You’ll provide technical guidance, subject matter expertise, and strategic consultation to ensure projects succeed. This includes leading technical and editorial training, facilitating collaborative workshops, and guiding teams through architecture definition and design. Occasional travel (up to 25%) may be required for on-site engagements.

Beyond direct customer impact, you’ll bring back insights that shape Contentful itself. Your first-hand knowledge of how organizations use our platform will provide real-world context to our Product Management and Engineering teams, influencing product direction and ensuring we build with customer needs in mind.

What to expect?

• Create and deliver technical enablement on product platform features to customers as well as providing consultative advice & recommendations on specific implementation use cases
• Identify and propose comprehensive solution designs to complex business problems after running customer discovery sessions
• Keep abreast of Contentful product developments and synthesise these into best practices, workshops & enablement materials for our customers
• Create prototypes or code examples to facilitate customer onboarding and to support projects
• Maintain a foundational understanding of technologies related to Contentful as well as staying up to date with industry trends
• Continuously seek, synthesise and communicate customer product feedback to our Product Management, Engineering, and Marketing teams
• Support engagement managers on quoting and scoping of SOWs
• Partner with Sales, Customer Success Managers and Solution Engineers, to ensure a successful customer experience with Contentful
• Continuously improve your professional skills through activities such as training, reading and seeking mentorship from others

Within Contentful, you’ll collaborate closely with Technical Project Managers on customer implementations and partner cross-functionally with CSMs, Account Executives, Support, and Solution Engineers to ensure customer success. You’ll be responsible for identifying and managing risks, and for adapting in real time to help customers overcome obstacles.

Your customer-facing experience will enable you to refine best practices and deliver opinionated, experience-based guidance. Beyond direct engagements, you’ll have opportunities to contribute to Contentful’s thought leadership—whether through Voice of the Customer sessions with Product, writing blogs, leading workshops, or speaking at Contentful and industry events.
