Customer Education and Communities Manager

About the role

Kustomer is hiring a Customer Education and Communities Manager to build and own a net-new function within our CX organization. You'll design and run the programs that help our customers, partners, and community get maximum value from Kustomer - accelerating time-to-value, improving retention, and enabling our partner ecosystem to scale. This is a high-leverage, senior IC role reporting to the Chief Revenue Officer. You'll operate as a one-person product enablement and customer education function, using AI tooling and automation to produce content, manage community, and run analytics at an increasingly accelerated scale. We're looking for someone who's excited about this model and can translate product capabilities into adoption motions across multiple audiences. Key impacts include: Product Adoption Rates - closing the usage gap across all features, as we continue to ship new capabilities at pace. Faster Time to Value - empowering partners and customers to move to live deployment with greater speed and independence. Gross Revenue Retention (GRR) - by optimizing product onboarding, deepening product adoption, and ensuring our customer base derives greater value from everything we ship. This is a one-person function operating at the scale of a team - leveraging AI tooling and automation across content, analytics, and community management.

Responsibilities

• Centralizing Customer Onboarding Content. Consolidate onboarding material into a coherent program and own it going forward. Build the in-product education, guides, and adoption motions that get customers to value faster - directly feeding GRR.
• Centralizing Partner-Facing Resources. Build an enhanced partner enablement program: certification, configuration playbooks, design templates, and implementation guides that let partners deliver independently and accelerate time to value across our customer base.
• Centralizing Community Management. Run Kustomer's customer community as a managed channel - Slack, forums, and the cadences around them - that deflects routine product questions, creates peer-to-peer learning, and feeds adoption and retention.
• Driving Product Adoption. Translate Kustomer's product capabilities into adoption motions that close knowledge gaps through targeted content, in-product education, and feature-specific campaigns tied to real usage data.
• Enablement Analytics. Track the metrics that prove the outcomes: GRR lift attributable to enablement programs, feature-level adoption rates, time-to-value benchmarks, partner certification completion, internal team product confidence scores, and content engagement. Report on ROI and iterate.
