Technical Account Manager

As a Technical Account Manager, your mission at Marqeta will be to serve as a trusted technical and payments advisor for several strategically important customers, managing all technical aspects of Marqeta’s relationship with them throughout the customer life cycle. You will be on the front line communicating directly with customers while collaborating cross-functionally internally to win new business, increase current business value with existing customers, and strengthen customer relationships. You will build expertise by learning from the Solutions Engineering, Product and Technology teams who develop and know the platform and solutions. In return, you will deliver critical customer feedback to help shape the roadmap and refine our offerings. NOTE: We encourage our UK team to go into our London (Holborn) office 2 days / week on a Tuesday and Thursday. If you live outside London, we can discuss a more flexible approach during our initial call. The Impact You’ll Have Trusted Technical Advisor: Whether you’re working with Marqeta’s business development and Account Managers to analyse requirements for a new opportunity, or coordinating an ongoing implementation to ensure its success, you’ll be the trusted technical expert for your customers. Your fellow Marqetans will rely on you to ensure the key technical influencers at our customers and prospects deeply understand our technology, its strategic advantages, and how to quickly get integrated and live. Your customers will rely on you to solve both near-term technical problems and their long-term money movement vision. Proactive problem-solver: Your customers will rely on you to solve both near-term technical problems and their long-term money movement vision. You’ll approach issues with empathy, putting yourself in the customer’s shoes and delivering clear recommendations to solve their problems. Over time, you’ll be able to soom out to see the bigger picture, and identify downstream impacts or “gotchas” before they occur. As you learn, you’ll document your findings to train others and create standards that can be repeated across the team and organisation. Customer Advocate: You’ll regularly attend product and engineering meetings, providing insight and guidance as the “voice of the customer” to those teams. Your work across teams and with a diverse array of customers will afford you unparalleled insights into how Marqeta is enabling customers, the evolution of the competitive landscape, and where and what we should build to remain on the cutting edge of the payments ecosystem.
