Summary
The Staff Customer Engagement Manager owns a portfolio of the program's highest-complexity customer relationships end-to-end.

* Own the documentation, routing, and tracking of customer insights, decisions, and action items across engagements; Ensure nothing falls through the cracks
* Deliver clear, concise updates to executive stakeholders, customers, and cross-functional partners on engagement outcomes, program progress, and action item status
* Contribute to the design and improvement of engagement models, processes, and playbooks
* Identify and activate customers for product co-creation (pilots, betas, CABs, research), GTM advocacy (case studies, events, references), and executive engagement opportunities

REQUIREMENTS:
* Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, or related field
* 10+ years of experience in customer engagement, program management, account management, or customer success, preferably within a technology or SaaS company
* Demonstrated ability to build and manage executive-level relationships (VP+ / C-suite) independently
* Track record of driving cross-functional outcomes in a matrixed organization without direct authority
* Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to tailor messaging for executive, technical, and operational audiences
* Experience managing complex, multi-stakeholder engagements with competing priorities and ambiguity
* Analytical skills sufficient to interpret engagement data, identify trends, and inform strategy
