Who We Want
Job
This is a senior account management role within our Global Brands team. As our Global Brands Client Success Director (CSD), you’ll own the long-term relationship and regional program strategy for a number of our largest global brands accounts.
Your core focus when consulting with clients will include:
• Developing a deep understanding of the client business and their priorities.
• Working with them to develop a strategic and innovative Social Commerce program that will drive measurable success.
• Analysing your clients’ business goals and matching these with the most impactful Bazaarvoice activity – and partnering with the different teams internally to deliver on this.
• Collaborating with your cross-regionally-situated peers to drive KPIs which map to overarching global goals.
Is this opportunity a good fit for you?
Bazaarvoice is a client-centric organization. As the job title suggests, this role is heavily focused on engaging with clients and advocating on their behalf. You’ll be responsible for owning a portfolio of key Global Brands accounts (with a focus on European-based business). You’ll coordinate and collaborate with your Bazaarvoice CSD counterparts in North America (and APAC) to ensure holistic value is delivered across the globe.
You must have a highly disciplined and organized approach to servicing clients and prioritising your day-to-day work. You’ll be someone who can build trust and rapport when developing and owning client relationships through phone, emails and in-person meetings. This role is autonomous in that you’ll be able to manage your own time around clients’ availability.
You’ll love discovering the clients’ internal business success metrics and be able to advise, influence, and define key ROI measurements. This will include recommending strategies and tactics to achieve the results desired by your clients. You’ll ensure that your clients stay on track in their execution of their success plans, so educating and helping them understand the value they are receiving from Bazaarvoice’s solutions is essential. This also includes consulting clients to promote and leverage customer-generation content for their websites and other channels (online and offline).
Moreover, you’ll also be a very strong planner and be able to look 6 months ahead of each client’s contract renewal and facilitate that process. You’ll be proactive in identifying and advocating opportunities to expand the scope of Bazaarvoice’s footprint within the client’s business. Finally, you’ll also advocate internally for client needs within Bazaarvoice and ensure your individual customer achievements are recognised internally too.
Summary
This role is vital to ensure our Global Brands clients are successful with Bazaarvoice, and realize ROI. You are going to be working in the vibrant and exciting area of social commerce with some of the world’s leading brands. If you have the relevant experience and up for this new challenge, please apply today!
