About the Role

Professional Services team members are critical to our customers’ success. They combine enterprise-grade project ownership, deep Klaviyo and martech expertise, and consultative engagement skills to deliver high-impact implementations and strategic technical solutions for complex customers. They lead scoped, post-sales engagements, shaping how work is delivered and scaled.

 

In this role, you will:

• Own strategic customer engagements end-to-end, from shaping delivery in partnership with Sales to driving successful implementation and long-term adoption alongside Customer Success and Partner teams.
• Operate as a senior individual contributor who is trusted by customers and internal stakeholders to lead through complexity, influence at the executive level, and consistently deliver measurable outcomes for enterprise accounts.
• Combine strong delivery/project leadership with technical depth and solution design.

 

How You’ll Make a Difference

Core Responsibilities

Shape and scope strategic engagements

• Assist in defining Statements of Work (SOWs) that clearly articulate scope, deliverables, timelines, dependencies, and success metrics for complex technical engagements, ensuring alignment between customer goals and Klaviyo delivery capabilities.
• Lead consultative conversations with customers to clarify business objectives, identify risks, and translate desired outcomes into actionable technical implementation plans.

 

Lead strategic technical engagements

• Serve as the owner for key technical phases of the customer journey, ensuring projects are delivered on time, on budget, and in line with agreed outcomes.
• Build strong stakeholder relationships and communicate effectively with internal and external stakeholders to maintain visibility, accountability, and momentum toward customer goals.
• Anticipate risks, build mitigation strategies, and adjust plans to keep enterprise projects on track.

 

Act as a strategic advisor and subject-matter expert

• Become a deep expert in the Klaviyo platform and surrounding martech ecosystem, from data models and integrations to messaging channels (Email, SMS) and CDP use cases.
• Translate customer business goals into technical and operational solutions that leverage platform capabilities and best practices.
• Educate and enable internal teams and customer stakeholders, becoming the go-to resource for complex questions, best practices, and solution tradeoffs.

 

Drive repeatable, scalable solutions and continuous improvement

• Approach engagements with a highly analytical mindset - solving for the specific customer first, then identifying patterns and codifying repeatable solutions or feeding insights to internal product and engineering teams.
• Contribute to internal initiatives and process improvements that elevate overall Professional Services delivery quality and consistency.
• Maintain excellent operational hygiene by regularly updating tools and systems (e.g., project status, risks, timesheets) without management reminders.

 

Lead through influence and mentorship

• Demonstrate executive presence and the ability to articulate solution tradeoffs, securing buy-in from technical and non-technical stakeholders across all organizational levels.
• Provide informal coaching and mentorship to peers, sharing best practices and supporting skill development across the team.

 

Technical Solution Leadership

• Serve as an ongoing technical advisor for enterprise customers, translating business goals into robust technical designs that align with objectives and industry best practices.

• Take full ownership of technical deliverables and their project milestones, collaborating with customer teams and internal teams to ensure high-quality outcomes.
• Use your technical expertise to design and prototype tailored and scalable solutions for internal and external projects.
• Quantify and communicate business cases for product enhancements, using evidence from customer usage to inform roadmap discussions for enterprise needs.
• Act with urgency and precision to troubleshoot complex technical issues, ensuring customers receive best-in-class support during critical moments.

 

Who You Are

Experience

• 4+ years in SaaS Professional Services, implementation, solution consulting, or similar customer-facing technical roles, with a track record of leading enterprise-level projects or solutioning.
• Proven success working with multiple stakeholders across diverse teams and departments in complex, often global, environments.

 

Consultative & Commercial Acumen

• Comfortable articulating how Professional Services accelerate time to value and business impact.
• Adept at balancing technical depth with commercial clarity, ensuring proposed engagements are both feasible to deliver and impactful for customers.

 

Domain & Technical Skills

• Hands-on experience with modern web development languages/frameworks (eg. HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and general-purpose programming languages (eg. Node, Python), and a proven ability to learn new languages and technical concepts with minimal guidance.
• Strong understanding of the martech landscape and surrounding technologies, including Email, SMS/Mobile, and how to leverage a CDP for advanced use cases.
• Demonstrated familiarity with APIs, webhooks, and integrating SaaS platforms into complex enterprise tech stacks; able to guide customers toward best-practice architectures.

 

Leadership & Collaboration

• Demonstrated executive presence and ability to engage, influence, and align C-level and senior stakeholders.
• Excellent communicator across written, verbal, and virtual channels, able to convey and translate technical and marketing concepts to a range of audiences (project managers, marketers, developers, executives).
• A strong collaborator with a positive attitude, curiosity, and eagerness to learn, who thrives in a rapidly changing environment.
• Experience acting as a technical advisor or architect for complex implementations, especially in martech, CDP, or B2C CRM contexts.

 

Working Style

• Proactive, resourceful problem-solver who takes ownership and drives solutions forward autonomously.
• Consistently maintains operational rigor (status updates, risks, time tracking) without management reminders.
• Interested in mentoring others and contributing to team-level execution and enablement beyond individual delivery.
