Role

The Customer Success team helps transit agencies take advantage of the various services offered by Cal-ITP. As an account manager, you will moderate and manage communication between Cal-ITP and the California transit agency customers assigned to you. You will be responsible for maintaining positive and supportive relationships with your assigned agencies and for identifying new opportunities to increase the quality of support provided by Cal-ITP.

You will also be expected to document interactions and agency information in our Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system and to maintain a high-level understanding of Cal-ITP’s various programs and how your agencies are engaging with them.

This role is client-facing. You’ll report to Anthony Rollins, and collaborate closely with Olivia Ramacier as well as with team members across Compiler and Cal-ITP, including the Payments, Mobility Service Data, and Data and Digital Services Teams. You’ll have access to modern tools to help you get your work done in a remote environment.

This is a full-time, salaried position (W-2) with benefits. Full-time employment at Compiler is thirty (30) hours per week.

Responsibilities

  • Proactive Customer Engagement You will be responsible for an assigned list of agencies and will be expected to own all communication with those agencies. Activities will include leading scripted introductory calls for newly engaged agencies, hosting an annual review with each agency via Zoom, conducting regular outreach via email regarding new Cal-ITP opportunities or services, and coordinating with other departments within Cal-ITP or Caltrans to streamline additional interactions with your agencies. You will receive training materials and support from teammates to guide you through these interactions. You will maintain documentation of all interactions in the CRM system. As Cal-ITP’s engagement with agencies evolves, you may be asked to provide support to additional agency customers or ad hoc support to agencies without an assigned account manager.

  • Reactive Customer Engagement You will field all incoming inquiries from the agencies assigned to you, as well as general inquiries or questions from transit agencies without an assigned account manager. This may include communication via email, the CRM, or video conference. You will be expected to develop a general understanding of all current Cal-ITP products and services, as well as an ability to confidently triage and route tickets to the appropriate technical specialist on the Cal-ITP team. You should be comfortable engaging with colleagues and technical specialists to get the appropriate answers to your customers’ questions. You may be asked to attend or moderate virtual meetings with technical specialists. You will document all interactions in the CRM.

  • Implementing the Account Manager program Over 2023, the Customer Success team has built a robust program to manage and solve many of our customers’ (transit agencies) needs. In the Summer of 2023, the team rolled out the account manager program to over 189 agencies in California. In this role, you will actively participate in implementing the account manager program developed by the Customer Success team at Cal-ITP. As a Customer Success team member, you will participate in efforts to improve and document processes for the account manager program.
