Cognite Global Strategic Services

Services is the Scaling Engine of Cognite. TAMs are a key lever in that engine.

Overview

At Cognite, Technical Account Managers (TAMs) are trusted advisors responsible for helping strategic customers realize tangible value from Cognite Data Fusion (CDF) and accelerate scalable outcomes. They play a central role in delivering on our Scaling Engine ethos; collaborating across Services, Product, Engineering, and Account Teams to ensure our technology is deployed with excellence, adopted with purpose, and expanded with value.

TAMs lead the technical relationship across the customer lifecycle: from validating architectural decisions during pre-sales, to supporting deployment and operationalization post-First Value, and ultimately co-owning technical alignment for expansion and renewal. They are also essential in enabling our partner ecosystem, ensuring solution integrity, and elevating the Cognite experience through feedback loops to Product and Customer Enablement.

What You'll Do

• Architect with Impact: Work with central customer IT teams to align on a target architecture for CDF across their enterprise and ensure fit within their ecosystem.
• Collaborate Across Pre-Sales and Field Engineering: Partner with Field Engineering and Solution Architects during pre-sales to ensure technical continuity into deployment.
• TAMs provide customer context and future-state alignment to help accelerate early value realization and ensure a strong post-sale handover.
• Deploy with Confidence: Guide secure solution deployments (IAM, networking, data pipelines), ensuring alignment with Cognite best practices and supportable design.
• Drive Value Realization: Partner with Customer Success, Services Delivery, and Value Engineering to align architecture and use case roadmap with customer business goals.
• Support Scalable Adoption: Co-develop adoption programs, facilitate end-user feedback loops, and support Enablement in scaling best practices across accounts.
• Identify and Surface Expansion Opportunities: Act as a trusted advisor who understands the customer's evolving needs and business priorities. While not responsible for direct sales, TAMs play a critical role in identifying new use cases and scaling opportunities that Customer Business Executives (CBEs) can engage on commercially.
• Catalyze Expansion: Provide technical insight to Account Management and CBEs to accelerate and de-risk expansion and renewal opportunities.
• Activate Partners: Collaborate with Solution Partners and validate technical quality of partner-delivered solutions for your assigned accounts.
• Close the Feedback Loop: Be the voice of the customer to Product and Engineering; especially around product limitations, roadmap priorities, and repeatability.
• Champion Cognite Culture: Model curiosity, empathy, and speed in cross-functional collaboration to bring out the best in our teams and our customers.
