Company Overview

At Proofpoint, we have a passion for protecting people, data, and brands from today’s advanced threats and compliance risks. We hire the best people in the business to:

• Build and enhance our proven security platform

• Provide strategic program design solutions that allow clients to identify, protect, monitor, and manage their most protected data, and people.
• Work with the broader Professional Services, Support, Engineering, and Product teams to address customer concerns and manage escalations.
• Work closely with your corresponding sales organization to ensure customer needs are met and customer satisfaction continues to rank high.
• Present updates to management identifying risks, challenges, and proposed solutions.

What you bring to the team

• 4+ years industry experience in a customer-facing role
• 4+ years of experience in IT consulting or related fields.
• Familiarity with Data Security: Data Security Posture Management, Insider Threat Management, Endpoint Security, and/or Cloud Security concepts.
• Proficiency in Windows Server environment; experience with web infrastructure components like IIS and MS SQL is advantageous.
• Basic understanding of Linux infrastructure.
• Exposure to Microsoft or Symantec DLP solutions is desirable.
• Clear and effective communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Demonstrated organizational abilities with a keen eye for detail.
• Commitment to delivering exceptional client service, with the confidence to engage in-person and virtually.
• Proven ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously and follow through to completion.
