Be the Architect of Customer Success
The initial 90 days of our customer relationship are pivotal. We are in search of a dedicated individual who can facilitate smooth transitions for businesses transferring their IT Managed Services to Focus Group. This role requires a blend of technical expertise, project management, and a strong customer-centric approach to ensure that each onboarding experience is truly outstanding.
Your Key Responsibilities
As the primary point of contact, you will guide new customers from the moment they sign the contract to becoming fully integrated and confident users of our services. This role goes beyond mere project management or technical execution; it demands complete responsibility for customer success during this critical phase of their journey with us.
You will oversee comprehensive transitions from previous providers, develop detailed onboarding plans, conduct project meetings (including onsite visits as necessary), and ensure that each department is involved at precisely the right moment. You will collaborate directly with customers throughout their transition and the first 90 days, proactively identifying risks, facilitating their access to our systems, and ensuring that any issues raised by our support team are addressed promptly.
This position merges technical knowledge with customer relationship management. You will perform documentation checks, work with engineers on technical onboarding tasks, outline customer processes such as joiner/leaver protocols and device configuration standards, and track everything from renewal dates to automation prospects. You will also assist in discovery processes during later sales stages, helping to establish realistic expectations before transitions commence.
Should any risks arise during onboarding, you will engage openly with customers and sales teams to address them. You will also identify upsell opportunities and communicate them to the appropriate individuals. Throughout your tenure, you will play a crucial role in enhancing our overall customer onboarding processes.
