Want to empower digital business through real-time analytics delivered as a service? Passionate about putting the power of machine data analytics in the hands of everyone by unifying all data types, enabling universal access and leveraging cloud economics – all this from a single, unified platform delivered and consumed as a service? Come talk with us!

As a Technical Account Manager, you will be responsible for working with and guiding Sumo Logic's strategic customers toward successful adoption of the service. You will partner very closely with our Customer Success Managers to develop deep customer relationships with a set of premium accounts. You will provide technical guidance, best practices, mentorship and training to your customers, assisting them to drive maximum value out of Sumo Logic and understanding a vision for long term success and growth. You will be the main point of contact for all technical questions and assistance for these customers and represent their needs back to customer support, product management, engineering, and sales.

• Stay actively engaged on assigned customers to ensure great customer health
• Participate in customer community forums
• Partner with senior Sumo Logic Customer Success Managers to ensure customers are renewing and expanding their accounts
• Represent customer needs internally with our product management and engineering teams

Your experience and skills should include:

• A track record of having a bias for action to make things happen and drive results
• Experience with public cloud services such as AWS or Microsoft Azure
• Ability to write scripts, regular expressions, SQL queries, etc.
• Hands-on experience working with a variety of enterprise software infrastructure (operating systems, virtualization, database, network, security) products in production environments
• Eight years or more experience working as a professional services consultant, customer success engineer, technical account manager, Solutions Architect or sales engineer
• Customer relationship management skills
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• The ability to travel occasionally to customer sites
