• Create and execute mutual success plans that define customer objectives, use cases, milestones, adoption targets, risks, and measurable outcomes.
• Lead the post-sale lifecycle, including transition from sales, onboarding, adoption, program maturity, executive business reviews, renewal readiness, and expansion planning.
• Build a strong understanding of each customer's security program, attack surface, testing cadence, remediation workflows, risk priorities, and reporting requirements.
• Drive adoption of the NetSPI Platform and relevant services by connecting capabilities to customer workflows and helping customers operationalize results.
• Translate technical findings and program activity into clear business value, risk-reduction narratives, trends, and executive-ready recommendations.
• Partner with Account Executives on customer health and renewal strategy for your portfolio; identify risk early, document recovery plans, and coordinate cross-functional action to protect retention.
• Identify qualified growth opportunities based on customer goals and value gaps, partnering with Account Executives and solution experts on expansion strategy.
• Orchestrate Customer Support, Delivery, Product, Engineering, Sales, and other internal teams to resolve issues, maintain engagement quality, and deliver a cohesive customer experience.

• Working knowledge of offensive security and vulnerability management concepts, such as penetration testing, attack surfaces, remediation, risk prioritization, and common security-program workflows.
• Ability to understand technical context and explain complex security concepts, program performance, and business value to audiences ranging from practitioners to executives.
• Experience building success plans, leading executive business reviews, managing escalations, and coordinating cross-functional account teams.
• Strong executive presence, consultative discovery skills, commercial judgment, and written and verbal communication.
• Analytical discipline: comfort using customer health, product usage, service delivery, support, and commercial data to identify trends and guide action.
• Ability to prioritize a portfolio, operate independently in a fast-moving environment, and create clarity amid ambiguity.
• Willingness to travel up to20-30%

Preferred Qualifications
