Technical Account Manager - Germany

Technical Account Managers are highly experienced Architects who bring both deep technical expertise and strong interpersonal skills to support a small portfolio of strategic clients (approximately 3 per TAM). They must be quick on their feet and able to put a positive spin on challenging customer situations, both in the boardroom with a client CTO and while sharing the command line with a client admin. They must be effective technically, both as communicators and doers. They must be capable of managing and maintaining a client relationship, while keeping a tight organizational watch over the technical aspects of their accounts.
