CSM acts as the customer's security advisor and post-sales orchestrator, coordinating across Sales, CSTA, CSA, CSE, Support, Professional Services, and Partners. The role is accountable for turning purchased credits into measurable security outcomes through a clear Security Account Success Plan (ASP), defined burn curve, and consistent executive engagement cadence.

• Ensure rapid Time-to-First-Credit or Value (TTFC/V) and delivery of a meaningful first security win

• Conduct maturity model discussions using recognized industry security frameworks (MITRE, NIST) to assess current posture and define future-state uplift
• Orchestrate security workshops (e.g., threat hunting, CTFs, tabletop exercises) in collaboration with technical & security teams
• Prepare concise executive-ready narratives, PR/FAQ-style briefs, and C-level decks

• Maintain renewal health (Green / Amber / Red) with clear actions, owners, and timelines
• Proactively run risk mitigation and build Get-well Plans for at-risk accounts
• Contribute to and leverage telemetry-driven risk intelligence and predictive health scoring models
• Convert successful customers into references, case studies, technical whitepapers

• Ability to translate telemetry and usage data (credits, burn vs. plan, risk and health scores) into clear, actionable insights
• Proven capability in building and managing Success Plans, burn curves, and adoption roadmaps
• Working knowledge of enterprise security domains (SOC operations, SIEM/XDR, exposure and risk management, identity, cloud, email security) sufficient to be credible with security leaders
• Hands-on experience with CS and GTM tooling (e.g., Gainsight, Planhat, Salesforce/Dynamics, analytics or BI dashboards)
• Strong written communication skills (executive briefs, QBR decks, 6-pagers, decision memos)

Soft Skills

• Executive presence and confidence engaging with CISOs, security leadership, IT, and business sponsors
• Consultative, outcome-driven mindset - focuses on 'why' before 'what'
• High ownership and bias for action; comfortable prioritizing where human effort delivers the most value
• Structured communicator who simplifies complex issues into clear options and recommendations
