Gong is a Revenue AI Operating System that helps enterprise sales teams win through AI-powered intelligence and workflow automation. The Technical Account Specialist (TAS) role is a pooled, advisory position—not a traditional dedicated TAM role—where you'll serve as a technical expert guiding both Premium and non-Premium customers through complex technical scenarios. You will lead scoped, time-bound technical advisory engagements from discovery through closure, clarifying customer objectives, gathering examples, aligning stakeholders, documenting recommendations, and confirming outcomes. Your responsibilities include: • Deliver consultative best-practice guidance on product capabilities, integration health, and configuration on an ad-hoc basis • Translate complex technical challenges into customer outcomes by identifying adoption blockers, recommending configuration changes, and optimizing high-impact workflows • Partner cross-functionally with Revenue Architects (Customer Success), Professional Services, Product, and R&D to distinguish technical advisory needs from break-fix issues and product gaps • Own and deliver technical health reviews, including ticket trend analysis, configuration audits, and improvement recommendations • Build reusable technical knowledge by documenting patterns, surfacing product and documentation gaps, and contributing to playbooks and enablement • Support customer requests including security questionnaires, custom development updates, and third-party integration guidance • Leverage AI/LLM tools to synthesize technical information, accelerate health reviews, and produce clear customer-facing insights This role requires comfort context-switching across a pooled portfolio of customers and shifting priorities rather than managing a fixed book of business. You'll work in a fast-paced, high-growth environment with a bias for clarity, ownership, and collaboration. REQUIREMENTS: • 3–5+ years in a technical customer-facing role (TSE, TAM, Solutions Engineer, or similar) • Strong technical acumen and curiosity—able to understand system architecture, APIs, integrations, and troubleshooting workflows • Excellent communication and customer engagement skills, especially in high-stakes or urgent situations • Experience working with enterprise customers and cross-functional teams (Product, Engineering, Customer Success, Professional Services) • Proven ability to quickly build credibility and trust with customers without an ongoing, dedicated relationship • Comfort context-switching across a pooled portfolio of customers and shifting priorities • Ability to strategically leverage AI/LLM tools to synthesize technical information and produce clear customer-facing insights • Proven ability to translate technical details into clear, actionable next steps for non-technical stakeholders • Comfort operating in a fast-paced, high-growth environment with a bias for clarity, ownership, and collaboration
