As our strategic Escalation Manager, you will be the definitive owner and quarterback guiding our most critical, complex upmarket customer crises to resolution. We are scaling rapidly and need a driven, dedicated leader to own the lifecycle of high-stakes enterprise account escalations from the moment a risk state is triggered to its final resolution. This is a highly visible, cross-functional role sitting directly at the intersection of our Go-To-Market (GTM) teams and our technical organizations (R&D, Product, and Support). Rather than acting as a passive intermediary, you will build a deep understanding of the Gong platform, translate complex roadblocks into actionable technical requirements, deploy the right resources, and masterfully manage both internal and external stakeholders.

Build the Escalation Playbook: Mature existing escalation workflows by designing repeatable frameworks, communication templates, and post-mortem processes that upskill frontline GTM teams. QUALIFICATIONS  5+ Years of Relevant Experience: A proven track record in Technical Account Management (TAM), Enterprise Support Leadership, Incident Management, or Technical Program Management (TPM) within a complex B2B SaaS environment.
