Administrator

Overview:
Your Purpose

Gainsight Administrators play a crucial role in driving value for customers
across the lifecycle, thanks to the workflows they configure as a member of the
Customer Success Operations team.
Gainsight Administrators collaborate with cross-functional business teams to
develop customer success strategies and craft the associated business
requirements. They translate these requirements into technical designs that
they implement in Gainsight and, at times, integrated systems such as CRMs
like Salesforce, while adhering to systems administration best practices.
Gainsight Administrators then train team members and business partners to
use the workflows they?ve set up, teach users best practices, ensure successful
technical deployments on a recurring basis, and engage in daily problem
solving to ensure the team can use the system productively. Altogether, they
create and manage scalable processes and solutions on the Gainsight platform
to support business goals.

A Gainsight Administrator position may be one component of a broader
Customer Success Operations role, or it may be a full-time position
