Job Description

The Opportunity

We are looking for a Techno-functional Sr. Customer Success Manager to join our team. AEM Guides is Adobe’s cloud-native Component Content Management System (CCMS), and we are looking for passionate Technical Communication and Content Strategy professionals who will work with our customers to help them derive the best use of structured content and DITA standards.

In this position, you will be a trusted advisor, working with customers to fine-tune their technical documentation strategies and ensure their success. You will partner with the customer through their lifecycle and work to develop and grow the account.

In this role, you will be responsible to:

• Provide consulting services in the domains of Structured Content Strategy, DITA (Darwin Information Typing Architecture), and Technical Documentation technologies.

• Manage client relationships – especially working remotely to assess client maturity and satisfaction within the CCMS ecosystem.

• Interact with a broad level of client contacts – from Documentation Managers and Information Architects to Directors of Technical Communication and Content Operations.

• Present complex technical & functional information in a clear manner, covering aspects like XML authoring, publishing pipelines, and content reuse.

• Manage multiple customers (and engagements) concurrently.

• Identify growth opportunities – identify opportunities to both upsell & cross-sell on your accounts by identifying adjacent content needs (e.g., Marketing, HR, or Legal documentation).

What You'll Do

• Customer Relationship Management: Building and maintaining strong relationships with customers, understanding their complex content lifecycles, and ensuring satisfaction.

• Technical Expertise: Demonstrating a deep understanding of AEM Guides, including DITA standards, XML authoring, API integrations, and automated publishing workflows.

• Product Adoption: Assisting customers in effectively implementing and adopting AEM Guides, ensuring they achieve "Time-to-Value" by optimizing their documentation migration and review workflows.

• Business Acumen: Understanding the customer's business goals (e.g., reducing support tickets through better docs) and leveraging that knowledge to provide strategic guidance.

• Product Feedback: Gathering customer feedback on technical gaps (e.g., Web Editor enhancements or PDF templates) and providing insights to Product Engineering to drive the roadmap.

• Renewals and Expansion: Managing the renewal process and identifying opportunities for upselling additional licenses or features (like Native PDF Publishing) to drive revenue growth.

• Strategic Reviews: Delivering high-impact Executive Business Reviews (EBRs) and Strategic Business Reviews (SBRs), conducting product demos, and sharing "Best Practices" for structured content.

What You Need To Succeed

• A combined 7-10 years in the domain of Technical Communication, CCMS, SAAS or Content Technologies with responsibilities in solution consulting or post-sales and customer success.

• Ability to develop deep product and technical ecosystem knowledge (AEM, DITA-OT, XML).

• A good understanding of the Structured Content/Technical Docs market; experience managing complex content migrations or XML-based workflows is a significant bonus.

• A strong empathy for customers AND a passion for revenue and growth.

• Strong leadership skills with the proven ability to influence stakeholders ranging from technical writers to C-level executives.

• An analytical and process-oriented mindset supported by excellent communication and presentation skills.

• A Bachelor’s / Master’s degree in Business Management, Engineering, Technical Communications, or relevant fields.

• A minimum of 3-4 years of demonstrated exceptional customer management for enterprise software.
