Key Responsibilities
- Architect the Security Account Success Plan (ASP) and monthly credit burn plan in collaboration with customer executive sponsors, aligning with business objectives, the current threat landscape, prioritized workloads, and consumption targets.
- Design target-state security architectures tailored to the customer's environment, risk appetite, and compliance obligations, continuously tracking consumption against the plan and initiating corrective actions when variances exceed defined thresholds.
- Conduct thorough security gap analyses, technology fingerprinting, and architecture reviews to design reference architectures and deployment blueprints for various workloads, including XDR, identity, email, cloud security, and exposure management.
- Ensure rapid Time-to-Value (TTV) for customers and facilitate the delivery of significant initial security wins.
- Identify opportunities for account expansion, including credit top-ups, additional module adoption, and multi-year commitments, driven by demonstrated value realization and customer security maturity progression.
- Lead regular executive cadences, including monthly value reviews, Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs), and Executive Business Reviews (EBRs), linking telemetry, usage data, and risk scoring to measurable risk reduction, architecture maturity, and overall business impact.
- Perform security maturity and architecture assessments utilizing industry frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF, CIS Controls, and Zero Trust Architecture to evaluate current posture and define future-state improvements.
- Design and facilitate interactive security workshops, including threat hunting exercises, Capture The Flag (CTF) events, tabletop exercises, and in-depth architecture deep dives.
- Prepare compelling executive narratives, PR/FAQ-style briefs, and C-level presentations that articulate value realization, tying platform outcomes directly to reduced business risk and Return on Investment (ROI).
- Proactively manage renewal health by maintaining a Green/Amber/Red status with defined actions, owners, and timelines anchored to key architecture milestones, and develop comprehensive "Get-well" plans that include architecture remediation paths.
- Leverage telemetry-driven risk intelligence and predictive health scoring models to anticipate and address potential customer challenges.
- Cultivate successful customer relationships into valuable references, case studies, and technical whitepapers that highlight architectural transformation and achieved security outcomes.
- Serve as the primary post-sales security authority and coordination point, ensuring a unified approach across Customer Success, Support, Professional Services, and partners with a "one plan, one intake" philosophy.
- Provide Product, Engineering, and Leadership teams with architecture-grounded insights into adoption challenges, integration gaps, and valuable input for product roadmap development.
