### Upcoming dates and topics:

#### ****🪜September 3:** The new PostSales career ladder in the age of AI - where do the humans go?

**Hosted by* [**Kristine Marhilevica*](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristinemarhilevica/)**, Global Senior Director, Technical Customer Support at* [**Ardoq*](https://www.linkedin.com/company/ardoq/)  
  
Careers in Customer Success and Technical Support were always built from the bottom up. You started on the front line: tickets, low-touch accounts and QBR prep, and earned judgment by doing the reps. Now AI is absorbing exactly that entry-level work. We didn't just automate tasks,- we automated the training ground. So I'm hosting a PowerHour on a question I don't think our industry is asking honestly enough: ****The new PostSales career ladder: where do the humans go?**

  
What we'll dig into together:  
 • If AI does the entry-level work best, where do juniors begin?  
 • Can you still learn judgment without doing the repetitive work?  
 • Which new roles are real career tracks and which are just temporary titles?  
 • What earns a promotion now?  
 • Are we re-skilling our people or quietly planning to hire differently?

  
The risk isn't AI doing tasks, - it's removing the ladder that built our best people. If we take the bottom rung, we owe them a new one.  
Discussion happens throughout, not just at the end. Bring a real example from your own team.
