Full Job Description
Position Summary

At Harness, our Customer Account Manager own the customer's success from onboarding through implementation and adoption.

  • Program-manage multi-workstream implementations: roadmap, milestones, scope, resourcing, and risk, coordinating Harness and customer teams throughout.
  • Lead the engagement cadence: weekly status, proactive risk management, and clear communication, owning next steps rather than waiting for them.
  • Drive product adoption and customer health, spotting risks early and resolving them with urgency.
  • Run executive business reviews that showcase ROI and open the door to deeper adoption.
  • Maintain clean project and delivery hygiene across your portfolio

About you
