The overarching objective of the AI Specialist, Customer Success is to ensure Zendesk customers realize business value and outcomes from their investment in Zendesk’s Advanced AI Agents.

• Deliver a world-class customer experience anchored on getting our Zendesk customers to value as quickly as possible — Partner with Professional Services by engaging in customer onboarding by helping to define objectives, project scope and minimizing time-to-value. Ensure continued engagement after launch.
• Drive, enable and remove obstacles to adoption of Zendesk’s Advanced AI Agents — Keep engagement high through recurring outcome-driven engagement, committing to mutual Success Plans with each customer, outlining strategic goals, mutual initiatives, what measured success looks like, and a roadmap of future projects to drive solution sophistication, maximize value and secure renewal.
• Tirelessly advocate for the Zendesk customer across the ecosystem, including bringing prioritized & data-driven customer feedback and insight back into the Zendesk product development team.
• Deliver a heightened customer experience through proactive engagement and communication with the customer, both written and verbal. Provide prescriptive best practices, resources, expertise and continuously link customer adoption to quantified/qualified customer value & business outcomes.
• Develop strong relationships with customer leaders at all levels of an organization – from CIO and business leaders to IT experts, professionals and architects
  
  

• In addition to core customer-facing responsibilities above, AI Specialists, Customer Success must also be able to:
• Forge tight relationships with the rest of the Zendesk customer account team — including customer success, sales, support and professional services.
