At Khoros, our passion is to help the world's best brands create customers for life. We build products we're proud of, and we're passionate about Customer Experience. As part of the Vista Equity family, you'll receive best in class development opportunities and the ability to work with customers like Google, Microsoft, Disney and Sprint.

We are building a new, innovative team of Customer Experience experts designed to be an integral part of cross-functional sales teams having differentiating, solutions-focused discussions with our Customers. These teams help Customers define their vision for their own Customer Experience, craft the just right Khoros Professional Services packages to ensure Khoros software delivers on those Customer Experiences, and are strong examples of what it is to be a Khoros Customer. 

The Traffic Manager is the central contact point for all deal support work that flows through the Customer Experience team. Once a request for team support has been opened in our Sales Request system the Traffic Manager will evaluate the request for completeness, timing considerations, and resources required to fulfill the request. Working with Customer Experience Team leadership and standard processes for assignment, the Traffic Manager will direct the request to team members to join the broader deal team and fulfill the request. The Traffic Manager monitors all active requests to ensure they are moving through the process and to identify and remediate blockers to completion. The Traffic Manager is also responsible for generating weekly reports of team and request status and doing ongoing analysis of team velocity and capacity. 

While not required a background in Agile methodologies is highly valued as the team considers the role that Agile principles might play in managing team velocity and scale. 

This role is part of the Customer Success/Operations Team but will work broadly across the organization to collaborate and build processes and solutions required to craft exceptional Customer Experiences. In particular, our most important partners are in the Sales organization. We will work together to acquire, serve, and delight customers.
