About Bazaarvoice

At Bazaarvoice, we create smart shopping experiences. Through our expansive global network, product-passionate community & enterprise technology, we connect thousands of brands and retailers with billions of consumers. Our solutions enable brands to connect with consumers and collect valuable user-generated content, at an unprecedented scale. This content achieves global reach by leveraging our extensive and ever-expanding retail, social & search syndication network. And we make it easy for brands & retailers to gain valuable business insights from real-time consumer feedback with intuitive tools and dashboards. The result is smarter shopping: loyal customers, increased sales, and improved products.

The problem we are trying to solve : Brands and retailers struggle to make real connections with consumers. It's a challenge to deliver trustworthy and inspiring content in the moments that matter most during the discovery and purchase cycle. The result? Time and money spent on content that doesn't attract new consumers, convert them, or earn their long-term loyalty.

Our brand promise : closing the gap between brands and consumers.

Founded in 2005, Bazaarvoice is headquartered in Austin, Texas with offices in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.

It’s official: Bazaarvoice is a Great Place to Work in the US , Australia and the UK!

If you do not see a job Engagement Manager team available or that fits you can still upload your details here through this posting.

The Engagement Manager (EM) role is organisationally part of Global Services, but works closely with the Sales and Client Success teams to win new business, scope services engagements and manage delivery across multiple projects. EMs create action plans for each engagement to maximise the value received from the Bazaarvoice Solution Set (Services + Product) in the minimum amount of time from purchase.

EMs are the main point of contact for the Customer from the time a statement of work (SOW) is executed and throughout the life of the services engagement. EMs are responsible for shepherding projects through the various Services functions and practices and the coordination of the delivery effort of resources from various practice teams of Consultant and Product experts.
