Contributing to product adoption: Help customers adopt the Sift platform features most relevant to their goals, and track progress toward measurable outcomes. Advocating for customers: Represent customer feedback and needs internally, partnering with senior CSMs and other teams on escalations. Supporting strategic business reviews: Help prepare and contribute to QBRs and other customer-facing reviews, with growing ownership as you build experience. Building product and industry expertise: Develop a working understanding of Sift’s product and the fraud landscape, and start contributing best practices back to the team.
