  • Lead complex customer escalations and coordinate cross-functional teams to deliver exceptional customer outcomes. 
  • Travel regularly to customer sites for executive meetings, strategic planning sessions, and business reviews, including hosting customers at Freshworks offices when appropriate. 
  • 10-12+ years of experience in Customer Success, Enterprise Consulting, Technical Account Management, or Enterprise Account Management within SaaS
  • Experience managing large Strategic Enterprise customer portfolios with significant revenue responsibility 
  • Demonstrated success building trusted partnerships with C-suite executives and senior business leaders
