Why should you join the Customer Experience – Software Lifecycle team?

WWT’s CX – Software Lifecycle team is focused on our customers first, partnering with them to ensure we understand their goals, then applying the efforts necessary to achieve those goals. It is a rewarding way to ensure that our relationships continue to foster quality business outcomes and our customers view us as their strategic advisors.

As enterprises consolidate fragmented software buying into a small number of trusted reseller partners, they expect a single front door, faster vendor onboarding, proactive renewal management, and clean data they can trust. The Software Specialist role exists to deliver exactly that — turning the complexity of multi-vendor software estates into a simple, well-run experience for the customer. This shift toward recurring revenue and software lifecycle ownership makes WWT Customer Experience – Software Lifecycle an area of great opportunity for the right candidate.

What will you be doing?

The Software Specialist is a customer-facing role that provides focused functional and commercial software expertise within the Customer Success portfolio. The role concentrates on Tier 2 and Tier 3 software — the broad, long-tail estate of ISV and OEM products that sits beneath the largest strategic agreements — helping customers navigate quoting, vendor outreach, onboarding, renewals, and day-to-day software questions. (Tier 1 and EA-class strategic agreements are owned by Software Advisors and EA Customer Success Managers; the Software Specialist adds depth behind them on the broader relationship.)

The Specialist operates across all customer segments — including Commercial, Service Provider, Public Sector, and Enterprise — and serves as a value-added software resource to assigned Customer Success and account team members. While the role does not own customer accounts or carry direct responsibility for overall account success, it plays a key supporting role by bringing deep software, licensing, and ISV/OEM knowledge to the deal desk and renewal motions.

Working as part of a single-intake operating model, the Specialist partners with the Inside Sales Representative (ISR) and to keep requests moving. Day to day, this means quoting net-new software, conducting vendor and ISV outreach (including supporting Letter of Authorization workflows for OEM/ISV engagement), coordinating vendor onboarding through Partner Management, and getting ahead of the renewal calendar so no date is missed. The Specialist brings a service-oriented mindset and developing technical fluency to help customers understand entitlements, usage, and processes, while recognizing when to escalate complex or strategic needs to senior advisors, architects, or EA CSMs.

In addition, the Specialist contributes insights, observations, and documented learnings to Customer Success partners and internal stakeholders to improve consistency, efficiency, and customer experience. The role carries a strong expectation of ongoing learning and skill development — deepening software and vendor expertise over time and building readiness for more advanced or strategic customer-facing roles.

The ideal candidate is a motivated, customer-centric professional with a desire to build software and commercial depth, contribute meaningfully to customer success outcomes, and grow within a collaborative, fast-paced environment. They are reliable, curious, and proactive, with a strong foundation in problem-solving, communication, and service excellence.

• Be able to support customers with software questions, quotes, entitlements, and renewals across a multi-vendor (ISV/OEM) estate.
• Be able to clearly communicate commercial and process-oriented information to Customer Success partners, account teams, and customer stakeholders.
• Be organized and capable of managing multiple quotes, vendor outreach threads, and renewal timelines concurrently.

• Demonstrate professionalism, sound judgment, and effective collaboration across teams.
• Maintain a professional appearance and demeanor appropriate for all customer-facing interactions.

Responsibilities include:

• Quote Tier 2/Tier 3 software and respond to customer software inquiries.
• Conduct vendor and ISV/OEM outreach, including supporting Letter of Authorization workflows and coordinating new-vendor onboarding through Partner Management.
• Partner with the ISR teams and to manage the renewal calendar, engaging well ahead of renewal dates and handing back to the deal desk when onboarding work is required.
• Support internal and external enablement sessions, technical briefings, and training aligned to supported software, vendors, or programs.
• Add depth behind Software Advisors and EA CSM/CXEs on the broader customer relationship, without owning the account.
• Review customer usage, entitlement, licensing, or configuration data to provide accurate guidance, identify issues, and pressure-test source data for accuracy.
• Execute assigned support activities, tasks, or initiatives, ensuring timely and accurate completion.
• Assist in maintaining and improving customer-facing and internal documentation, playbooks, and best practices.
• Develop and maintain working knowledge of supported software, vendors, programs, and processes through ongoing learning.
• Document customer interactions, activities, and insights using internal tools (e.g., Gainsight) and collaborate via platforms such as Microsoft Teams or Webex.
• Support escalation workflows by engaging appropriate senior advisors, architects, or EA CSM/CXEs when customer needs exceed defined scope.
• Contribute to efforts that improve customer experience, operational efficiency, and consistency of service delivery.
• Participate in customer working sessions or support engagements under the guidance of senior resources.
• Operate effectively in both virtual and in-person customer environments, adapting communication style as needed.
• Maintain regular and reliable attendance and be available to support customer or business needs outside of standard business hours when required.
