Database Administrator, Staff

The Business Systems Analyst plays a crucial role as a Gainsight administrator in driving value for customers across the lifecycle, thanks to the workflows they configure as a member of the Customer Success Operations team. The Business Systems Analyst will collaborate with cross-functional business teams to develop customer success strategies and craft the associated business requirements. They will 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.

The Business Systems Analyst will 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.
