About the role

Postman is hiring a Senior Manager, Customer Success Engineering to lead Customer Success Engineering in EMEA and APAC. This leader will manage CSEs, ensuring the team is focused on the customers where Postman can create outsized impact, while providing the coaching, inspection, and operational discipline required for consistently high-quality execution.
