• Take full ownership of timeline, rollout plan and handling of the account while the account is in implementation, including directing work through the internal team supporting customers and, in essence, being the subject matter expert in the area of change management.
• Coordinate and conduct training sessions for newly onboarded customers, including executive-level stakeholders and company-wide training.
