.Technical Account Manager | ThousandEyes Portugal Location: Offsite, Oeiras, Portugal Alternate Location: Lisbon Area of Interest: Engineer - Network Job Type: Professional Technology Interest: Cloud and Data Center, Internet of Everything, Networking, Service Provider Job Id: 1427385 About ThousandEyes (part of Cisco) The name ThousandEyes was born from two big ideas: the power to see things not ordinarily possible and the ability to collect insights from a multitude of vantage points. As organizations rely more on cloud services and the Internet, the network has become a black box they can't understand. Our Internet and cloud intelligence platform delivers the only collectively powered view of the Internet, cloud and SaaS platforms, helping enterprises and service providers work together to identify problems before it impacts revenue, damages brand reputation, or halts employee productivity. In August 2020, Cisco Systems completed the acquisition of ThousandEyes, which now forms the ThousandEyes Business Unit within Cisco's Network Services Business Group, and is a foundational component of Cisco's growing Observability business. About the Role At ThousandEyes, we operate a little bit differently than most software-as-a-service providers: We've recognized that delivery of amazing customer experience is key to driving longer term value and creating customers for life. We hire industry veterans - people with tried and true experience in the area of network-based service delivery. The TAM role is a proactive support role for premium support accounts: you'll be responsible for supporting a select number of named accounts, aligned to the customers business hours, and not working on a rotational shift. The TAM will work closely with the 24x7 support team to ensure the total team can support a customer on a follow-the-sun model. The TAM provides select account premium support for those that purchase the TAM service, and the key value includes providing customers with a named support engineer who understands the customers team and network. TAM's work customer problems, help optimize customer networks, provide training, and also work joint proactive projects. Role Requirements At least 5-7 years of support experience within a Technical Support, Solutions Engineering, Customer Success, or Technical customer-facing organization At least 5-7 years of working directly with customers, within a technology company Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent working experience Expert understanding of network and application protocols (Cisco/Juniper certification strongly preferred - CCNA/DEVNET/JNCP, etc.) Experience with Cloud/SaaS software products is highly desirable
