Position Title: Senior Escalation Manager

External Description:

 Our Team

The Escalation Management team is there to ensure project-level escalations are addressed in an organized and transparent process.  Escalation Managers work closely with both the customer and Informatica parties to make sure problems and success criteria are clearly understood, that there is a well-defined action plan to achieve success and that communications are clear and predictable.  Escalation Managers are primarily organizers and communicators, ensuring all accountable parties execute on success plan activity and that all stakeholders receive updates pertaining to their level of involvement.  Escalation Management is another service provided to our customers to streamline the path to the realization of value from all of our products.

Your Opportunity

We are looking for an Escalation Manager to handle escalations from the APAC and EMEA regions.  You will be working closely with Global Customer Support, R&D, Product Management, and the various customer-facing teams – Sales, Professional Services, Alliances and Customer Success Management – to resolve situations where the regular support process was insufficient.  You will represent the interests of both Informatica and our customers and will be called upon to come up with creative, mutually acceptable solutions to complex situations. 

Our Ideal Candidate

We are looking for an individual with proven customer-facing project or escalation management experience.  Our candidate must have worked in the software industry and be familiar with newer technical trends such as Software as a Service and Big Data, as well as having a working understanding of Data Management in general, including data warehousing, master data management, and data quality.  Our candidate must be able to communicate clearly, both verbally and in writing, at a senior corporate management level.  Our candidate must also have an organized, detail-oriented mindset that is critical to taming the whirlwind of activity that is often the result of situations having gone out of control for too long.  This position also requires a high level of confidence, pragmatism and calm in order to have the difficult conversations that are required to make progress during escalations.
