• Own regional execution of the customer-adoption program in partnership with Customer Success Managers. Prioritize accounts using customer outcomes, adoption health, annual recurring revenue, retention risk, contractual commitments, and growth potential.

• Act as a trusted partner to Customer Success leadership and account teams by providing timely visibility to customer health, adoption progress, value realization, escalations, resource constraints, and recommended interventions.
• Manage team capacity and deployment across implementation, adoption, acceleration-plan, non-billable intervention, training, pre-sales, and escalation support. Maintain an accurate resource forecast, make explicit prioritization decisions, and ensure effort is aligned to the highest-value customer outcomes.
• Drive disciplined delivery and measurable impact, including implementation readiness, adoption milestones, time to value, utilization, customer satisfaction, quality, margin, retention support, and expansion enablement. Establish clear operating rhythms and follow through on commitments.
• Use industry experience, equipment knowledge, software expertise, and consultative skills to guide solution design and enablement for predictive analytics, asset performance management, and other digital offerings.
• Build repeatable methods, templates, playbooks, and knowledge-sharing practices that improve implementation consistency and adoption outcomes across the team. Promote practical use of automation and AI within approved governance.
• Use Lean as the team’s operating system to focus on customer value, standard work, daily management, root-cause problem solving, and continuous improvement. Integrate applicable quality frameworks and customer-focused KPIs into team execution.
• Use voice-of-customer, employee-engagement, and delivery feedback to improve team effectiveness and customer experience. Create an environment in which team members raise risks early, learn from mistakes, and act on feedback.
• Interpret internal and external business challenges, industry trends, and customer needs to recommend improvements to products, services, processes, and go-to-market execution. Represent the Americas consulting perspective in cross-functional decisions.
• Lead complex cross-functional initiatives and customer escalations with moderate-to-high risk or ambiguity. Communicate clearly with leaders and customers, challenge conflicting or incomplete information, negotiate priorities, and mobilize the right resources to achieve outcomes.

• Strong oral and written communication skills, including the ability to communicate complex technical and business issues clearly to executives and customers.
• Strong interpersonal and leadership skills, with a record of coaching senior talent, building followership, and creating accountability in a matrixed organization.
