3What this role really is

This role involves supporting customers day to day, helping them set up a product and use its basics, while working alongside more experienced coordinators.

4What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

Salesforce Intermediate

Navigating customer accounts, logging calls and emails, updating contact details, and running pre-built reports on your assigned accounts. This is where all our customer info lives.

Gainsight Intermediate

Executing assigned playbooks (e.g., welcome series), logging CTAs (Calls to Action), updating customer health scores based on clear criteria, and preparing basic account overviews for your manager.

Zendesk Basic

Viewing and tracking customer support tickets, linking them to Salesforce cases, and understanding their current status. You'll provide context to support agents when needed.

Jira Basic

Submitting clear bug reports or feature requests on behalf of customers, making sure all the necessary details are there. You'll also track the status of tickets relevant to your accounts.

Tableau Basic

Interpreting and using pre-built dashboards to see regional customer health, adoption rates, and NPS scores. You'll be able to apply basic filters to look at your own accounts.

Confluence Intermediate

Using our internal knowledge base to find answers to customer questions, contributing to existing articles, and documenting simple customer-specific notes or processes.

Slack Intermediate

Actively participating in internal team channels, providing timely updates on customer issues, and using threads to keep conversations organised. You'll also use it for quick queries to internal teams.

5What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choice	Coming in	Where you are now	The step above
Customer Issue Resolution	Follow pre-defined scripts/playbooks for common issues. Escalate anything complex, technical, or emotional to your manager or Customer Support.	Independently resolve most routine issues. Decide when to pull in other teams (Product, Engineering) for non-critical bugs or feature requests.	Decide on the best course of action for major customer escalations, including involving leadership. Authorise workarounds or temporary solutions within defined guidelines.
Customer Communication	Use approved templates for welcome emails, onboarding follow-ups. Get manager review for any sensitive or non-routine communication.	Draft and send most customer communications independently. Consult manager for highly sensitive or strategic messages.	Approve customer communication strategies for key accounts. Represent the company in high-stakes customer meetings.
Account Health & Risk Management	Monitor health scores and flag 'red' accounts to manager. Provide data for risk assessments.	Independently execute 'at-risk' playbooks. Propose mitigation strategies for accounts in your book of business.	Lead the strategy for turning around at-risk accounts. Make recommendations on resource allocation for churn prevention.
Process Improvement	Identify minor inefficiencies in your own workflow and suggest improvements to your manager.	Propose and implement improvements to existing playbooks or internal processes for your team.	Design and lead the implementation of new processes or tools across the regional team.

6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Onboarding Task Completion Rate

Percentage of assigned onboarding tasks (e.g., setting up user accounts, scheduling initial training calls, sending welcome emails) completed on time.

Target · 95%+ on time

If you're given 20 onboarding tasks this week, we'd expect you to finish at least 19 of them by Friday afternoon. Missing a few is okay, but consistently missing them isn't.

Customer Activity Logging Accuracy

Percentage of customer interactions (calls, emails, notes) accurately logged in Salesforce or Gainsight within 24 hours of the interaction.

Target · 98% accuracy

Your manager reviews 50 of your recent logged activities and finds only one where a key detail was missing or the wrong account was selected. That's 49/50, or 98%.

Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) on Interactions

Average satisfaction score from customers after specific interactions you've had with them, usually through a quick survey.

Target · 4.5/5 average

After helping a customer with a basic query, they give you a 5-star rating. We're looking for consistent positive feedback on your direct interactions.

Product Adoption Support Rate

The percentage of new customers you've supported who successfully use at least 3 core features within their first 30 days.

Target · 80% of supported accounts

Out of 10 new accounts you helped onboard last month, 8 of them are now regularly using our reporting dashboard, user management, and data import features. That's a good result.

Proactive Learning & Initiative

How quickly you pick up new processes, tools, and product knowledge, and your willingness to ask questions and take on new tasks without being explicitly told.

You'll be asking 'how does this work?' or 'can I help with that?' You'll have completed all mandatory training modules ahead of schedule. Your manager won't have to chase you to learn new things. You might even suggest a better way to do a small task you've picked up.

Team Collaboration & Support

Your ability to work effectively with your immediate team, offering help when needed and being a reliable partner.

Other team members will mention you're helpful. You'll respond quickly to internal Slack messages. You'll offer to take on a task if someone is swamped, even if it's not strictly 'your' job. You're easy to work with and contribute to a positive team atmosphere.

Problem-Solving on Routine Issues

Your effectiveness in resolving common, well-defined customer issues by following established procedures or finding the right internal resource.

You'll be able to answer common 'how-to' questions from customers without escalating. When you do escalate, you'll have already gathered all the necessary information. You won't just pass the buck
you'll try to find the answer first.

Data Hygiene & Record Keeping

The accuracy and completeness of the customer data you're responsible for maintaining in our CRM and CS platforms.

Your customer records in Salesforce/Gainsight are always up-to-date. Contact information is correct. You've linked all relevant support tickets. There are no missing notes from calls you've had. Your manager doesn't find errors when they spot-check your accounts.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Helping People Solve Problems

You get a genuine kick out of guiding a customer through a tricky setup or showing them how to use a feature that makes their life easier. It's the 'aha!' moment for them that makes your day.

A customer calls, completely stuck on how to import their data. You patiently walk them through it, and by the end of the call, they're thanking you profusely, genuinely relieved. That's your fuel.

Learning & Development

You're excited by the idea of mastering new software, understanding customer psychology, and learning the ins and outs of a SaaS business. You see every task as a chance to pick up something new.

