Your New Role...
We are hiring a Senior Manager, Technical Account Manager (TAM) to join our team. The Global Partner Integration Team, within the DTC Global Platform Team, owns and manages go-to-market partner integrations, including affiliate-owned set-top box (STB) integrations, for WBD. These integrations focus on back-office systems, such as authentication, authorisation, shared identity, billing, and entitlement services, along with apps deployed on affiliate-owned equipment (set-top boxes, or STBs). These integrations enable our partners to sell or bundle our services to their customers and allow those customers seamless access across our experiences.

Your work and approach are exemplary: you drive best practices and set standards for your team.
