The world loves Postgres. If you work with developers or data scientists or anyone wrangling data, you’ll probably see a sticker with the tusks and trunk of the Postgres elephant on the lid of a nearby laptop. EDB has a lot to do with that.
We’ve been major contributors to Postgres since the beginning, and we are proud to call thousands of boundary pushing customers our partners. Proud though we are, we are not resting on our laurels. There’s plenty of work to do. The good news is that everything we do will impact Postgres, which is to say that it will impact the world. No pressure.
EDB is hiring a Bi-Lingual Technical Account Manager (TAM) for EMEA region (MUST speak English & French and/or Italian). The TAM is responsible for building and maintaining post-sales relationships with EDB’s largest and most complex customers. These customers are typically large accounts adopting Postgres across their data-centers. The TAM serves as a trusted advisor to ensure successful implementations and as an account manager to ensure that the customers become a positive reference and continue their standardization on Postgres technology. The TAM is also the customer's single point of contact into all technical areas of EDB. As such, the TAM’s technical abilities are critical in identifying solutions, troubleshooting issues, and answering technical questions as they arise.
