Ensure user satisfaction: Identify and tailor solutions to individual needs, ensure timely responses, and suggest best practices to help users get the most out of OpenProject.
Cultivate relationships: Build strong, long-term relationships with high-value customers through regular check-ins, identifying opportunities for upsells or cross-sells, and proactively managing churn risk.
Engage the community: Monitor and address community questions and requests, actively interacting with the OpenProject community primarily through forums and within the software itself.
Drive continuous improvement: Provide valuable feedback to our product, marketing, sales, and engineering teams based on customer interactions, collaborating closely with all teams to identify areas for improvement.

A purpose-driven role in an open-source company that truly values transparency and collaboration.
