Docusign · Tokyo, Japan ·
Docusign brings agreements to life. Over 1.5 million customers and more than a billion people in over 180 countries use Docusign solutions to accelerate the process of doing business and simplify people’s lives. With intelligent agreement management, Docusign unleashes business-critical data that is trapped inside of documents. Until now, these were disconnected from business systems of record, costing businesses time, money, and opportunity. Using Docusign’s Intelligent Agreement Management platform, companies can create, commit, and manage agreements with solutions created by the #1 company in e-signature and contract lifecycle management (CLM).
The Principal Technical Account Manager (Principal TAM) at Docusign serves as the highest-level technical advisor for Enterprise Premier Support and strategic high-touch customers. The Principal TAM develops a deep understanding of each customer’s implementation environment, use cases, technical health, performance, and supportability, and leads the resolution of complex technical challenges, risk mitigation, product adoption, and long-term customer value realization.
The Principal TAM is both the customer advocate who brings the customer’s technical voice into Docusign and a cross-functional leader who works across Engineering, Product Management, Sales, Customer Success, Professional Services, Support, and other teams to deliver the best possible outcomes for customers. The role also contributes to raising technical standards and best practices across the TAM organization and provides mentoring and knowledge sharing to other TAMs.
This position is an individual contributor role reporting to the Director, Professional Services - Japan.
