Gainsight Administrator plays a crucial role in driving value for partners across the lifecycle, thanks to the workflows they configure as a member of the Operational Excellence for Partner Success team. Gainsight Administrator collaborates with cross-functional business teams to develop partner success strategies and craft the associated business requirements. They translate these requirements into technical designs that they implement in Gainsight and, at times, integrated systems such as Salesforce, while adhering to systems administration best practices. Gainsight Administrator then trains team members and business partners to use the workflows they ve set up, teach users best practices, ensure successful technical deployments on a recurring basis, and engage in daily problem solving to ensure the team can use the system productively. Altogether, they create and manage scalable processes and solutions on the Gainsight platform to support business goals.
