Success Architect - Slack

Locations: Chicago, Indianapolis, New York, San Francisco, Atlanta (Office-Flexible, 3x per week)

Technical design and governance are essential to integrating Slack with identity, security, data, AI, and system-to-system workflows at scale. Success Architects act as trusted technical advisors for our existing customer base and our partners on the Success team, leveraging broad technical and deep product expertise to amplify and extend adoption of Slack at our largest customers. All of which serves to ensure customers can deploy Slack quickly and effectively as mission critical infrastructure for the Enterprise.

Architects educate customers about product features and automations, perform technical discovery & assessments to provide guidance on APIs and extensibility of Slack as a platform. They advise on practical applications of AI, and develop recommendations on architecture changes and integrations that drive adoption.

Success Architects reduce enterprise risk and accelerate time-to-value by ensuring Slack is designed correctly in complex environments.
