About the role

The Critical Situation Manager owns the customer-facing response when a customer's trust in the platform has been shaken by a significant efficacy or product concern. This role engages when a customer's feedback is substantive and requires a coordinated investigation and response from R&D and other technical teams.

What they're looking for

  • 5-7 years of customer-facing experience in a technical role (TAM, SE, Support, or related enterprise SaaS roles) with a proven track record in managing escalations
  • Sufficient technical fluency in Abnormal's detection architecture and investigation tooling to engage credibly with both R&D and customers without a technical translator
  • Demonstrated success in leading de-escalations for complex, strategic customers, and strong judgment in assessing the right level of response to a customer concern
  • Strong understanding of customer lifecycle, support workflows, and escalation management best practices
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including executive-level communication with customers and internal stakeholders
  • Comfort owning complex, multi-week engagements through to resolution, not just leading an initial call
