  • Own and operate the Adoption Council, a quarterly forum aligning Product, PMM, CAE, and CO leadership on key insights, Tier 1 feature focus areas, and adoption strategies.
  • Summarize product feedback as part of our Product Business Review process, translating adoption data into actionable insights for our product team that can inform roadmap decisions.
  • Design and optimize automated adoption journeys and risk-based playbooks across the entire post-sale lifecycle.

  • Support introduction and pilot of an Implementation Score to improve visibility into early customer health.
  • Ensure scores surface clear, actionable prioritization for CSMs/CAEs and tie directly to renewal risk signals and opportunity identification.

  • Partner with Product, BI, PMM, and Enablement to define telemetry requirements, evaluate 30/60/90 day adoption performance, and surface customer friction.

  • Identify and coordinate customer communications or in-product changes needed to support adoption.
  • Build and own a repeatable framework for measuring adoption lift attributable to training, certification, Accelerators, self-service content, and in-product guidance.
  • Partner with Product, Sales, and early customers to define MVP adoption motions for incubation products (e.g., Jurist).
  • Ensure emerging product teams have the data, insights, and playbooks needed for successful customer onboarding and expansion.
  • Collaborate with Documentation, Learning Experience, and Product to identify where AI-powered help, walkthroughs, or in-product guidance can reduce customer effort and accelerate adoption.
