Strategic Federal Account Executive Jobs

Lead, Center of Excellence The team + the role The Pendo Center of Excellence (CoE) sets the standard for how Pendo uses Pendo. We bring together in-app and email engagement, Product Operations, and growth strategy to ensure every team maximizes the value of the platform — and every customer receives a consistent, contextual, and high-quality experience.
