dbt Labs is seeking a Customer Solutions Architect to help customers maximize value from their dbt Cloud deployment, focusing on driving customer satisfaction, renewal, and expansion. The role involves monitoring customer accounts, leading technical discussions, showcasing dbt Cloud's capabilities, and acting as the voice of the customer to product teams. This is a post-sales role requiring a strong technical background in data warehousing and SQL, with experience in customer-facing roles.

What you'd actually do

  1. Manage a portfolio of Commercial or Enterprise customers and proactively monitor the health of your accounts, product adoption, and utilization across your book of business to identify opportunities for potential expansion and churn or contraction risks
  2. Improve customer loyalty and retention through building and maintaining strong relationships with key technical stakeholders within customer accounts, and understanding their analytics needs and use cases to determine where dbt Cloud can help them achieve their goals
  3. Increase the value customers obtain from dbt Cloud through educating your customer base on new products and features as they are launched and on existing products and features that they may not be making use of
  4. Collaborate closely with Sales Directors and Solutions Architects on your accounts, building strong trust-based relationships and providing strategic input on the customer lifecycle and renewals processes
  5. Be the voice of the customer in product discussions, work with the team to improve the way we work together, and participate in other cross-functional activities
