Come join us! Why This Role Exists

The Manager of Customer Engineering leads the CE organization in their region and ensures customers experience a smooth, consistent and value-focused journey from onboarding to renewal. They manage a team of Customer Engineers and Scaled Customer Engineers responsible for activation, technical configuration, workflow guidance, adoption coaching, and proactive portfolio health management.

This leader brings strong implementation and project management expertise into the post-sales organization. They ensure onboarding and adoption motions follow structured frameworks, meet the regional quality bar, and align with global playbooks. They work closely with Enablement to apply these playbooks with discipline, and with the leader of CE and SE to refine them to match real customer needs.

Partners play a critical role in scaling onboarding capacity. Partnerships and Partner Enablement provide trained and vetted partners, and the CE Manager decides when and how to leverage them. They supervise partner execution, ensure alignment to CE standards and help the CE team treat partners as an extension of their capacity so internal CEs can focus on the most impactful work.

This is a hands-on leadership role. The Manager joins customer calls when needed, supports escalations, ensures AI activation across their portfolio and leads the CE team with technical confidence, operational discipline and customer empathy.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead, Develop and Manage the Regional CE Team. This includes daily coaching, hiring, performance management and skills development for a team of approximately five to six Customer Engineers and Scaled Customer Engineers.

• Drive Customer Health and GRR Outcomes. The Manager is accountable for Healthscore performance and Gross Revenue Retention across CE-managed accounts. They help the team identify risks early, intervene before renewal cycles and join renewal conversations when advanced technical input is required.
• Champion AI Activation and Adoption. They ensure the team understands Aircall's AI capabilities and supports customers in activating and embedding AI into their workflows. AI adoption becomes a natural part of CE delivery under their leadership.
• Lead Scaled Education and Webinar-Driven Enablement. They work closely with Scaled CEs to deliver high-quality webinar onboarding and customer education. They monitor attendance, conversion and impact to refine scaled education efforts.
• Apply Global Playbooks and Adapt Them Locally. They collaborate with Enablement and the leader of CE and SE to execute global onboarding and adoption playbooks with consistency and improve them based on local realities and customer feedback.
• Collaborate Across Sales, CS, Support, Product and FDE. The Manager aligns with Account Management Leaders on renewal readiness and customer prioritization. They oversee escalations with Support and Product, and collaborate with FDEs when advanced technical guidance is required.
• Join Customer Calls When Needed. They join onboarding, adoption, escalation or renewal conversations when their leadership presence or technical acumen will meaningfully support outcomes or strengthen customer confidence.
• Lead Regional Projects and Select POCs. They contribute to regional process improvements and may run targeted proof of concepts for new onboarding or adoption workflows.
• Run a Data-Driven CE Operation. They track onboarding throughput, activation quality, AI usage, partner delivery quality, escalations and health signals. They use data to coach the team, optimize processes and refine workload prioritization.
