What We Are Looking For

\n

We're looking for a Technical Account Manager to own and grow relationships with our existing customer base. This is a technical, consultative role focused on expansion rather than net-new logo acquisition. You'll serve as the primary commercial and strategic point of contact for a portfolio of accounts running on AWS, Azure, and GCP—understanding their environments deeply enough to spot where Sela can help next, and credible enough that customers bring you into their planning conversations. You'll work alongside our architects and engineers on active engagements, identify follow-on work, and make sure customers see continuous value. You're someone who genuinely loves technology, can hold a real conversation about cloud architecture, and builds trust with engineers and executives alike.

Responsibilities

\n

\n
• Own the commercial relationship for a portfolio of existing Sela accounts, with responsibility for retention, satisfaction, and revenue growth
\n
• Develop deep technical familiarity with each customer's cloud environment across AWS, Azure, and GCP, including their roadmap, constraints, and priorities
\n
• Identify and drive expansion opportunities across new service lines—migration, application modernization, DevOps, data, cloud operations, and AI/ML workloads
\n
• Partner closely with Sela's architects and delivery teams to ensure engagements are on track and to surface follow-on opportunities
\n
• Run regular business reviews with customer stakeholders, from engineering leads through executive sponsors
\n
• Serve as the customer's advocate internally, coordinating across delivery, cloud operations, and finance
\n
• Maintain accurate pipeline, forecasting, and account plans in CRM tools
\n
• Support renewals of managed services and ongoing engagements
\n
• Bring customer and market insights back to the team to help shape offerings, particularly around AI and cloud-native workloads
\n

Requirements

\n

\n
• 5+ years in a customer-facing role at a cloud services provider, consultancy, or systems integrator—technical account management, customer success, solutions consulting, or services sales
\n
• Strong working knowledge of at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP), with practical familiarity across the others
\n
• Ability to hold substantive technical conversations about cloud architecture, migration approaches, and modernization patterns without needing an engineer in the room for every call
\n
• Demonstrated success growing revenue within existing accounts
\n
• Comfort selling and scoping professional services engagements, not just products or licenses
\n
• Genuine passion for technology; able to build credibility with customer technical leaders, executives, and our own engineering team
\n
• Strong executive-level communication and presentation skills
\n

\n

Preferred Qualifications

\n

\n
• Hands-on background in cloud engineering, architecture, or infrastructure prior to moving into a customer-facing role
\n
• Experience with data, AI/ML, DevOps, or cloud-native modernization projects
\n
• Familiarity with cloud reseller and marketplace billing models
\n
• Experience in a managed services environment
\n
• Cloud certifications (AWS Solutions Architect, Azure Administrator/Architect, Google Cloud Architect, or similar)
\n
• Existing relationships within the AWS, Microsoft, or Google partner ecosystems
\n

\n

\n
