Senior Manager, Professional Services

Intercom is the AI Customer Service company on a mission to help businesses provide incredible customer experiences.

Our AI agent Fin, the most advanced customer service AI agent on the market, lets businesses deliver always-on, impeccable customer service and ultimately transform their customer experiences for the better. Fin can also be combined with our Helpdesk to become a complete solution called the Intercom Customer Service Suite, which provides AI enhanced support for the more complex or high touch queries that require a human agent.

Founded in 2011 and trusted by nearly 30,000 global businesses, Intercom is setting the new standard for customer service. Driven by our core values, we push boundaries, build with speed and intensity, and consistently deliver incredible value to our customers.

• Scale Partner Delivery Excellence: Collaborate with our Partnerships team to grow partner capabilities and introduce scalable enablement programs rooted in Intercom’s methodology.

• Represent Professional Services: Act as a go-to resource for prospects and customers who want to understand how our services accelerate success.
