Customer Adoption and Values Lead- Education

Join OneAdvanced

Join Our Dynamic Team at OneAdvanced: Shaping the Future of Training Providers

We're seeking an exceptional Customer Adoption & Values Lead to join our talented team at OneAdvanced, a leading software supplier to the UK's education sector. As a key member of our team, you will play a pivotal role in cultivating and maintaining strategic partnerships with our existing customer base, supporting growth and strategic objectives through the effective use of our leading software solutions. This role directly contributes to OneAdvanced's mission of "powering the world of work".

What You Will Do

As Customer Adoption and Values Lead, you will protect and strengthen high-ARR strategic Independent Training Provider (ITP) accounts through proactive customer engagement, product adoption and value realisation. You will directly manage a number of strategic ITP accounts outside the IQ Education Campaign, where there is limited remaining whitespace but a critical need to protect retention. You will also provide targeted wrap-around support to accounts nominated by Account Managers, improving customer health and readiness for MYA, renewal and growth conversations.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategic account stewardship: Own relationship health, senior stakeholder alignment and value delivery across the strategic ITP accounts excluded from the IQ Education Campaign.

• Value reviews: Establish and lead regular customer value reviews, focused on the outcomes that matter to ITPs, including operational efficiency, learner outcomes, compliance, funding performance and service quality.

• Adoption planning: Develop and deliver account-level adoption plans that improve use of relevant functionality, embed best practice and help customers gain measurable value from their investment.

• Risk identification and intervention: Use customer feedback, product usage, support trends, relationship sentiment and renewal timelines to identify risk early and lead proportionate retention or recovery plans.

• Cross-functional coordination: Bring together the right internal stakeholders across Sales, Customer Support, Professional Services, Product and Marketing to resolve blockers and restore customer confidence.

• Account Manager wrap-around support: Run focused adoption and customer-health interventions for accounts nominated by Account Managers, enabling stronger MYA, renewal and growth discussions.

• Commercial enablement: Equip Account Managers with customer value narratives, stakeholder maps, health insights and evidence of realised benefit to support their commercial activity.

• Voice of customer: Surface ITP market insight, recurring product concerns and customer needs to influence product priorities, service improvements, enablement and communications.

• Portfolio governance: Maintain clear account plans, risk registers, adoption measures and executive-contact plans; provide regular reporting on portfolio health and intervention outcomes.

How Success Will Be Measured

• Gross Revenue Retention (GRR) across the core strategic-account portfolio.

• Net Revenue Retention (NRR), including the effect of retention, contraction avoidance and supported growth activity.

• Reduction in churn and contraction risk within the strategic portfolio.

• Improvement in agreed customer-health and product-adoption measures.

• Percentage of accounts with current executive stakeholder engagement and documented value plans.

• Number, timeliness and outcome of at-risk interventions or save plans.

• Improvement in health and commercial readiness for Account Manager-nominated accounts.

• Quality and usefulness of ITP customer insight provided to internal teams.

What You Will Have

Experience and Skills

• Substantial experience in a customer-facing B2B software role, ideally customer success, customer adoption, strategic account management or retention.

• Experience working with Independent Training Providers, Further Education, skills or training organisations is highly desirable.

• Strong understanding of ITP priorities, including funding and compliance requirements, learner outcomes, inspection readiness, operational delivery and employer engagements.

• Demonstrable experience of improving customer adoption, retaining strategic accounts and handling sensitive or complex customer situations.

• Credibility and confidence with senior customer stakeholders, including CEOs, Managing Directors, Operations Directors and curriculum or quality leaders.

• Commercially aware but not sales-led: able to recognise opportunities, build the case for value and hand commercial ownership to the Account Manager.

• Comfortable using data and insight, including product usage, account health, support trends and revenue information, to prioritise activity and make recommendations.

• Highly organised, collaborative and able to manage multiple customer interventions at once.

Personal Attributes

• Customer-centred, pragmatic and outcomes-focused.

• Calm and credible in difficult customer situations.

• Proactive in spotting risks before they become renewal issues.

• Collaborative across Sales, Support, Product and Services.

• Able to balance strategic relationship management with disciplined execution and follow-through.

• Comfortable working independently in a sales-led environment without carrying a sales quota.

Please note, applicants must have the legal right to work in the UK at the time of application.
