The Opportunity:

As a Service Account Professional, you will be responsible for serving as the primary point of contact for a portfolio of Gold (Tier 3) Recruitment Partners (RPs), providing end-to-end service for all of their application-level needs and escalations. You will be operating with the support of a small group of other SAPs, servicing the same region(s). Any inquiries you are not available to respond to will be handled by the team, and you will support your team members and their RPs in a similar manner. Your goal is to provide timely and impactful resolutions of escalated issues while fostering a positive business relationship. You will do this through proactive account and application level analysis, and by educating your accounts on how best to leverage ApplyBoard products and services.

• Maintain your customer portfolio with relevant events, challenges and preferences so that account health and status is discernible "at a glance" 

• Aid, advise or lead on projects as assigned by your leader to improve CX processes, tools or training to improve customer outcomes     

What you bring to the table:

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
