# March 2026: Champion Tracking

### Overview

Starbridge now supports **champion tracking**.

Your account executives (AEs) and account managers (AMs/CSMs) can track champions as they get promoted, retire, or change jobs between accounts, so teams can:

* reach out at the perfect moment (new role, new budget, new initiatives)
* carry relationship context from a previous account into a new account
* spot when a key champion leaves an active account - catch transition risks early

This release allows you to **track specific contacts over time** in the Job Changes Bridge, and adds a new enrichment for new hires: their previous employer and contact info (previous employer, title, and email).

### What's new

* **Track specific contacts over time**
  * Create a Job Changes Bridge.
  * Use it to monitor job changes for a defined list of contacts (your champions) over time.
  * Identify departures, title changes, and your champion contacts hired into new accounts.
* **Previous Contact**
  * A column enrichment that shows the person's prior role. Helps confirm that a new hire job change is the same champion you've worked with before.
  * Includes the previous **employer,** **title, and email**.
  * Compatible with CRM Lookup. Includes unique identifiers for the employer, such as Starbridge ID, NCES ID, or GEOIDID.

### Example

If Adam was newly hired as Superintendent at Mt. Diablo USD after being Assistant Superintendent at Carroll County PSD:

* Job Change: `New Hire: Adam -> Superintendent @ Mt. Diablo USD`
  * Contact: `Adam | Superintendent | Mt. Diablo USD | <current email>`
  * Previous Contact: `Adam | Assistant Superintendent | Carroll County PSD | <previous email>`

Along with unique identifiers for the previous employer and other useful enrichments.

### Why it matters (AEs + AMs/CSMs)

* **Champion tracking across accounts**: Get notified when champions land at a new account, so you can start the conversation early in their tenure.
* **Cleaner handoffs and better personalization**: Quickly understand where someone came from without digging through history.
* **Account risk signals**: See when a key champion or executive sponsor departs an account and plan coverage accordingly.
