What the job involves
- We are seeking a high-energy, flexible, and detail-oriented education technology professional to join our Customer Onboarding team in the US, to engage and inspire new and existing customers throughout the AMERICAS region
- As an Onboarding Consultant, you will set up customers for immediate success by helping them navigate change management through customer training and consultation, sharing best practices and facilitating implementation
- You will educate our new and existing customer base through the delivery of compelling and interactive training sessions that leave attendees inspired to incorporate our products into their teaching and learning strategies
- You will help solve technical problems with empathy and optimism, and identify and mitigate any risks associated with the customer’s adoption of our product
- You will be responsible for providing in-depth consulting services, using advanced functional knowledge, and product expertise to partner with customers on the implementation of their Turnitin product suite
- This role will report to the Manager of Customer Onboarding
- Your success will expand Turnitin’s global reach – helping institutions to safeguard the academic integrity of all forms of assessment
- Guide customers through a seamless implementation – You will own the onboarding process end-to-end for all assigned customers, including change management, implementation, integrations, training, usage, and adoption. You’re an expert at managing multiple projects at once. Your written communication and scheduling skills are exceptional. You will respond to customer queries in a timely manner, with empathy and optimism, while reviewing new customer contracts and ensuring all relevant information is documented. You’ll ensure databases are correctly configured for assigned clients and maintain alignment with internal teams and customers to validate objectives and requirements
- Educate customers for immediate success – You possess expert presentation skills for both online and in-person software training delivery. You will use your knowledge of education, assessment, and academic integrity to connect with your audience of education professionals, inspiring them to unlock the full potential of our tools. By hosting customized, consultative training sessions, you will bridge knowledge gaps, assess customer knowledge from self-paced learning modules, and facilitate change management to support customer outcomes
- Solve technical problems – You will learn our products and integrations quickly and thoroughly, applying your technical knowledge to suggest solutions, propose workarounds, or escalate relevant details to our Support team. You will identify issues before the customer does and implement steps to mitigate risk. You will also identify additional features and training opportunities that enhance customer success and retention
- Collect and act on feedback – You will actively seek feedback on your training delivery from customers and peers to identify improvements that can be incorporated into your work as you strive for excellence in all that you do. You will craft and track success plans for all assigned clients, ensuring risks to onboarding and adoption are assessed and mitigated
- Understand and act on success metrics – You will help develop and track key success metrics in relation to onboarding, adoption, and retention. Using project scheduling and control tools, you’ll monitor project plans and timelines, drive deliverables, and ensure onboarding milestones are met. You will communicate timeline updates to internal and external stakeholders clearly and effectively
- Develop outstanding training materials – You are always searching for better ways to do things. You will continually test new ideas, revise existing training materials, and create high-quality resources for new topics. You are meticulous about sticking to brand design guidelines and ensuring training materials align with customer needs
- Work as ‘One Team’ – You can engage and collaborate with ease in all stages of the customer journey. While you’ll own the onboarding and implementation stage, you will strategically transition customers to the assigned team during handoffs, setting up other stage-owners (such as Sales, Renewals, Support, and Product) for success. You will guide them to provide what you need to succeed yourself
Our take
Turnitin has a global reputation for being one of the best plagiarism detection softwares on the market. It’s well-earned, too. Besides simple paraphrasing plagiarism, its software also employs sophisticated techniques like identifying macro replacement and analysing metadata to weed out essay mill papers.
Academic plagiarism has become increasingly complex over the years, exacerbated in part by the COVID period of online schooling, and in part by a skyrocketing rise in computer literacy and plagiarism tricks. Software like Turnitin is therefore playing an increasingly crucial role in maintaining academic integrity. Additionally, it helps understaffed institutions ease the burden placed on a teaching workforce which are, in some regions, perilously close to collapse.
Turnitin is not without its issues, however. Some institutions lean too heavily on the software, and essay mills have begun using Turnitin software to prove product authenticity. Historically, Turnitin has neatly addressed these problems by releasing new or improved capabilities including Chat GPT screening updates in 2023. If it can continue to demonstrate remarkable competence and proactive development in this regard, Turnitin’s glowing reputation seems assured.
