On the commercial side, you will work closely with the account team to drive growth for your assigned customer’s use cases by engaging with stakeholders and developing actionable plans. This will require you to leverage your technical skills and expertise to engage and communicate effectively at all levels within an organization.

You possess a positive attitude and outlook and enjoy working with a high-performing, fast-paced team. You are results-oriented, leveraging data, metrics, and open feedback to make operational, tactical, and strategic decisions.

  • Monitor incoming cases for assigned customers and interpret issues and potential business impact to provide contextual technical guidance to the support engineers to expedite issue resolution

  • Utilize resources from Performance Engineering, Professional Services, Incident Management, and Support Engineering, while also engaging other specialized technical experts for tasks beyond your expertise

  • Willingness to travel regionally to customer locations, deliver on-site solutions, and build strong customer relationships

Our Ideal Technical Account Manager will have:

  • B.S. or M.S degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience

  • Hands-on experience with Python, SQL, or Scala

  • 5+ years of experience managing enterprise customer relationships as a Technical Lead or Technical Account Manager or equivalent role

  • Excellent verbal, written, communication, and receptive listening skills

  • High levels of emotional intelligence (EQ), empathy, proactivity, and the ability to advocate for both customers and internal teams

  • Successful experience working, collaborating, and establishing relationships with leadership, colleagues, and clients
