Job description

Description

Position Summary

The Technical Account Manager is responsible for the overall technical success of clients within an assigned client group and is ultimately accountable for ensuring the right technical resources come together to produce the right outcome for the client.

This role provides technical leadership to Client Engineers, owns complex escalations, maintains technology standards, coordinates and manages technical projects, and ensures client environments are reliable, supportable, secure, and aligned with organizational standards. The Technical Account Manager serves as the senior technical resource for the client group while enabling Client Engineers to remain the primary day-to-day technical face for client employees. The Technical Account Manager will also be a client engineer to larger clients that are in the assigned client group.

The Technical Account Manager's success is measured not by the number of tickets personally resolved, but by the performance of the client group as a whole, including client satisfaction, technical quality, response and resolution performance, project execution, standardization, and reduction of recurring issues.

FLSA Status: Exempt

This role can be located in Hutchinson, McPherson, Great Bend, Wichita or a nearby surrounding community in Kansas.

Requirements

Major Duties and Core Responsibilities

Technical Leadership & Escalations

Create an assigned client group capable of resolving issues quickly without becoming dependent on the Technical Manager for every complex problem.

• Coordinate additional technical resources when an issue requires expertise outside the assigned client group
• Lead technical response for significant client-impacting incidents when appropriate
• Identify root causes of recurring or significant technical issues
• Coach engineers through escalations rather than simply taking over every difficult ticket

• Identify deviations from standards and develop plans to remediate them
• Work with Proactive Services to identify infrastructure, backup, patching, security, monitoring, and lifecycle concerns
• Review recurring issues and recommend permanent corrective actions
• Ensure technical documentation is accurate and sufficient for Help Desk and Client Engineering teams

Build highly capable Client Engineers who can confidently own their client relationships and environments.

• Assist with workload prioritization and resource allocation
• Review technical quality and reinforce engineering standards

• Own technical coordination and delivery of projects within the assigned client group
• Define technical requirements, scope, dependencies, and implementation plans
• Determine which work can be completed by Client Engineers and where additional engineering resources are required
• Coordinate project schedules with clients, Service Coordination, vendors, and internal resources
• Provide technical leadership during implementations
• Ensure projects meet organizational standards before being considered complete
• Confirm documentation and support handoff are completed following implementation

Client Group Health & Continuous Improvement

The Technical Account Manager should maintain a holistic view of the health of every client in the assigned group. Work across Help Desk, Client Engineering, Proactive Services, and Consulting to address identified concerns. Fix tomorrow's problems before they become tomorrow's tickets.

Regularly review:

• Documentation quality
• Technical debt
