Associate Director, Support & Training Services

About this role

Responsibilities

• Team Leadership: Directly manage and mentor a lean group of Support Engineers and Academy Specialists, fostering a "product-first" mindset.
• Lifecycle Management: Own the product lifecycle for support/academy offerings - from initial concept and pricing to operational rollout and performance measurement.
• Strategic Reporting: Define and track KPIs that prove value to the customer (e.g., Adoption, Time-to-Value) and value to Bloomreach (e.g., Retention, Margin).
• Feedback Loops: Translate "Premium Plus" client insights into actionable feedback for the Core Product, Engineering teams, and Academy Enablement.
• Key Competencies:
• The "Builder" Mindset: Proven ability to turn an unstructured or a new service into a standardized, repeatable system.
• Commercial & Financial Fluency: Comfortable with unit economics, P&L management, and capacity planning.
• High-Stakes Communication: Ability to defend product boundaries and handle executive-level escalations.
• Analytical Rigor: Uses data, not anecdotes, to determine if a service tier is successful or needs to be retired.
• Ideal Profile:
• 6–8 years of experience in Product Management, Customer Operations, or Enablement Leadership.
• Customer Facing Experience: You have worked directly with clients and client leadership.
• Direct Management Experience: You have led technical ICs and know how to drive performance without getting stuck in the weeds.
• Experience in "Productizing" Services: You have a track record of taking a "service" and turning it into a "sku" with a clear margin.
• Pragmatic & Data-Driven: You are a builder, not a consultant. You prefer a working dashboard over a slide deck.
