• Contribute to improving long-term retention strategy by identifying patterns in churn drivers and influencing cross-functional improvements to product, onboarding, and customer experience.
• Adapt quickly to evolving processes, tools, and product updates in a growing environment where customer needs and solutions continue to evolve.
• Become an ambassador of our culture by being humble, supportive – and someone who truly gives a shit!
