Job DescriptionRole Purpose
The Technical Account Manager (TAM) owns the technical relationship for a portfolio of Wavenet’s managed IT customers.
The role exists to bridge the gap between reactive support and commercial account management, ensuring customers receive proactive technical guidance, clear planning, and consistent service quality.
As a trusted technical advisor, the TAM understands each customer’s real‑world environment, identifies risk and improvement opportunities, and helps customers get the best possible value from their managed services.

- Ensure clarity around what is in scope, out of scope, supported, and unsupported.
- Contribute to internal reporting on customer health, risk, and engagement.
