Org Structure for Digital-Led/Tech-Touch

What’s the org structure for your teammates who work on digital-led customer success?

Here’s how it’s broken down at Gainsight:

  • 1 Director of Digital-Led Programs
  • 1 teammate who develops always-on programs for key customer moments
  • 1 teammate who develops customer communications (emails, virtual events, etc.)
  • 2 teammates who develop in-app messaging
  • 2 CSMs who used a pooled model to assist customers who don’t have a named CSM
  • 1 teammate who manages our customer advocates and orchestrates ‘match’ requests from Sales and CS
  • 1 teammate who provides logistical support for all of the above
  • You could also consider community to be part of the digital/scaled support we offer to customers, and various pieces of community are owned by different teams

What does your digital-led team structure look like??

Here’s one way to think about the capabilities you need in Digital Success and the other places they need to interface.  What do you all think?

Thanks @tyler_mcnally !  This is a great visual representation.  I would recommend drilling into the Events since that is a key component of a 1:Many model.  We run Best Practices Webinars (roughly once a month) and Office Hours (one a week) which are the flagship programs of our Digital CS team

@tyler_mcnally, I think your Capabilities diagram is very helpful. Would you see Community fitting under Experience Programs? Where does automated / self-service Renewals and Expansion fit?

a few more details - absolutely agree with events and community.  Events and community also support each other with community as the “meeting place” for event invites, recaps, discussions, etc.
