Customer Success Specialist

Help Manufacturers Get More Value From Every Investment Do you enjoy talking with customers just as much as you enjoy uncovering insights in data? Do you naturally notice patterns, identify opportunities, and take action before problems arise? We're looking for a Customer Success Specialist to help manufacturers maximize the value of the support, software, and services they've already invested in. This isn't a traditional customer service or sales role.

Instead, you'll combine customer communication with data analysis to proactively engage customers, improve utilization of their agreements, and help reduce contract churn. Every day, you'll analyze customer activity, identify opportunities where customers may not be realizing the full value of their agreements, and reach out by phone and email to help them understand available resources, services, and support. You'll partner closely with Account Managers and Customer Success Specialists to ensure every customer receives proactive engagement not just at renewal time.

As part of a growing national Customer Success organization, you'll help shape the future of how we engage thousands of customers across the Industrial Solutions Network.
