• Gather customer feedback, identify process improvements, and contribute insights to implementation procedures and product development.

The skills and qualities you'll bring include:

• Bring 2+ years of experience in a customer-facing technical role, such as implementation, sales engineering, product support, or technical account management.
• Demonstrate working knowledge of cybersecurity technologies (e.g., SIEM, ASM, Vulnerability Management, or SOAR) and SaaS solutions.
• Apply project management principles to establish ownership, set clear timelines, and hold internal and external stakeholders accountable for driving outcomes.
• Possess hands-on experience with basic software configuration, system environments, and standard report or dashboard creation.
• Hold a foundational understanding of network technologies and protocols, including DHCP, TCP/IP, DNS, and HTTP.
• Maintain familiarity with Microsoft Windows Server, Linux, and/or macOS operating systems.
• Communicate technical details clearly and effectively to non-technical users, fostering commitment and understanding across diverse audiences.
