Provide technical leadership during critical incidents and complex escalations, ensuring effective stakeholder coordination, timely communication, sound technical direction, and disciplined follow-through.
Review Root Cause Analyses for technical accuracy, clarity, and completeness, and help translate findings into preventive actions and customer-relevant outcomes.
Guide customers through upgrades, migrations, releases, changes, capacity considerations, resilience planning, and other key events across their cloud lifecycle.
Champion customer priorities internally, helping OpenText teams understand business impact, urgency, and the technical context required to make informed decisions.
Develop deep expertise in one or more OpenText solutions or technical domains and use that expertise to strengthen customer outcomes and team capability.
Create and deliver reusable knowledge, technical guidance, and best practices that improve consistency, readiness, and scale across the broader Technical Success organization.

Requirements

A minimum of 5–7 years of experience in technical consulting, technical account management, cloud services, enterprise application management, or a comparable customer-facing technology role.
Demonstrated experience owning strategic customer relationships, leading technical governance, managing complex stakeholder environments, and guiding customers through critical lifecycle events.

Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm, with the curiosity and willingness to continue developing cloud-native expertise.
Experience operating within an ITIL-based service delivery model and an understanding of incident, problem, change, availability, capacity, and service-level management.
Working knowledge of SQL and scripting or programming technologies such as shell, batch, Java, JavaScript, or Python is an asset.
Experience with OpenText products such as Content Suite or SuccessFactors is an asset.
