As FeedbackFruits scales, the post-sales journey has become more complex - spanning implementation, adoption, support, renewal, and expansion across a diverse Higher Education customer base. Today, these functions are led by strong domain leaders. We are looking for one senior owner who brings them together into a coherent, outcome-driven post-sales system.
