Engagement Manager (San Francisco)
$170k - $190k USD
About Us:
At LangChain, our mission is to make intelligent agents ubiquitous. We build the foundation for agent engineering in the real world, helping developers move from prototypes to production-ready AI agents that teams can rely on. We began as widely adopted open-source tools and have grown to also offer a platform for building, evaluating, deploying, and operating agents at scale.
Today, LangChain, LangGraph, LangSmith, and Agent Builder are used by teams shipping real AI products across startups and large enterprises. Millions of developers trust LangChain to power AI teams at companies like Replit, Clay, Coinbase, Workday, Lyft, Cloudflare, Harvey, Rippling, Vanta, and 35% of the Fortune 500.
With $125M raised at Series B from IVP, Sequoia, Benchmark, CapitalG, and Sapphire Ventures, we're at a stage where we're continuing to develop new products, growth is accelerating, and all team members have meaningful impact on what we build and how we work together. LangChain is a place where your contributions can shape how this technology shows up in the real world.
About the Team:
The Professional Services team is the bridge between LangChain's technology and the enterprise customers building on top of it. We partner with some of the world's most ambitious companies to help them move from pilot to production — designing solutions, accelerating time-to-value, and ensuring teams get the most out of LangChain, LangGraph, and LangSmith. We work at the intersection of deep technical expertise and customer partnership, and we take pride in the outcomes our customers achieve. As LangChain grows, PS plays a direct role in shaping how enterprise AI gets built in the real world.
About the Role:
We're looking for an Engagement Manager to join our Professional Services team.

Candidates who live outside commuting distance (e.g. >1hr each way) may be eligible for hybrid arrangements depending on location and role requirements. Open to remote candidates within the US.
What You'll Do:
Engagement Lifecycle Management: Manage the full engagement lifecycle from SOW review through closeout, including planning, execution, risk management, scope management, and handoff
Customer Communication & Relationship Management: Serve as the primary point of contact for customers — deliver status updates, manage expectations, handle escalations, and negotiate scope changes
Multi-Engagement Management: Manage 5–8 concurrent technical engagements simultaneously while maintaining quality and meeting deadlines
Cross-Functional Coordination: Coordinate with Solution Architects, AI Engineers, Sales, Support, Enablement, and Product/Engineering teams; manage resource allocation and capacity planning
Risk & Issue Management: Proactively identify risks and issues, develop mitigation strategies, track resolution, and ensure deliverables meet quality standards

You've managed multiple concurrent engagements and know how to keep quality high across all of them
You have strong experience working with enterprise customers and leading customer-facing communication
You've coordinated cross-functional technical teams — engineers, architects, product — and managed resource allocation
You're experienced with project management tools such as Linear, Jira, Asana, or similar
You've handled scope change management and complex stakeholder dynamics
You have start-up DNA: you thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and don't wait to be told what to do
You're a natural communicator — clear, direct, and effective with both technical teams and executive stakeholders
You exemplify our operating principles
You are motivated to build something great: you hold a high bar for quality, craft, and impact
You embrace hot takes: you share informed opinions, challenge the status quo, and engage in constructive debate
You operate with maximum agency: you take ownership, move work forward independently, and help others unblock
You run to the roar: you lean into hard problems, ambiguity, and fast-moving challenges
Nice to Have:
PMP or similar project management certification
Experience in Professional Services or consulting
Experience with AI/ML or infrastructure engagements
Experience with time tracking and billing coordination
