At Gong, you will join a company built on innovative products, ambitious goals, and passionate people. We are shaping the future of revenue intelligence and we want people who are excited to build what comes next. You will work with a team that dreams big, moves fast, and cares deeply about the craft and about each other. Here, transparency and trust are core to how we operate, and every person has the opportunity to make a visible impact. If you want to grow, stretch, and do work that truly matters, Gong is the place to do the best work of your career.

As our strategic Escalation Manager, you will be the definitive owner and quarterback guiding our most critical, complex upmarket customer crises to resolution. We are scaling rapidly and need a driven, dedicated leader to own the lifecycle of high-stakes enterprise account escalations from the moment a risk state is triggered to its final resolution.

This is a highly visible, cross-functional role sitting directly at the intersection of our Go-To-Market (GTM) teams and our technical organizations (R&D, Product, and Support). Rather than acting as a passive intermediary, you will build a deep understanding of the Gong platform, translate complex roadblocks into actionable technical requirements, deploy the right resources, and masterfully manage both internal and external stakeholders. Crucially, you will analyze incident trends to build proactive triaging frameworks, optimize cross-team collaboration, and help us engineer a more resilient customer experience.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Orchestrate the Escalation Lifecycle: Serve as the single point of contact and ultimate owner for high-stakes enterprise account crises. Drive cross-functional alignment, define the internal point of view, & engineer resolution strategies alongside account teams.

• Bridge the GTM & Technical Divide: Act as the strategic liaison between GTM teams (who require relationship management and crisp communication) & technical organizations (Support, R&D, & Product teams who require concrete, reproducible data).
