Role Description

The Engagement Manager is key to ensuring our customers realize business value from their investment.   The ideal candidate will combine a strong working knowledge of technology (cloud, data, mar/ad-tech) with the ability to deliver on business strategy (adoption, use case definition, stakeholder management) for large enterprise customers.  Our Engagement Manager team operates on the front lines of this emerging technology category, and plays a critical role in defining and expanding the ways in which Clean Room technology is leveraged for customer use cases, spanning marketing and digital advertising to more general data collaboration and Data Science needs.  This role will work in close collaboration with Analytics, Sales, Product & Engineering teams.
