• Technical Background: 6+ years of hands-on experience in technical architecture, API integration design, RESTful web services, and enterprise data modeling.

• Enterprise Systems Experience: Deep domain expertise in CRM integrations (e.g., Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics 365), SSO standards (SAML/OAuth), and SQL/SOQL.

• Strategic Operations & Stakeholder Management: Proven track record of managing enterprise escalations, defining operational KPIs, accelerating team operations through AI-powered workflows, and presenting to client C-suite stakeholders.

• Communication & Influence: Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills with a proven ability to bridge technical and business discussions across internal and external teams.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

Nice-to-Have Qualifications

• Experience managing a dual-function team (combining professional services/implementation with post-sales advisory).

What you'll be doing:

Team Leadership, Mentorship & Enablement

• Recruit, hire, onboard, and develop a high-performing team of Technical Account Managers and Solution Architects.

• Provide ongoing coaching, technical mentorship, and performance management to support individual career growth across both technical architecture and account management tracks.

• Establish clear team KPIs, capacity planning, and resource allocation models to balance implementation workloads with ongoing account advisory needs.

2. Technical Delivery, Strategy & Governance

• Define and standardize best practices for technical onboarding, integration design (APIs, SSO, SMTP, MCP, data models, CRM integrations), and solution architecture documentation.

• Oversee technical account management frameworks to ensure proactive health checks, SLA compliance, and systematic risk mitigation across key enterprise accounts.

• Serve as the executive technical escalation point for critical client integrations, complex architecture challenges, and high-stakes account reviews.

3. Cross-Functional Strategic Collaboration

• Partner closely with Product and Engineering leadership to communicate customer feedback, synthesize technical requirements, and influence product roadmap priorities.

• Collaborate with Customer Success Managers (CSMs) and Account Executives (AEs) to align technical delivery with commercial goals, contract renewals, and account expansion opportunities.
