THE OPPORTUNITY

We are searching for a highly skilled Customer Success Engineer to play a key role in optimizing our customers' utilization and return on investment in Cyera. This is a senior, combined technical and account management role. You will own a portfolio of Commercial accounts end to end, pairing deep platform and data security expertise with the commercial judgment to grow adoption, retention, and expansion across that book of business.

We expect the strongest candidates to bring experience from strategic customer management,  Customer Success Engineering and Customer Success Management, Sales Engineering or Solutions Engineering, or Technical Account Management. In each of these paths, you will have carried a portfolio of accounts, served as the technical authority on a product, and been measured on the outcomes those customers achieved with it.

• Serving as the primary technical expert on the Cyera Platform, demonstrating in-depth knowledge and expertise.
• Establishing yourself as a trusted and strategic advisor to customers at all levels, from practitioners to executives.
• Driving customer adoption through effective onboarding, enablement, and training, and making self-paced learning resources part of each customer's ongoing education.
• Gaining a deep understanding of customers' requirements, challenges, and desired business outcomes, and then designing and delivering customized use cases that align with their goals using a consultative approach.
• Building and executing joint success plans that tie sustained platform adoption to measurable customer return on investment, and acting as the leader for ongoing engagement and expansion as customers pursue their business and technology objectives.
• Partnering with Sales and Renewals to protect and grow the portfolio by surfacing expansion opportunities, supporting renewal motions, and identifying risk early enough to act on it.
• Proactively identifying and resolving any obstacles or blockers that may impede customer success, collaborating with peers to address them promptly.
• Advocating for the customer's voice and feedback, actively influencing Cyera's roadmap and product development.
• Troubleshooting and resolving technical issues impacting customers, ensuring smooth operation and seamless experiences.
• Monitoring and reporting on the overall well-being of customers across your portfolio, tracking key health, adoption, and usage indicators.
