Technical Account Manager
Our TAMs are seasoned account management and technical resolution professionals who are at the top of their field and are unified in exceeding customer expectations, improving our processes and technology, and meeting company growth objectives. The TAM is a very experienced TAM, responsible for resolving complex problems and providing excellent technical and customer service to specific key accounts. He/She will help them overcome issues that arise, succeed in their business using our technology and services, expand their usage of our products, be a reference to prospective customers, and be a long-term and loyal customer. The accounts assigned may include any of our paid service packages, where the services of an experienced TAM are expected. TAMs are generally assigned customers with a top-level service package, have high complexity, are high-touch, or are enterpriselevel.
Interaction with customers will be done via phone, email, chat, and WebEx, with face to face meetings as necessary and/or appropriate. Travel is more frequent than with other TAMs due to the higher level customers being served and the increased services offered with higher level service packages. TAM will work both independently and in concert with Sales, Technical Support, Professional Services and other teams to ensure the highest levels of customer success, providing a collaborative solution that will leave the customer with a positive experience and a product that meets their needs.
