expansion and upsell opportunities.
  • Contribute to account planning and long‑term strategy, positioning additional services and capabilities that drive increased account value.

Strategic Judgment & Prioritization

  • Exercise independent judgment when balancing competing priorities within complex enterprise environments.
  • Optimize decision‑making to support long‑term account stability while delivering near‑term commitments.

Domain Expertise & Scaled Impact

  • Apply deep expertise in eDiscovery, SaaS delivery, and enterprise customer operations to solve complex challenges.
  • Capture and apply insights from account engagements to inform scalable delivery models and best practices for similarly sized enterprise customers.

WHAT IT TAKES TO SUCCEED

  • 7+ years of experience in customer‑facing roles such as Program Management, Account Management, or Professional Services leadership, preferably within SaaS.
  • Deep experience in eDiscovery, legal technology, or adjacent enterprise platforms.
  • Proven ability to build credibility and trust with senior and executive‑level stakeholders.
  • Strong business acumen with a strategic mindset and a bias toward action.
  • Exceptional communication, facilitation, and cross‑functional leadership skills.
  • Demonstrated ability to identify growth opportunities and drive execution in partnership with Sales.
  • Comfortable operating in high‑stakes, complex, enterprise customer environments.

Preferred

  • Experience supporting private cloud or dedicated SaaS deployments.
  • Familiarity with enterprise security, compliance, and data governance requirements.
