A day in the life…
Technical Account Managers at WatchGuard company have a slightly different day-to-day than a traditional TAM because of the nature of cybersecurity and the high-stakes environment that MDR services operate in. MDR providers focus on proactive threat hunting, monitoring, detecting, and responding to security incidents for their clients. As a TAM at WatchGuard, you will be responsible for meeting with partners/customers to review their security posture, so days often are focused on reviewing security alerts and incidents, emerging threats, and any support tickets filed in order to prepare for these meetings. You are also expected to be an escalation point for customer communication issues that the SOC or Support teams may have. Finally, you will spend time documenting what you have learned in order to share that information with teammates and partners/customers.
Skills and Qualifications
You are a customer-focused, data-driven, and process-oriented professional with Windows systems administration experience
Bring a track record of success within a technical customer-facing role
You work well in a fast-paced environment and face unique obstacles with positivity and integrity
You are committed to both professional development and business growth in a rapidly expanding market
Have the ability to deal with ambiguity, communicate well with partner teams, and a compassionate understanding of the customer experience
You speak Spanish and English. Knowledge of German would be a plus.
Experience
5+ years of technical account management experience or 2.5 years in a cybersecurity technical customer-facing role
