Technical Account Manager (Premium Support)
WHO WE ARE
Duck Creek Technologies is the intelligent solutions provider defining the future of the property and casualty (P&C) insurance industry. Our modern SaaS platform enables insurers to run agile, cloud-based operations and deliver better customer experiences.
Duck Creek is a flexible-first company, offering employees autonomy in how they manage their work. As part of our Flying Together approach, we are thoughtfully increasing opportunities for in-person collaboration by focusing on hiring in designated locations. This role is aligned to a specific location, and you’ll partner with your leader to participate in meaningful in-person moments that support team connection and collaboration.
ABOUT VISTA
Duck Creek Technologies is a portfolio company of Vista Equity Partners, a global investment firm that partners with mission-critical enterprise software and technology-enabled businesses to drive growth and operational excellence. As part of a Vista portfolio company, you’ll work in an environment backed by deep expertise, long-term investment, and a strong commitment to building market-leading businesses and meaningful careers.
POSITION OVERVIEW
In this role, you'll sit at the intersection of customers, support, engineering, and cloud operations—owning the customer support experience, leading critical escalations, and ensuring issues are resolved quickly and effectively.

5+ years in Technical Account Management, Enterprise Support, Escalation Management, SRE, Support Engineering, or Service Operations

Success in This Role Looks Like
• Customers trust you as their primary operational partner
• Critical incidents are managed with confidence and transparency
• SLA commitments are consistently achieved
• Escalations are resolved efficiently through strong cross-functional leadership
