Rockstar is recruiting on behalf of a venture-funded startup that is a market leader in intelligent incident management. This client offers a platform that unites the entire enterprise throughout the lifecycle of an incident, addressing incident response as a business challenge beyond just security. Their solution helps organizations prepare, respond, and recover smarter by providing a trusted source of intelligence and a comprehensive audit trail for cyber incidents.
The client is seeking an exceptional technical resource for a remote, critical early hire within their Revenue organization. The role, titled Technical Account Manager (TAM), supports all post-sales activities and reports directly to the VP of Customer Success.
The company is the first intelligent incident management platform that brings together the entire enterprise through the life of an incident. Incident Response (IR) is a business problem, not just a security problem. In fact, 70% of the cost of an incident comes from outside of Security.
The company serves as the backbone for modern incident management programs by dynamically guiding teams end-to-end through the life of an incident. It is the safe haven and trusted source of intelligence that teams rely on when the business deals with crisis situations. With this platform, CISOs, CLOs, CPOs, and their teams can “play the tape back” and hand over a complete audit trail to demonstrate their diligence and show that every cyber incident was handled responsibly. It’s a smarter way for organizations to prepare, respond, and recover.
The ideal candidate has the ability to learn and adapt quickly in a fast-paced, deadline, and detail-oriented environment. This position requires 5+ years in a Technical Account Manager, Solutions Architect, or similar customer-facing technical role within the SaaS industry supporting large 6-figure deals and Fortune 500 customers or a practitioner role performing incident response. Experience working with multiple cross-functional key stakeholders and personas is a must. The candidate must have a strong understanding of cybersecurity principles and incident response processes and exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
The candidate must demonstrate a high degree of aptitude, adaptability and a proactive mindset, a strong familiarity with tools such as CRM systems, ticketing platforms, and customer success software. This is an extraordinary opportunity to join a small team, make a huge impact, and get in on the ground floor of a venture-funded startup experiencing explosive 500% YoY growth.
