Job Description

QASource is a leading provider of software QA and testing services, supporting enterprise and high-growth technology companies.

Our clients expect senior-level partnership, technical fluency, and strategic account leadership.


The Senior Technical Account Manager (Sr. TAM) is responsible for managing and expanding a focused portfolio of strategic, enterprise-level accounts within a defined territory. This role requires ownership of multi-million-dollar revenue targets, executive-level relationship management, and the ability to drive account expansion through consultative, technically informed engagement.

The Sr. TAM will manage a high-touch portfolio of approximately 5–8 strategic enterprise accounts. Success in this role requires disciplined account planning, proactive client engagement, in-person relationship development, and the ability to creatively land and expand business across multiple stakeholders within complex organizations.

  • Serve as the executive escalation point for complex delivery or client challenges.


Strategic Account Planning & Execution

  • Develop and maintain comprehensive strategic account plans for each assigned customer.
  • Maintain clear documentation of stakeholder mapping, growth objectives, expansion pathways, and execution milestones.
  • Track progress against defined revenue and relationship goals.
  • Execute consistently against a structured path toward growth.
  • Demonstrate strong organizational discipline in account tracking, forecasting, and internal coordination.
  • Organization, planning rigor, and follow-through are critical success factors in this role.


Technical & AI Fluency

  • Maintain broad knowledge of emerging AI technologies and their impact on software quality and engineering workflows.
  • Proactively stay current on AI tools, automation advancements, and testing innovations.
  • Translate AI-driven opportunities into relevant, business-aligned discussions with engineering stakeholders.
  • Position QASource’s AI-augmented testing capabilities in alignment with customer technology strategies.


Technical & Delivery Alignment

  • Collaborate closely with QA Managers, Engineering teams, and project leaders.
