• Drive product satisfaction: Ensure pros understand and adopt high-impact features; provide feedback loops to Product for improvement.
• Renewals and expansion: Support your team in executing renewals and identifying upsell opportunities with structure and consistency.
• Data-driven leadership: Monitor metrics (NRR, GRR, churn rate, CSAT, adoption, TTV); use insights in 1:ls and team reviews to drive performance.
• Process excellence: Implement playbooks for onboarding, adoption, renewal, and QBRs; identify process gaps and propose fixes.
• Cross-functional collaboration: Partner with Product, Marketing, and Sales to communicate Pro feedback and influence improvements.
• Talent development: Conduct regular coaching sessions, monitor progress toward goals, and celebrate wins that model Thumbtack's values.
• Pro advocacy: Encourage Pros to share success stories and promote Thumbtack through testimonials and case studies.
