Job Description

This role will be based in Sunnyvale.

At Linked In, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. The work location of this role is hybrid, meaning it will be performed both from home and from a Linked In office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team.

As an Associate Technical Services Manager, you will monitor product health and quality based on data gathered from multiple sources (including real-time product monitoring, member escalations, social media, and help center discussions), prioritize issues, and work directly with Engineering and Product Management to implement changes to deliver the best member & customer experience possible.

Your team is the last stop before engineering, so the most complex issues not resolved through other support channels are escalated to you to investigate, triage, and resolve. Associate Technical Services Managers aggregate and analyze member bugs/issues using internal tools, path analysis reports, available data, and then work with their Product & Engineering stakeholders to drive fixes for key product issues, prioritized based upon issue volume, members impacted, revenue impact, and other relevant factors.

In addition to providing operational support for member escalations and product bugs, Associate Technical Services Managers are also expected to drive strategic initiatives to improve product quality. Associate Technical Services Managers also play an essential role in product launches and sunsets, ensuring readiness from a product quality perspective and providing supporting technical services.
