The Engagement Manager drives customer success, manages projects from kickoff to delivery, and collaborates with technical teams to enhance AI adoption.
At Shakudo, we’re building the world’s first operating system for data and AI.

We are seeking a seasoned Engagement Manager to join our team and play a critical role in driving customer success while shaping the future of AI adoption in the enterprise.

At Shakudo, our culture is proactive, collaborative, and supportive—we succeed together by building strong partnerships and solving complex challenges.

-Safeguard long-term customer relationships by proactively identifying and addressing risks or concerns.
-Establish effective feedback loops between customers and Shakudo’s product, engineering, and go-to-market teams.
