About the Team
Our Professional Services team is fast-paced and implements the Clutch platform for our Credit Union customers. We gather requirements, build out the platform to their specifications, work with them to test and ensure it works as intended, and then take them live so they can realize value.
We’re a team with a bias for Customer Success - our top metric isn’t getting customers live, it’s ensuring their success through renewal and expansion. Professional Services team members should have high agency, a consultative approach to client implementations, a strong technical foundation, and be proactive communicators to ensure internal teams remain aligned. Our company is rapidly growing, and so is our team. We’re looking for individuals who want to help us evolve as a team as we strive for a world-class delivery motion.
