• Utilize a hunter and farmer approach to both maintain and expand customer relationships.
• Own outbound prospecting, pitching, and closing within existing accounts to drive revenue growth.
• Daily activities include conducting approximately 20 outbound dials to your current book of business.
• Hold around 6 meetings with your customers each day to support relationship development and drive expansion revenue goals.
• Use AI-powered workflows as a core part of how you sell: running assigned tools daily, surfacing friction and inefficiencies as you find them, and collaborating with your team to influence what gets built or improved next.

Prioritization & Agility

• Use data-driven insights to prioritize accounts, ensuring focus on the highest-impact opportunities.
• React quickly to customer needs while maintaining a proactive, strategic approach to retention and expansion.
• Align with internal teams to ensure customers receive best-in-class service and product solutions.

Here’s what we're looking for:

• Proven 3+ years experience in B2B SaaS Customer Success, Account Management, or Sales with a track record of driving retention and expansion revenue. 
• Experience in managing a large book of business and operating at scale. 
• Strong ability to analyze customer data, assess account health, and execute targeted outreach.
• Excellent relationship management and communication skills with a consultative, customer-first approach.
• Deep understanding of Gusto’s products and the ability to translate customer pain points into tailored solutions.
• A strategic mindset with the ability to prioritize, adapt, and execute in a fast-paced environment.
• Proven, day-to-day experience integrating AI into how you work - across writing, research, prep, and summarization as a core part of your workflow, with a track record of giving clear, useful feedback that helps improve your tools and processes.

If you're passionate about driving customer success, maximizing retention, and uncovering growth opportunities, we’d love to hear from you!
