Customer Success Consultant

Come shape the future of education with us.

At Compass, we love working with schools and strive to deliver new innovations, functions, and process improvements as new technology becomes available. Our services are specifically designed to improve not only the school process but also community culture and student learning outcomes.

Compass is a product that genuinely provides students, teachers, and parents with an improved educational experience. You can leave at the end of each day knowing you made a difference to a student's education or helped make a staff member’s day just that little bit better.

Our school management ecosystem is now used in more than 5,000 schools across Australia and beyond. We’re joined by over 300+ members of the Compass team, building the operating system for schools worldwide.

About the Role & Team

As a Customer Success Consultant, you'll act as a trusted strategic advisor to a portfolio of schools.

• Own the end-to-end consulting experience for a portfolio of schools, from implementation, training and ongoing partnership
• Lead complex implementations across the Compass product suite, including module adoption and partner integrations.
• Build trusted relationships with senior school stakeholders and act as their primary contact on all things Compass
• Drive advocacy and reference-ability across your portfolio, positioning Compass as a strategic partner rather than a vendor.

• Partner with Sales and Product to identify and shape opportunities for schools to expand their use of Compass
• Represent the voice of your schools internally to influence product, process and service improvements.
