Technical Account Manager

Brightspot • Reston, VA

1d • $135,000 - $145,000

About The Position

At Brightspot®, we believe technology should enable content-focused teams to work smarter, faster, and more seamlessly to move businesses forward. Our world-class delivery team has decades of collective experience supporting digital transformation efforts for some of the world’s most well-known companies – from eCommerce brands and media organizations to corporate businesses. Brightspot prides itself on being a leading content management system built to grow and adapt to any business.

We are seeking a Technical Account Manager to serve as a strategic, customer-facing leader for enterprise accounts. This individual will serve as the primary technical liaison between Brightspot and its customers, owning the relationship from a technical and operational standpoint while ensuring an exceptional, white-glove experience.

This is a high-visibility, high-impact position embedded within a marquee customer relationship. You will serve as the senior technical advisor, trusted operator, and cross-functional quarterback, ensuring seamless execution, proactive strategy, and exceptional customer experience.

This is not a hands-on programming role, but it requires strong technical credibility. The ideal candidate can confidently lead architecture-level discussions, coordinate incident response, and make targeted configuration adjustments when necessary.

If you thrive in ownership-heavy roles where your judgment, composure, and technical fluency directly shape customer success, this opportunity is for you.

• Experience managing high-pressure incidents and leading escalation bridges.
• Strong program/project management skills with demonstrated milestone ownership.
• Ability to work cross-functionally with engineering, product, support, and sales teams.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
• Demonstrated leadership and proactive ownership.
• Experience operating in on-call or high-availability environments.
• Familiarity with modern deployment practices and infrastructure tooling (e.g., Cloudflare or similar platforms)

• Own and lead bridge calls during priority incidents.
• Coordinate internal teams to ensure rapid resolution.
• Provide clear, timely communication to stakeholders throughout the incident lifecycle.
• Conduct post-incident reviews, including root cause summaries and action tracking.
