What you bring to the role:
- 5+ years in enterprise SaaS, across technical account management, program management, or customer success in a client-embedded or dedicated account capacity.
- Demonstrated ability to operate independently at a client site within a large, decentralized, matrixed enterprise organization; experience navigating dual-organization reporting dynamics is a strong plus.
- Self-motivated and action-oriented, with the independence to operate effectively without daily on-site AlertMedia team presence.
- Excellent project management skills with proven ability to prioritize competing tasks and stakeholders across two organizations.
- Comfort with technical platform administration depth (user/permission management, integrations, data validation) rather than pure relationship management.
- Skilled at applying AI and emerging technologies to synthesize information, improve decision-making, enhance communication, and drive customer outcomes while maintaining strong judgment and empathy.
- Experience supporting a security, emergency management, or crisis communications function is a strong plus.
- Ability to pass the required background check and clearance processes across Walmart and AlertMedia.
