Job Description
• Expand the advocate network: Build a diverse and dynamic advocate base that reflects our global customer footprint. Drive ongoing recruitment through strategic campaigns, collaboration with Sales and CS teams, and direct customer outreach.
• Manage and scale the customer advocate database: Ensure the database is a reliable source of truth with up-to-date profiles and engagement data, enabling internal teams to efficiently self-serve and find the right advocate for their needs.
• Lead the customer reference program: Evolve the program to meet growing demand across go-to-market teams. Maintain and enhance reference management systems in partnership with Marketing Ops, streamline workflows, prioritize requests, and deliver exceptional customer experiences.
• Empower Sales to win more efficiently: Integrate references into the sales cycle to boost win rates and shorten deal times. Partner strategically with Sales to deliver the right customer references at the right time through hands-on support, self-service options, or ongoing advocate engagements, while ensuring a seamless and positive customer experience.
• Drive program adoption and enablement: Develop documentation, create training materials, and run enablement sessions for cross-functional teams. Ensure seamless adoption across global regions and address stakeholder issues as they arise.
• Foster advocate engagement at scale: Establish lifecycle-style approach to continuously engage advocates, going beyond one-off references or acts of advocacy. Build a sense of community among advocates that strengthens the Samsara brand; this may include but is not limited to a clear reference program onboarding process, gamification, rewards, and a customer-facing portal.
• Measure and optimize program impact: Analyze program performance to improve reference efficacy, drive adoption, and align with business goals. Gather feedback from internal stakeholders and continuously refine the program for maximum impact, leveraging AI and automation workflows to optimize efficiency and performance of the program.
