• Growth and expansion: Support long-term success by reflecting with clients on the impact of our partnership, by identifying ways to add value and spotting opportunities to expand relationships, whether through new teams, new roles, or referrals.
• Process improvement and documentation: Contribute to scaling Tana by helping standardise and automate Client Success processes, while maintaining clear documentation of client feedback, contract renewals, and key account milestones to support proactive follow-up and smooth execution.
