About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Run the Integration Specialist team: you set the bar, run the 1:1s, build the leveling rubric, and stand behind every commit the team makes. People grow here or you change something
Team throughput as a real metric: you forecast capacity, manage queue depth, and drive integrations-per-specialist-per-quarter up quarter after quarter. The systems that get you there (tooling, templates, SOPs) are yours to build
Integration delivery end to end: scoping, build, QA, handoff. You translate customer and partner needs into clean technical scope and represent integration realities — rate limits, deprecation risk, partner constraints — in every design review
The integration portfolio as an ongoing business asset: usage, error rates, partner SLAs, incident response. You make the maintenance, deprecation, and version-upgrade calls with a clear cost/benefit view, not by default
Partner relationships that matter: top integration partners run through you. Technical escalations, co-build conversations, co-marketing — you are the credible point of contact and you bring opportunities back for the commercial team to act on
Integration-led deals with Sales, CS, and Product: feasibility calls, contract language, rollout, retention. When integrations are the thing standing between us and a deal, you are in the room and you have a point of view

Requirements

What you’ll need

2+ years managing a technical or technical-adjacent team, with evidence of leveling up junior members into senior operators
Hands-on with integration craft: REST APIs, webhooks, OAuth, common iPaaS and middleware patterns. You can read code, hold your own in design discussions, and tell a customer config problem from a product bug fast
You have built systems that compound team throughput before — tooling, templates, runbooks — and you can point at the before and after
Comfort in both engineering reviews and partner conversations. You move from a technical escalation with a partner to a feasibility call with Sales without changing register
Capacity-planning instincts: you know what the team can hold, what it should not commit to, and how to say no in a way that keeps the relationship intact
Ownership mentality: scope does not constrain you, outcomes do
