The Role:

At Imply we see Customer Experience as the key growth function of our business, with Technical Success Managers helping drive a business/technical perspective as well as a more holistic relationship with our customers. We don’t see Customer Success merely as a retention function but as a key to exceeding ambitious Net Revenue Retention targets by driving adoption and expansion across our customers’ organizations.

Our Technical Success Managers are a mashup between a Solution Engineer and Account Executive–with the focus on strategically and obsessively driving value for our customers.

On a day to day basis, you will own a portfolio of strategic accounts and provide ad hoc assistance to smaller accounts. These accounts will be across multiple verticals and located primarily within the eastern and central USA. You will own the customer relationship from a technical perspective, from onboarding through to continued adoption and usage. From initial activation, you will help our customers translate complex business needs into data driven solution designs on top of the Imply Platform. You will work collaboratively with stakeholders at your accounts to map and realize the value they want to derive from our platform, driving wider institutional adoption of Imply as you go. You will serve as the internal voice of your customers and become a go-to technical resource internally and externally.

Responsibilities:

Actively serving as a technical advisor to a portfolio of assigned accounts including major consumer, prosumer and B2B brands
Working on new customer onboarding to map their business needs and design solutions tailored to their use cases and needs

Develop collaboratively with our Sales Engineers, Support Engineers and Solution Architects the technical artifacts that support organizational success of usage of Imply
Proactively identifying opportunities for growth and expansion within your accounts, ensuring where this requires wider implementation of our product that this is technically and commercially sound
Develop domain expertise in our key verticals through deep customer collaboration, general research and attending industry events/conferences
Identify product feedback from customers, spotting trends and surfacing to help shape product roadmap

Data is your thing. A solid understanding of the data space - cloud infrastructure, database technologies, data modeling, visualization tools and other enabling technologies
You understand people. Deeply emotionally intelligent, you can quickly read a room of stakeholders and adapt your delivery style and content quickly
Confidence is key. Previous experience with a complex software product, ideally designing solutions and gathering requirements, you are comfortable communicating with technical and business subject matter experts
Business challenge? Let me help. A passion for working at the intersection of technology and business problems - this role is always about delivering business impact for our customers through data
You can see the needle in the haystack. As a trusted advisor to our customers, you will be pivotal in spotting new opportunities where Imply could add even more value for them
Experience and acumen in multiple areas of modern technology and modern data architectures. This includes SQL expertise, knowledge of cloud data warehouses, cloud provider services (AWS, Google, Azure), ETL/ELT tools, data modeling/engineering, general networking knowledge and cloud SaaS applications (Zendesk, Salesforce, Marketo, etc.)
