From brilliant creatives, to technology trailblazers, across the globe, WBD offers career defining opportunities, thoughtfully curated benefits, and the tools to explore and grow into your best selves. Here you are supported, here you are celebrated, here you can thrive.

We are hiring senior technical account managers to join our team. The Global Partner Integration Team, within the DTC Global Platform Team, owns and manages Go to Market partner integrations for WBD. These integrations focus on back office systems, such as authentication, authorization, shared identity, billing and entitlement services, along with apps placed on affiliate owned equipment (set top boxes STB). These integrations enable our partners to sell or bundle our services to their customers, and allow those customers access throughout our experiences. This team works with external Affiliates and Partners through the lifetime of their integration, along with internal engineering, distribution, product and other stakeholder teams to not only efficiently launch these integrations, but ensure that they remain effective through the lifetime of the partner relationship.

The ideal candidate has a track record of participating in the implementation of high-performance, stable, scalable systems that have been successfully shipped to customers in production. Your work and your approach to work are exemplary: you recognize and implement best practices. You are an important contributor in your organization and the company’s strategy related to our go to market partner relationships. You show good judgement making trade-offs between immediate and long-term business needs. You are a collaborative partner that makes our stakeholders and other team members around you more productive. You have experience successfully representing your company to its affiliates and/or partners and have built and grown strategic alliances that strengthened both. You understand the level of information to share and how to communicate with both internal and external teams simultaneously.

Expectations Working with the affiliate from initial technical engagement through to launch is the primary responsibility of the Technical Account Manager (TAM). TAMs are the technical point of contact for the partners we are integrating with, and they are the voice of the partners to our internal teams. They must be technically astute and able to assess the partner’s capability to perform an integration accurately. They work closely with their partner teams to thoroughly explain functionality and field all questions quickly and effectively. They are able to work with our partners to identify and resolve all issues prior to implementation. TAM is responsible for identifying and defining requirements that are unique to partner integrations or devices, as well as driving technical negotiation and alignment with partners. They are responsible for driving partners to adapt to our standard integration architecture. They work with both internal and external partner engineering teams as necessary, and are the SME for each individual integration that they own. TAM represents the voice of partners. They are expected to take a data-driven approach to provide key partner insights about the integrations, and use these insights to improve our integration experience.

They ensure that partners stay within the defined strategy of the Partner Integration but have the ability to work with Product Management, Engineering, Program management, and other identified teams to work through questions if needed. These Specialists must have exceptional written and verbal communication skills with a background in technical production or program management, engineering, architecture, or some other technical role.
