Customer Success Specialist, Higher Education
About the role
Job Summary:
As a Customer Success Specialist, you play a critical role in driving scalable customer engagement and adoption outcomes across a broad book of business. Rather than focusing primarily on individual account delivery, this role is responsible for designing, executing, and continuously improving repeatable adoption frameworks, programs, and risk mitigation plays that can be leveraged across customer segments or verticals.
Leveraging strong knowledge of education technology, change management, and customer health drivers, you analyze trends across your book of business to anticipate needs, reduce risk, and improve engagement at scale. Success in this role is measured by the effectiveness, reach, and sustainability of adoption and enablement programs, as well as their impact on customer outcomes, retention, and long-term platform value.
How you will make an impact:
- Analyze customer health and adoption data across an entire book of business to identify trends, risks, and opportunities for scalable interventions.
- Design, implement, and optimize repeatable adoption, enablement, and risk mitigation plays that can be delivered through one-to-many and automated approaches.
- Develop and maintain scalable adoption playbooks aligned to customer segments or verticals, ensuring consistency and impact across diverse customer populations.
- Deliver enablement content and experiences (e.g., webinars, guides, workshops, campaigns) that support adoption at scale.
- Monitor and guide customer journey activities through automation, with targeted direct intervention when necessary.
- Partner with internal teams (Sales, Product, Support) to align programs, surface systemic insights, and influence improvement beyond individual customers.
- Maintain awareness of platform enhancements, customer behavior patterns, and industry best practices to evolve adoption strategies over time.
- Assess the downstream impact of adoption initiatives, considering not only immediate effectiveness but scalability, reusability, and long-term value across the customer base.
