About the Role
This is a hands-on role where you will own the full client lifecycle from requirements gathering through to production deployment and ongoing support. You will be responsible for a portfolio of clients, acting as their technical point of contact for all non-support matters, and support escalation point. The value of a TAM lies in bridging client-facing and technical skills: you understand the product deeply enough to deploy it and troubleshoot advanced issues, and you communicate well enough to manage client expectations and negotiate with third parties.
Responsibilities

- Track and follow through on high-priority issues to ensure the timely delivery of sensitive changes

- Focus on the technical client relationship and serve as the primary liaison for Client Clearing contacts
- Ensure a clear understanding of the client's technical goals, infrastructure, data flows, and business needs
- Host and attend regular conference calls on projects, on-boarding, and ongoing issues
- Perform regular client status reviews and follow up on outstanding items
- On-board new clients and deliver training
- Perform software deliveries and prepare upgrade procedures for deployed solution
- Create technical specifications for changes or new modules
- Validate deliverables from a functional perspective—does it meet the client's original requirements?
- You are accountable for what goes out to the client: nothing is delivered without your validation
- Demo features to clients before delivery when significant changes are involved
- Work with the TT Exchange connectivity team to coordinate with exchanges and third parties at the start of projects - negotiate test environments, obtain credentials and documentation
- Manage timelines across multiple external parties (exchanges, infrastructure teams, developers)
- Negotiate alternatives when standard prerequisites are not available (e.g. client-provided connectivity)
- Raise development requests through the appropriate channels
- Track proposals and ensure all client requests are properly captured and followed up

- Comfortable working with software deployments and upgrade procedures
- Strong communication skills managing expectations, running calls, being a trusted point of contact.
- Ability to drive progress with exchanges and third parties without having authority over their timelines
- Comprehensive expertise in coordinating between technical teams and business stakeholders
- Track record of managing 10 to 20 demanding clients, managing their expectations, with minimal escalations and oversight
