RemoteManager
Pendo's Data & GTM Intelligence org exists to make the revenue organization faster, smarter, and more effective. We sit at the intersection of data, AI, and GTM execution. We hold ourselves accountable to whether the teams we support are getting measurable, lasting value from our work.
This role owns the operational foundation for Pendo's Customer Engineering organization: process design, planning cycles, and strategic partnership with CE leadership. You stay close to the business - deeply embedded in the CE org, with a point of view on where process, data, or AI could unlock better outcomes. You also serve as the CE pod lead, the coordination point for Applied AI, Business Systems, and Data work that touches your function.
You operate with significant autonomy. You identify what is broken, design the solution, and bring stakeholders along. The best person for this role has strong customer success and sales engineering domain knowledge, sharp analytical instincts, and genuine enthusiasm for rebuilding operations around AI.
Beyond the qualifications, we hire through a specific lens. These aren't buzzwords; they're the things we'll actually look for in how you talk about your work.
You're a builder, not a maintainer.
You're most energized when there isn't a clear path yet, and you get to define it. You don't wait for direction; you identify gaps, shape solutions, and drive them forward. At Pendo, great leaders don't just manage delivery they operate as strategic owners, setting direction, influencing decisions across the org, and making the teams around them better.
You're AI-curious genuinely.
You're not using AI tools occasionally. You're rewiring how you work around them. You're faster, sharper, and more prolific because of it, and you bring that energy to everything: how you evaluate new tooling, how you think about governance, how you build platforms that let others do the same. We want someone who sees AI as a multiplier, not a shortcut and who understands what it actually takes to make AI safe and reliable at company scale.
