Who We Want
Bazaarvoice in APAC
Based in Surry Hills we have a small and culturally diverse local team responsible for the success of our Asia Pacific business. Our clients include a majority of Australia’s largest retailers as well as global and local brands. The region has a start-up vibe that benefits from the support of a larger global company. We are client obsessed, work hard and have a team culture that is both entrepreneurial and fun. Weekly team lunches and the flexibility to work from home one day a week are enjoyed by the APAC team.
Job Overview
This is an account management role and as our Client Success Director (CSD), you will own the long-term relationship with a number of key brands and retailers. Your success is based on client retention and growth. The 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 are client obsessed and as the job title suggests, this is a heavily client orientated role so we’re expecting you to possess the same passion and drive too! Firstly, you’ll be responsible for owning a portfolio of circa 25 accounts, so you must have a highly disciplined and organised approach to servicing clients simultaneously and in a programmatic manner. You’ll be someone who can comfortably prioritise your workload and easily build trust and rapport when developing and owning client relationships through phone, email, events and in person. 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 desired results. You will ensure that key 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, advocating and closing 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 in ensuring we forge on going and excellent strategic relationships with our clients. 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!
