What You’ll Do
- Serve as the senior technical advisor to strategic customers, helping them maximize AlgoSec platform value and mature their network security operations across visibility, risk reduction, change automation, compliance, firewall policy management, operational workflows, and application connectivity.
- Build trusted relationships with customer technical teams, managers, and stakeholders by combining deep product expertise with practical, consultative guidance.
- Translate customer goals/challenges into adoption roadmaps with clear priorities, milestones, owners, risks, success measures, and maintain visibility into customer priorities, action items, adoption progress, and value realization.

- Guide customers toward scalable best practices by influencing decisions, challenging assumptions when needed, and advising on architecture, configurations, integrations, upgrades, performance, and operational readiness.
- Lead technical workshops, enablement sessions, health checks, planning discussions, and QBRs/EBRs to drive adoption and operational maturity.
- Build long-term customer capability through coaching, knowledge transfer, SOPs, runbooks, and documentation with the goal of reducing customer dependency over time.
- Support complex troubleshooting and escalations when needed while focusing on advisory, adoption, and long-term customer outcomes rather than day-to-day support.

- Strong consultative, documentation, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to drive alignment, prioritize effectively, and bring structure to ambiguous environments.
- Customer-first mindset with the confidence to challenge assumptions, provide strategic guidance, and lead customer conversations.
- Willingness to travel up to 20%, working mostly on-site with AlgoSec customers in the Americas.
Nice to Have

- Experience leading QBRs / EBRs or presenting technical value to senior customer stakeholders.
- Familiarity with cloud and hybrid enterprise environments, including AWS, Azure, GCP, Infrastructure as Code and automation tools (Terraform, Ansible, Chef, Puppet, CloudFormation), SIEM/SOAR, ITSM workflows, and vulnerability management platforms such as Qualys, Rapid7, and Tenable.
