What You’ll Do - Own the strategy and execution for customer enablement and learning across Applied’s software portfolio. - Lead, develop, and evolve a team currently responsible for private, customer-specific training and scalable virtual group learning programs. - Design customer learning journeys that support onboarding, proficiency, advanced usage, and ongoing optimization. - Ensure learning experiences are role-based, workflow-oriented, and outcome-driven, not feature-centric. - Balance tailored private training with repeatable, scalable virtual learning models that meet customers at different stages of maturity. - Partner closely with Onboarding & Success Services leaders, Support, Product, and Sales to align learning experiences to implementation milestones and customer goals. - Establish quality standards and expectations for learning design, delivery, and customer experience. - Use adoption data, customer feedback, and health indicators to continuously refine learning approaches. - Forecast demand and manage capacity to deliver high-quality learning experiences at scale. - Serve as a senior leader within Onboarding & Success Services, shaping how customer learning supports broader adoption and success outcomes.
