As our Senior Performance & Optimisation Consultant, you'll proactively help customers improve business performance, adoption, and value realisation across their full journey with U4F by Coda.
Working pre and post-go live, you'll spot performance risks and optimisation opportunities early, combining SaaS expertise, process thinking, data insight, and hands-on AI experience to help customers get more value from Unit4.
You'll work alongside a Support Specialist and a Database Administrator, giving customers a proactive performance and optimisation capability.
Accountabilities & Responsibilities
- Run proactive performance reviews and customer health checks across implementation, transition, and live service.
- Assess pre-go live readiness across business process, adoption, data, and productivity.
- Spot performance risks and improvement opportunities before they become escalations.
- Set baselines and success criteria tied to adoption and value realisation goals.
- Analyse post-go live adoption and process data to recommend clear, actionable improvements.
- Advise customers on practical ways to use AI to automate work and boost productivity.
- Partner with Customer Success, Consulting, Support, Managed Services, and Product to drive measurable outcomes.
- Build repeatable playbooks and templates, and track the impact of your work.
