The Team + The Role
Pendo’s Professional Services team is part of the broader Strategy & Transformation organization. The team helps customers transform how they operate, not just how they use Pendo, through onboarding, enablement, consulting, and advisory services.
As a Professional Services Consultant, you will lead customer engagements that help organizations implement, adopt, and scale their use of Pendo. You will guide customers from onboarding through value realization, aligning Pendo to business goals, implementing high-value use cases, and establishing the foundations for long-term success. You will serve as a trusted advisor across implementation, enablement, custom consulting, and Center of Excellence engagements.
This is a remote role based in the United States.
What this looks like day-to-day
- Customer onboarding and implementation: Lead onboarding engagements that accelerate customer time-to-value. Guide customers through installation readiness, use case discovery, implementation, enablement, and activation activities that help them achieve meaningful business outcomes with Pendo.
- Use case discovery: Partner with customers to understand their business goals, challenges, and success metrics. Help them identify and prioritize high-value use cases and develop implementation approaches that connect Pendo capabilities to desired outcomes.
- Product enablement and best practices: Enable customers on the full range of Pendo products and modules, including Analytics, Guides, NPS, Session Replay, Listen, Orchestrate, and Data Sync. Help customers understand not only how to use the platform, but how to use it effectively and sustainably.
- Custom services delivery: Lead custom consulting engagements that may include hands-on configuration, optimization, governance, product operations, and Center of Excellence development. Help customers solve current challenges while establishing scalable practices that support long-term adoption and value realization.
- Project ownership and delivery management: Manage multiple concurrent engagements while maintaining quality, customer satisfaction, and delivery timelines. Proactively communicate project status, identify risks, manage scope, and escalate issues when appropriate.
- Customer relationship management: Build trusted relationships across customer stakeholders, from day-to-day practitioners to executive sponsors. Act as a strategic advisor who helps customers navigate challenges, make informed decisions, and achieve their desired outcomes.
- Customer outcomes: Drive measurable business results tied to the goals established at the start of each engagement. Keep customers focused on meaningful progress toward value realization throughout delivery.
- Delivery excellence: Deliver projects on time, within scope, and with high customer satisfaction. Balance speed, quality, and customer confidence while helping customers move from onboarding to activation.
- Practice impact: Contribute beyond individual projects by improving playbooks, sharing expertise, mentoring teammates, and bringing customer insights back into the business. Strengthen both customer outcomes and the overall Professional Services practice.
Who You Are
Beyond the qualifications, we hire through a specific lens. These aren't buzzwords; they're the things we'll actually look for in how you talk about your work.
You're a builder, not a maintainer.
You're most energized when there isn't a clear path yet, and you get to define it. You don't wait for direction; you identify gaps, shape solutions, and drive them forward. At Pendo, great Professional Services Consultants don't just follow instructions; they operate as strategic advisors, influencing decisions, guiding stakeholders, and elevating how we work.
You're AI-curious - genuinely.
You're not using AI tools occasionally. You're rewiring how you work around them. You're faster, sharper, and more prolific because of it, and you bring that energy to everything — how you approach your work, how you prep, how you communicate, how you think. We want someone who sees AI as a multiplier, not a shortcut.