You're always asking your manager for feedback, signing up for internal training sessions, and trying to understand the 'why' behind our processes. You're building your skill set from the ground up.

Being Part of a Supportive Team

You enjoy working with others, contributing to a shared goal, and knowing you have colleagues to lean on when you're unsure. You like the camaraderie and the feeling of being in it together.

You're the first to offer help if a teammate is struggling with a tricky customer, or you're happy to cover someone's calls if they need a break. You value that team spirit.

What frustrates people

Dealing with basic customer questions that could be answered by reading the help documentation (yes, it happens a lot).
Spending time correcting data entry errors from other teams, just so you can do your job properly.
Having to escalate an issue and then waiting for an internal team to get back to you, while the customer is still waiting.
Feeling like you're just 'passing on messages' rather than solving the big problems.
The occasional grumpy customer who just wants to vent, and you're the one on the receiving end.

What this role does not give you

Immediate strategic influence or decision-making authority.
A quiet, predictable routine with no urgent requests.
The ability to fix complex product bugs yourself.
A role where you only interact with happy customers.

8Who you work with

You're directly responsible for making sure new customers get off to a good start. Your work helps reduce early churn and makes the more senior team members' lives easier by handling routine tasks. Get it right, and you build trust from day one; get it wrong, and you create headaches for everyone further down the line.

Inside the business

Customer Success Coordinators (L2/L3)
Customer Support Team
Sales Team (for new account handovers)
Product Team (for basic bug reporting)

Outside the business

New Customer Contacts (end-users, basic administrators)
Existing Customer End-Users (for support queries)

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

A genuine desire to help people and solve their problems.
Some prior experience in a customer-facing role (e.g., retail, hospitality, call centre, or a previous internship).
Basic computer literacy, including using email, calendars, and common office software (like Google Workspace or Microsoft Office).
The ability to communicate clearly, both in writing and verbally, in English.
A proactive attitude towards learning new software and processes.

10What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced CRM/CSM Platform Configuration (Salesforce/Gainsight)

As you become more familiar with our platforms, you'll start to see ways to make them work better for you and your team. Being able to build custom reports, set up basic automation, or even suggest new fields will make you much more valuable.

Custom Report Building · Basic Workflow Automation · Data Model Awareness

This month: Complete all available online training modules for Salesforce reporting and Gainsight basics.
Next month: Ask a senior colleague to show you how they build a custom report in Salesforce; try to replicate it for a simple use case.
Month 3: Identify one small, repetitive task you do in Gainsight and ask your manager if there's a way to automate it with a simple rule.
Month 4: Start documenting small tips and tricks you learn about the platforms and share them with your team.

Quick win: Challenge yourself to build one new report in Salesforce each week that tells you something useful about your accounts, even if it's just 'accounts with no activity in the last 7 days'.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Completing all internal product and tool training modules within your first 3 months.
Shadowing senior Customer Success Coordinators on customer calls and internal meetings to learn best practices.
Actively participating in our internal Customer Success community on Slack, asking questions and sharing insights.
Attending industry webinars or reading articles on customer success trends (we'll share plenty of resources!).
Seeking regular feedback from your manager and peers, and actively working on areas for improvement.

AI-Assisted Communication & Summarisation

AI tools are getting incredibly good at drafting emails, summarising long conversations, and even suggesting responses. This isn't just a 'nice to have' anymore; it's becoming a standard way to work efficiently and keep up with customer demands.

Prompt Engineering (Basic)
Output Validation
Ethical AI Use

Data Literacy (Beyond Dashboards)

While you'll start by just reading dashboards, understanding where the data comes from and what it actually means is going to be crucial. Customers will expect you to back up your advice with numbers, and you'll need to know if those numbers are reliable.

15Where this role leads

The long view: This work can lead to a senior coordinator role, or a lead position designing customer success strategy.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Associate Regional Customer Success Coordinator is actually changing.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a lot of customer success work involves repetitive tasks. Imagine if you could get back almost a full day each week, just by using smart tools. That's what AI can do for you here.

We're not talking about replacing you; we're talking about making your job easier and letting you focus on the human connection. Our team is already using AI to cut down on the administrative burden, and you'll be trained on how to use these tools from day one.

QBR Prep Automation (Drafting)

Instead of manually pulling every single data point for a QBR, you'll use an AI tool that gathers customer usage data from Tableau, recent support tickets from Zendesk, and key activities from Gainsight. It'll then give you a first-draft summary, saving you loads of time on the initial grunt work. You'll then review and refine it, not start from scratch.

Proactive Risk Detection (Alerts)

Our AI system will analyse sentiment across customer emails and support tickets, flagging accounts that might be getting unhappy, even if their usage numbers look fine. You'll get alerts, meaning you can bring these to your manager's attention much faster, helping us prevent churn before it's too late. It's like having an extra pair of eyes, constantly watching out for trouble.

Instant Account Intelligence (Summaries)

Before you jump on a call, an AI assistant can quickly generate a one-page brief for you. This means you'll get a summary of the customer's company, any recent news, and key details from their account history. No more scrambling through various tabs; you'll be prepped and ready to go in minutes, sounding much more knowledgeable.

Smart Meeting Follow-ups (Drafting)

After a customer call, an AI tool can record, transcribe, and summarise the conversation. It'll even identify action items, who owns them, and deadlines. It then drafts a follow-up email for you to review and send. This means less time writing notes and more time actually doing the follow-up work, or just moving onto the next customer.
