Bloomreach is seeking an Associate Director, Support & Academy Products to transform Bloomreach’s high-touch services (Support Premium Services & Academy Enablement Services) into a scalable, high-margin Product Portfolio. You will define, package, and operationalize structured deliverables that drive platform adoption and measurable ROI, while directly leading the technical specialists who deliver them.

Primary Objectives:

  • Productize the Service Layer: Standardize "Premium Plus" and Academy offerings into clear tiers with defined SLAs, fixed deliverables, and rigorous "out-of-scope" boundaries.
  • P&L & Margin Ownership: Partner with Finance to maintain a clean P&L. Track contribution margins, utilization rates, and the cost-to-serve to ensure sustainable growth.
  • Operational Architecture: Build the "machine" that delivers the service. Transition the team from bespoke, reactive tasks to a proactive, repeatable delivery framework.
  • GTM Partnership: Collaborate with Sales and Account Management to ensure our support products are positioned correctly and sold at the right value point.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Team Leadership: Directly manage and mentor a lean group of Support Engineers and Academy Specialists, fostering a "product-first" mindset.
  • Lifecycle Management: Own the product lifecycle for support/academy offerings - from initial concept and pricing to operational rollout and performance measurement.
  • Strategic Reporting: Define and track KPIs that prove value to the customer (e.g., Adoption, Time-to-Value) and value to Bloomreach (e.g., Retention, Margin).
  • Feedback Loops: Translate "Premium Plus" client insights into actionable feedback for the Core Product, Engineering teams, and Academy Enablement.

Key Competencies:

  • The "Builder" Mindset: Proven ability to turn an unstructured or a new service into a standardized, repeatable system.
  • Commercial & Financial Fluency: Comfortable with unit economics, P&L management, and capacity planning.
  • High-Stakes Communication: Ability to defend product boundaries and handle executive-level escalations.
  • Analytical Rigor: Uses data, not anecdotes, to determine if a service tier is successful or needs to be retired.

Ideal Profile:

  • 6–8 years of experience in Product Management, Customer Operations, or Enablement Leadership.

Customer Facing Experience: You have worked directly with clients and client leadership.

  • Direct Management Experience: You have led technical ICs and know how to drive performance without getting stuck in the weeds.
  • Experience in "Productizing" Services: You have a track record of taking a "service" and turning it into a "sku" with a clear margin.
  • Pragmatic & Data-Driven: You are a builder, not a consultant. You prefer a working dashboard over a slide deck.
