About the Role
The AVP, SME Practice owns RingCentral's post-sales subject matter expertise function across UCaaS, CCaaS, and Agentic AI. This is not a traditional people-management executive role. It requires someone who has been a practitioner at a high level — who can credibly assess the technical caliber of SME candidates, hold a substantive conversation with a principal engineer or CTO, and design an engagement model that the best technical people will respect.
The AVP owns the strategy, structure, staffing, engagement economics, and performance of the SME practice globally — including both the Global SME tiers and the Manila-based Level 1/2/3 tiers. They are the primary owner of the product feedback loop and the executive sponsor of the practice's commercial evolution.
Engagement Model Note
All SME engagements are initiated through the TSM. The AVP owns the design and governance of that model — including intake standards, engagement scoping, SLA frameworks, and the commercial structure (embedded, consumable credit, or billable) as the practice matures.
What You've Done (Credential Bar)
