We are a global team of innovators and pioneers dedicated to shaping the future of observability. At New Relic, we build an intelligent platform that empowers companies to thrive in an AI-first world by giving them unparalleled insight into their complex systems. As we continue to expand our global footprint, we're looking for passionate people to join our mission. If you're ready to help the world's best companies optimize their digital applications, we invite you to explore a career with us!

Your opportunity

New Relic is currently recruiting a Senior Technical Success Manager as a core member supporting our growth. We especially welcome those who frequently engage in discussions with multiple engineering roles such as SREs, software development engineers, and infrastructure engineers, or who have many opportunities for technical communication with CTOs and tech leads overseeing these teams. Since many of our team members have hands-on experience in service development and operations, practical field experience is immediately valuable in this role—so don't worry if you have limited external customer-facing experience. We provide comprehensive onboarding training.

The primary responsibility of a Technical Success Manager is to work alongside New Relic's sales, Solutions Consultant, Technical Support Engineer, and marketing teams to help customers effectively leverage our best-in-class New Relic solutions for their business and support operational improvements after contract signing. We also analyze how existing customers are using our platform and create environments that enable various team members to operate in a data-driven manner.

As a Technical Success Manager at our company, you will gain insight into diverse technologies, customer business needs, and market trends by providing technical support across various industries and systems. You will build trust while helping customers succeed after contract signing, creating a positive cycle of customer success and improved business performance—embodying the essence of customer success. Our company has accumulated rich success stories and expertise through our activities to date. We warmly welcome applications from those passionate about working closely with customers and pursuing shared goals together.

  • Collaborate with other Technical Support Engineers, Solution Consultants, Sales, and others to quickly resolve customer issues.
  • Gather customer feedback and communicate it internally so New Relic can provide better services.
  • Lead team members as a specialist in specific business domains on industry-specific challenges, promoting the pursuit and expansion of individual and team potential. Provide planned capability development and ensure everyone has the opportunity to do their best work.

This role requires

  • Experience designing and developing applications in a professional capacity (backend and/or frontend)
  • Professional experience building systems using public cloud services such as AWS, Azure, or GCP

  • Ability to clearly articulate the importance of customer experience and involve others to achieve better results by bridging the gap between business needs and technical details
  • Demonstrated communication, people management, and coaching skills
  • Passion for data collection, analysis, and interpretation, as well as problem identification, definition, and resolution
