Technical Account Manager

A key ingredient of our success and our growth are our Technical Account Managers
(TAMs). Our TAMs look after named, existing Ab Initio customers, and support our sales
staff in new accounts. Their role is simple; to make those customers successful with Ab Initio
software. This typically entails building and maintaining an exceptionally strong working
relationship with the customer, at many levels of their organisation, liaising with their
decision makers and architects to disseminate and communicate the value of Ab Initio and to
explain how the software fits their requirements, and shaping and leading consulting
engagements with those organisations to demonstrate the Ab Initio value-add.
