ControlUp is a leader in Digital Employee Experience (DEX), evolving IT operations with agentic AI to deliver Autonomous Endpoint Management (AEM) and a digital workspace that runs itself.
Our platform transforms millions of real-time signals into intelligent action, bridging the gap between deep visibility and automated remediation. We turn "IT headaches" and employee frustration into self-healing operations, allowing organizations to move beyond reactive troubleshooting toward a future where technology works seamlessly in the background.
We’re here to ensure the workday runs without disruptions. No tool sprawl, no wasted time, and no friction. Just technology that works for people, not against them, so they can stay focused on what they do best.
One platform. One powerful shift in how work flows.
As a Technical Relationship Manager (TRM), you will serve as a trusted technical advisor and customer advocate, providing white-glove service to help enterprise customers maximize the value of ControlUp’s solutions. This role is instrumental in ensuring a seamless customer journey, from initial design and onboarding through ongoing adoption, expansion, and optimization.
You will work closely with customers to design, implement, and configure ControlUp solutions tailored to their unique needs and deliver strategic guidance, workshops, and best practices.
Ultimately, the goal of this role is to maintain and grow a portfolio of highly engaged customers who not only achieve significant business value but also become vocal advocates for ControlUp. The TRM will typically manage 12-15 strategic accounts.
Reports to the Manager, TRM Americas.
ControlUp TRMs are experienced IT professionals with a deep understanding of end-user technology and IT operations. They are not only technically proficient but also strong communicators who can clearly articulate the "how" and "why" of ControlUp’s solutions, influencing customers to fully leverage the platform.
Successful TRMs are self-motivated, charismatic problem-solvers who thrive on working collaboratively with customers to solve complex technical challenges faced by IT Operations teams across industries, while continuing to push the boundaries of their own knowledge each day.
