Mission

Helping customers derive real value from their data - through trusting relationships and sustainable success with KNIME.

Role Overview

You’ll serve as a central point of contact, build strong relationships, and work closely with account managers and internal experts to translate customer goals into measurable value.

Responsibilities

• Guide customers through onboarding, enabling users and admins while accelerating time-to-value and building strong adoption foundations.

• Translate usage into measurable outcomes, align on success metrics, and ensure customers see continuous value from KNIME. 

• Run structured check-ins and business reviews to maintain alignment, highlight progress, and define next steps.

• Identify growth opportunities through usage patterns and stakeholder engagement, and partner with Account Managers to drive expansion.

• Ensure predictable renewals through early risk identification, clear value communication, and structured renewal planning.

• Depending on your focus, manage either strategic accounts with deep engagement or a broader portfolio through structured, repeatable motions and automation. 

Requirements

• You care deeply about helping customers succeed and can translate product capabilities into real business outcomes.

• You bring clarity and discipline to onboarding, success planning, and ongoing customer engagement.

• You focus on measurable impact, connecting usage and adoption to tangible business results.

• You build trust across stakeholders, from practitioners to executive sponsors and navigate complex organizations.
