About the role

  • You will own and manage a portfolio of accounts, serving as the primary point of contact and trusted advisor throughout the customer lifecycle
  • Guide customers through complex integrations, including multi-workspace setups, SSO/SAML configurations, bot protections, and custom authentication flows
  • Drive revenue retention and expansion by proactively identifying risks, surfacing upsell opportunities, and partnering on custom pricing and packaging
  • Translate customer feedback and usage patterns into actionable insights for Product and Engineering, helping shape the Clerk roadmap
  • Collaborate with the Support team to build efficient escalation paths and ensure consistent customer experiences
  • Create and maintain technical documentation, onboarding guides, and internal knowledge resources that scale the team’s impact
  • Contribute to the development of the Customer Experience function as we build the systems and processes that will define how Clerk serves its largest customers

Requirements

  • 4+ years of experience in a customer-facing technical role (Technical Account Manager, Solutions Engineer, Solutions Architect, Sales Engineer, or similar) at a developer tools or SaaS company
  • Strong understanding of web authentication, identity management, and related protocols (OAuth, SAML, OIDC, JWTs). Prior experience with auth platforms is a strong plus
  • Able to read and discuss code with customers across modern web frameworks (React, Next.js, Node.js, etc) and debug integration issues alongside engineering teams
  • Proven track record of managing customer accounts and driving retention and expansion through trusted advisory relationships
  • Comfort operating with high autonomy in a fast-moving, globally distributed team where priorities shift and you’re expected to drive outcomes, not wait for direction
  • Experience working with CRMs (e.g. Attio, Salesforce), support platforms (e.g. Plain, Zendesk, Intercom) and async communication tools (e.g. Slack)
  • Excellent written and verbal communication—you can translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders and advocate persuasively for customer needs internally.
