Partner with Finance to ensure alignment on how the funding model is applied to headcount distribution, and to proactively surface implications of funding changes on resource allocation
Partner with resource planning teams to understand and influence the model for how we determine how much CSM headcount each customer should receive, incorporating customer complexity, segment, and success plan type
Connect the headcount planning model to our GTM strategy, ensuring resource distribution decisions are grounded in how we go to market and the outcomes we are driving for our customers
Develop a point of view on the CSM role and jobs to be done, using that understanding to evaluate whether the funding model is appropriately reflecting the work required and advocating for changes where warranted
Determine requirements for reporting and work with our data and reporting teams to enhance and evolve our systems, data, and business processes — driving continuous improvement in how we measure and manage headcount planning
