The Opportunity

Are you an experienced professional with a strong technical background in customer experience and a deep-seated passion for building lasting relationships with senior-level customers? If so, you will thrive on our team which values collaboration, technical credibility, and the opportunity to drive customer success through innovative solutions using Nutanix technology, all while having the potential for career advancement in a supportive and empowering environment.

About the Team

At Nutanix, you would be joining the Customer Success team, a group dedicated to driving  adoption and ensuring customer satisfaction with our hybrid multicloud solutions for our strategic customers. This cohesive team is deeply motivated by a shared commitment to ensuring our customers' long-term success and value realization. Operating from key locations, the team prides itself on fostering collaboration and building strong relationships with customers. The culture emphasizes teamwork, deep technical credibility, and a commitment to being trusted advisors, which aligns with the mission of enhancing customer experience and delivering value through effective engagement and proactive support. 

This is a technical role that requires strong customer management skills. You’ll collaborate with customer IT operations and architecture teams, as well as with business and IT leadership.

The work setup is primarily remote, allowing you to operate efficiently within your designated region without the need for a traditional office space. Instead of commuting to an office every day, you'll spend most of your time engaging directly with customers to build relationships, understand their needs, resolve their issues, and drive their outcomes. The role does require weekly travel within your region, but you can expect overnight stays due to the regional landscape and logistics, ensuring you remain connected to both your customers and your team.

Additional team-specific guidance and norms will be provided by your manager.
