The job, in the employer's words
At Affirm, we exist for the moments that matter—giving people a clear, predictable way to pay over time, with no hidden fees, no surprises, and no tradeoffs on what matters most.
In this role you will lead a team of our world class Technical Account Managers (TAMs), representing and supporting our SMB merchants. As the manager, you will oversee a talented team of TAMs who are responsible for the technical success of our SMB merchants post-sale. You will support and guide your team towards best practice solutions as they advise merchant developers, product teams, and key business partners throughout the entire lifecycle, from initial product integration through expansion and scale. This team is tasked with not only guiding their merchants to avoid pitfalls, but to take advantage of more of Affirm’s offerings; solving business objectives with technical strategies and product optimizations.

- Forecast the demand for TAMs and recruit as necessary
- Technically, you will evaluate new hires on their technical capabilities, handle escalations from your own team, provide guidance to the TAMs on integration solutions, troubleshooting and optimization opportunities, and be seen as an expert by our customers
- Be a strong internal advocate for our merchants, working cross functionally to make sure their highest priorities are being met
What we look for
- At least five years in a b2b customer facing technical role and three years as a people manager.
- A strong technical background in web development technologies and REST APIs, with a computer science degree or professional engineering experience.
