Technical Area Manager (TAM)
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 24, 2026. First seen by Alion on Jun 2, 2026.
OXE Marine Inc. is seeking an experienced and driven Technical Area Manager (TAM) to support our growing customer base across the United States. This is a field-facing, hands-on role for a genuine marine enthusiast who is equally comfortable diagnosing a diesel outboard at a marina and presenting technical findings in a corporate setting. This position reports to Head of US operations and Global Technical Service Manager.
As TAM, you will be the primary technical point of contact for dealers, distributors, and end customers across your region. You will work closely with the Aftermarket team - and at times collaborate with Engineering and Sales - making this a varied and dynamic position where no two days are the same.
This role requires regular domestic travel and occasional international travel to support installations, service calls, and dealer development. A successful candidate will have the attitude of getting the job done all the way, with responsibility to the end and ensuring a positive customer service experience for end users.
