Who are we looking for? Is this opportunity a good fit for you?

• Bazaarvoice are client-obsessed and as the job title suggest, this is a heavily client-orientated role so we’re expecting you to possess the same passion and drive too! Firstly, you’ll be responsible for owning a portfolio of circa 30 accounts, so you must have a highly disciplined and organised approach to servicing clients and prioritising your day-to-day work. You’ll be someone who can build trust and rapport when developing and owning client relationships through phone, emails and in-person meetings. This role is autonomous in that you’ll be able to manage your own time around clients’ availability.
• You’ll love discovering the clients’ internal business success metrics and be able to advise, influence, and define key value measurements. This will include recommending strategies and tactics to achieve the results desired by your clients. You will ensure that your clients stay on track in their execution of their success plans, so educating and helping them understand the value they are receiving from Bazaarvoice’s solutions is essential. This also includes consulting clients to promote and leverage customer-generation content for their websites and other channels (online and offline).
• You’ll also be a very strong planner and be able to look 6 months ahead of each client’s contract renewal and facilitate that process. You’ll be proactive in identifying and advocating opportunities to expand the scope of Bazaarvoice’s footprint within the client’s business. Finally, you’ll also advocate internally for client needs within Bazaarvoice and ensure your individual customer achievements are recognised internally too.
