About TogetherWork

TogetherWork provides integrated software and payments solutions that help communities, organizations, and businesses operate more efficiently, grow revenue, and better serve their members, customers, and participants. Our solutions support a broad set of vertical markets, including associations, camps, studios, pet-care, education and youth programs, nonprofits, municipalities, faith-based organizations, wellness businesses, and other community-based organizations.

As TogetherWork continues to grow across multiple products and verticals, we are investing in a more structured, proactive, and premium technical support experience for our most important and complex customers. We are seeking a Director of Technical Account Management to build, commercialize, launch, operate, and scale this function from the ground up.

Position Summary

The Director of Technical Account Management will be responsible for building, launching, monetizing, and leading TogetherWork’s Technical Account Management function as a paid premium support program. This is not a traditional sales account management role. The focus is on premium technical support, proactive customer health management, escalation ownership, operational excellence, and creating a differentiated service experience that customers are willing to pay for.

This leader will stand up the program from scratch and will be accountable for moving quickly from concept to revenue. Within the first six months, the Director is expected to define the premium support offering, partner with commercial teams on packaging and pricing, identify the initial customer segments, launch a pilot, support early sales efforts, establish service delivery standards, and begin generating measurable revenue from the program.

This role is ideal for a hands-on builder who has experience scaling premium support, technical account management, enterprise support, or customer engineering programs in a SaaS or software environment. The Director must be equally comfortable designing the operating model, managing complex customer escalations, supervising TAM team members, collaborating with Product and Engineering, and partnering with Sales and Customer Success to turn premium support into a valuable, revenue-generating offering.

The successful candidate will bring strong technical support expertise, commercial awareness, executive communication skills, operational discipline, and the ability to create structure in a multi-product, multi-vertical environment. This person will serve as the leader responsible for ensuring TogetherWork’s most important and complex customers receive a proactive, coordinated, technically credible, and premium support experience.

Key Responsibilities

Build and Monetize the TAM / Premium Support Program

• Design, build, launch, and operate  TogetherWork’s  Technical Account Management program as a paid premium support offering for strategic, high-value, and technically complex customers.

• Own the creation of the program charter, operating model, service tiers, customer eligibility criteria, staffing model, engagement cadence, escalation framework, reporting structure, and success metrics.

• Partner with Sales, Customer Success, Finance, Support, Product, and business unit leadership to define the commercial model for premium support, including packaging, pricing inputs, service levels, customer value proposition, renewal motion, and expansion opportunities.

• Develop a premium support offering that can be clearly explained, sold, delivered, and measured across multiple  TogetherWork  products and verticals.

• Create the  initial  go-to-market framework for the TAM program, including customer segmentation, target account lists, enablement materials, internal FAQs, customer-facing descriptions, and pilot criteria.

• Work with Sales and Customer Success to  identify  early adopter customers, support commercial conversations,  participate  in customer discussions when needed, and help convert pilot customers into paying premium support customers.

• Ensure the program begins generating measurable revenue within the first six months of launch.

• Define what customers receive as part of the premium support offering, such as named TAM access, recurring technical reviews, proactive support trend analysis, escalation management, release readiness support, technical environment reviews, incident follow-up, and customer-specific support planning.

• Establish clear boundaries between Technical Account Management, Customer Success, Sales, Support,  Professional Services/ Implementation, Product, and Engineering so the TAM function  remains  focused on technical health, support excellence, escalation ownership, and premium support delivery rather than quota-carrying account management.

• Create scalable playbooks, templates, runbooks, customer-facing materials, internal workflows, governance processes, and reporting standards that can be applied across products and verticals.

• Continuously assess program profitability, customer adoption, staffing needs, service  utilization , renewal impact, expansion potential, and customer satisfaction.

• Ensure TAMs provide proactive, structured engagement with assigned customers, including recurring technical reviews, support trend analysis, open issue reviews, launch readiness planning, incident follow-up, and recommendations to reduce customer friction.

• Oversee the creation of customer-specific support plans for complex or high-value accounts, including stakeholder maps, communication preferences, technical environments, open risks, known dependencies, escalation protocols, and success criteria.

• Ensure premium customers receive clear communication,  timely  follow-through, and coordinated resolution when issues span multiple teams, products, integrations, or systems.

• Drive root-cause analysis and corrective action planning for recurring customer issues, major incidents, missed expectations, or operational breakdowns.

• Use insights from premium customer engagements to  identify  product gaps, documentation needs, process improvements, training opportunities, and systemic support issues.

Build, Lead, and Develop the TAM Team

• Hire, onboard, coach, and develop a high-performing team of Technical Account Managers supporting multiple  TogetherWork  products and verticals.

• Define TAM role expectations, competency models, career paths, performance scorecards, onboarding plans, training programs, and quality standards.

• Coach TAMs on technical troubleshooting, customer communication, commercial awareness, executive presence, customer de-escalation, support analytics, cross-functional influence, documentation quality, and proactive customer management.

• Set clear team goals and operating rhythms, including weekly case reviews, escalation reviews, customer health reviews, backlog reviews, revenue tracking, pilot reviews, program retrospectives, and quarterly planning.

• Create a culture of ownership, responsiveness, accountability, curiosity, customer advocacy, and continuous improvement.

• Balance team capacity, customer assignments, product specialization, vertical  expertise , s
