Company Description
CentrePal is a proudly Australian company, headquartered in Melbourne, and a Microsoft-certified ISV scaling AI-powered customer engagement through a Microsoft-native platform. We deliver Teams-native CCaaS, Voice AI and CX Automation built entirely within the Microsoft Teams and Azure AI ecosystem, and we're the only Microsoft-certified Contact Centre vendor headquartered in the Southern Hemisphere.
Our flagship product is the world's first certified Teams-native Contact Centre, built on the most advanced Unify integration model globally. Rather than bolting AI onto a traditional CCaaS stack or stitching together fragmented point solutions, CentrePal brings data, AI and communications together on a single Microsoft platform - extending Teams into an enterprise-grade customer engagement platform that's quick to adopt, fast to realise value, and free of the siloed systems, extra agent tools and operational complexity that come with legacy approaches.
Trusted by organisations across public sector, financial services, healthcare, education, transport and logistics, mining and commercial sectors, CentrePal helps customers modernise customer engagement, operationalise AI, reduce cost-to-serve and improve service outcomes at scale.

Once a customer is onboard, you'll act as a trusted advisor through delivery, onboarding and ongoing value realisation, and play a lead role in establishing and continuously improving CentrePal's Customer Success, Value Realisation and Customer Transformation practice. You'll build a clear roadmap for each customer that drives long-term adoption and success, and represent CentrePal as a thought leader through executive presentations, industry events and C-suite roundtables.

Ideal Candidate
- Bachelor's degree in IT, Business or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
- 8+ years' experience in a Solutions Consultant, Customer Success, Sales Engineer or Technical Consultant role, spanning both presales and post-sales delivery of contact centre or customer experience solutions.
- Proven experience responding to RFx (RFPs, RFIs and RFTs) and developing business cases to support complex sales opportunities, working alongside Account Executives.
- Hands-on experience delivering contact centre or CX implementation projects, including solution design, configuration and customer onboarding.
- Strong knowledge of the CX ecosystem, including Compliance Recording,

- Working knowledge of AI-powered and agent-based customer engagement solutions, including virtual agents, conversational AI and automation within the Microsoft ecosystem.
- Proven experience building, scaling or leading a Customer Success, Value Realisation or Customer Transformation practice, including frameworks, playbooks, customer health models and value measurement approaches.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts into clear business value for senior and C-suite stakeholders.
