Role Overview:

• This role is a hands-on people manager and cross-functional leader for the Redline Product Management team, operating as a true player/coach.
• The Manager will oversee a team of three practitioners spanning Technical Account Management (TAM), Sales Engineering, and Product Management.
• The role will also directly own and execute a portion of the team’s highest-impact work (e.g., key customer accounts/escalations, strategic deals/POCs, and priority product initiatives).
• The Manager is accountable for translating customer needs into a clear product direction, enabling successful revenue outcomes through field-facing technical support, and ensuring customer success and adoption of the products post-sale.
• The role requires strong technical depth, commercial judgment, and the ability to build scalable processes across the product lifecycle and customer lifecycle.

Role at a glance: this role will focus on 50% Technical Account Management & Customer Success, 30% Sales Engineering, and 20% Product Management & People Leadership.

Key Responsibilities:

• People Leadership & Team Operations: Manage, coach, and develop a team spanning Product Management, Sales Engineering, and Technical Account Management; set clear goals, expectations, and growth plans. Lead by example by directly owning high-impact discovery/requirements, strategic pre-sales engagements, and key customer accounts or escalations to unblock delivery. Establish regular customer health reviews and pipeline reviews with the team.
• Technical Account Management (TAM) & Customer Success: Own the post-sales technical relationship for a portfolio of Redline customers, acting as a trusted advisor; run regular touchpoints (weekly/bi-weekly and QBRs) to track objectives, adoption, and upcoming needs. Provide front-line technical guidance and escalation management: best practices, configuration, performance tuning, troubleshooting, and coordination of fixes. Coordinate across Engineering/Production Services to resolve incidents; ensure timely communications, workarounds, and root-cause follow-up. Build feedback loops between customer learnings and engineering execution (bugs, feature requests, performance issues, exchange-driven changes).
• Sales Engineering & Pre-Sales Enablement: Serve as senior technical partner to Sales: qualify opportunities, shape solution scope, and reduce technical risk. Lead customer discovery and architecture workshops; translate business needs into technical designs, and implementation plans (including sizing/performance guidance). Own and execute POCs/evaluations: define success criteria, coordinate resources, troubleshoot issues, and document outcomes. Understand and explain Redline products and APIs (C/Java and related tooling) to technical audiences.
• Product Management Responsibilities: Develop deep expertise across Redline products and how they fit into customers’ trading workflows. Translate customer and market inputs into clear requirements and maintain a prioritized backlog in partnership with Engineering (roadmap, defects, performance).

• Customer-first mindset with proven ability to build trusted relationships and manage escalations professionally.
• Proficiency with common productivity and collaboration tools (Microsoft Office; documentation and tracking tools such as JIRA/Confluence; CRM such as Salesforce is helpful).
• Programming proficiency in C/C++ and/or Java; familiarity with Linux and performance tuning; scripting (Python/shell).
