As Program Manager, Technical Services Engagements, you own how those engagements run, from intake to customer sign-off, for customers across the US, EMEA and APAC. You manage the complex engagements yourself, run the portfolio for the rest, and own every customer escalation on a Technical Services engagement, with the delivery team beside you, Customer Success and the customer.

If you have worked as an Engagement Manager or Implementation Program Manager at a SaaS company, this role will feel familiar: scope, plan, status, change control, escalations and acceptance. Customer Success owns the customer relationship; you make Technical Services its most reliable partner.

Flag an engagement the day it turns amber.Work side by side with the Support delivery teams to match work to capacity and keep hand-offs to US and EMEA colleagues clean across time zones.Work inside the Customer Success relationship: the CSM or Onboarding Manager owns the customer, the agenda and every invitation. On your engagements and your escalations, you are the one Technical Services voice, on the account thread and on the calls they set.Report performance: monthly business unit scorecards, service levels and trends, and inputs to executive and board updates.Improve the engagement model: templates, playbooks, SalesForce views, tracker automation and retrospectives. Propose rule changes through change control.Support each business unit's launch of Technical Services: engagement setup, tracker lines and the weekly interlock.Partner with Support and Engineering when a product defect surfaces in an engagement, through the Jira escalation lane.Other duties as assigned.

Candidate Traits Calm and decisive in an escalation. You own the problem until it is closed and keep everyone informed without being asked.Confident on a US customer call from India: clear, direct English, equally credible with a marketing leader who doubts the numbers and analytics engineer who owns the integration.Holds scope firmly and kindly.

The tracker is always current, and every status report fits on one page.Influence without authority: you move work through delivery leads, CSMs and customer teams in three regions.Sense of urgency.Data-driven. You run the portfolio on the scorecard and spot the trend before it becomes an escalation.Service mindset: additional hands and eyes on Customer Success's side, never a second track for the customer.
