As a Principal Technical Account Manager, you are a strategic authority within Outreach's Technical Account Management organization. You own enterprise-level engagements with our most highly strategic customers and drive systemic customer success initiatives that shape how the entire TAM function operates. You act as a strategic advisor to executive customer leadership and to internal stakeholders across Product, Engineering, GTM, and Supportability — influencing long-term customer partnerships, product direction, and organizational priorities.

You are the voice of the customer at the highest level, translating enterprise-scale patterns into actionable product and operational strategy.
