You will advocate for customers internally, facilitating the resolution of issues through coordination with various internal teams, including technical support, services, sales, product development, and executive leadership. Additionally, you will work closely with relevant teams to proactively address customers' critical issues, recommend environment upgrades or add-ons, and ensure readiness for upgrades. Your ability to detail, communicate, and understand customer needs will be essential in relaying information to fellow account team members and Splunk leadership. Keeping customers informed about key information that may impact their success, such as product roadmaps, new releases, and special events, will also be part of your responsibilities. You will analyze customer issues and interactions to recommend necessary education and additional services, engaging with internal teams for delivery.
