We’re currently looking for a**** Sr. Customer Enablement Practitioner. This role is for a hands-on technical expert, not a general consultant or relationship manager.

We value the insight gained from overcoming technical challenges and mistakes, as this experience directly benefits the customers you support.As a Sr. Customer Enablement Practitioner, you will provide deep domain expertise when a Technical Success Manager (TSM) identifies a complex customer need.

While the TSM manages the overall customer relationship, you will lead the technical engagement from start to finish.To qualify, you must demonstrate specific, verifiable expertise in API and integration design within enterprise environments.
