Job description

Our Professional Services (PS) team plays a key role in onboarding new customers and delivering functional, technical, and training services. The PS team works across teams (Sales, Product, and Customer Success) to implement 360Learning in our client’s ecosystem, empower stakeholders to make the most of their platform, and spread collaborative learning across their organization. The PS team is also responsible for additional services during the customer’s lifecycle.

You will coach a team of 12-15 consultants including Solution Delivery Managers (SDMs), and Digital Learning Specialists. Both of these teams have their own coach who will report directly into you.

"Our team is unique and composed of very talented people who are competent and positive. They will expect that you mentor them and help them grow in competencies." - Guillaume Vives, Chief Product & Technology Officer

Your mission includes:

  1. Support Sales to present our PS offering and provide quotes and statements of work.
  2. Engage with customer executive sponsors from sales to go live to ensure we build a strong long-term relationship.
  3. Manage a team of consultants working from their home office all over the country.
  4. Manage between 40 and 60 onboarding projects at any given time across North America.

What You'll Do

  • Customer Engagement: For each customer onboarding, create an engagement model. This could be a simple introduction at the kickoff (Small/Mid-Market accounts), or periodic meetings with the customer executive sponsors (Large Enterprise accounts).
  • Sales Support: Partner with our Sales team on calls with Enterprise customers to explain how our onboarding is delivered. You will also scope the level of effort for the customer onboarding, write SOWs, and present offered services to new customers.
  • Practice Management: Manage a team of 12-15 consultants. Conduct performance reviews, help with goal setting, and lead hiring and training of new employees. Build and maintain a capacity plan to ensure that we match the onboarding capacity needed to support our growth. Ensure that all time cards and project statuses are updated every Friday.
  • Pricing and Packaging: Continuously improve our pricing and packaging to meet the needs of clients across all market segments. Track hours spent by project type and work with the sales coaches to ensure packaging meets their go-to-market needs.
  • Partner Enablement: As a new project, you will implement a model where some of our Large Enterprise customer implementations will be delivered by partners. You will be in charge of the onboarding of the partners and the ongoing support.

  • Training
  • Project management from kick-off to go live
  • Workshops to define 360Learning platform architecture for our clients

  • Be introduced to a few customers and be able to participate in project kickoffs and project reviews.
