About The Position

Faro is looking for a Customer Strategy Manager to join our growing team. In this role, you will partner with clinical development teams at leading global pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to help them unlock measurable value from Faro's AI-powered platform. Customer Strategy at Faro extends beyond traditional Customer Success. Our team combines strategic advisory, customer success, change management, value realization, and cross-functional leadership to help customers adopt new technology and transform how clinical development work gets done. You will serve as a strategic advisor to customer stakeholders, helping organizations define what success looks like, adopt AI-enabled ways of working, embed Faro into business processes, and translate emerging technology capabilities into real operational impact at enterprise scale. As the problems our customers ask us to solve continue to evolve alongside our products and the clinical development landscape, we're looking for someone who is energized by change and ambiguity, learns new domains quickly, and has the range to take on increasingly complex business, and technology challenges over time. This is an exciting opportunity for a life sciences strategy consultant or customer success professional who combines structured problem solving and strong stakeholder management with the curiosity and adaptability to grow alongside our products and our customers.
