About Bland AI

At Bland, we’re building the most human AI phone agents in the world.

We’re a Series B startup backed by Emergence Capital, Y Combinator, and the founders of PayPal and Twilio, and we’ve raised $65M to reimagine the future of customer communication. Today, we’re a 60 person team powering voice automation for companies like Better.com, helping them deliver friendly, helpful, and human-like conversations at massive scale.

And now we’re hiring our next game-changing teammate: a Technical Account Manager (TAM) who lives at the intersection of customer success, and solutions.

Why this role exists

We need someone who will take control of post-sales, enforce clarity, and drive customers to value fast.
