A track record of converting individual customer problems into scalable improvements, such as product changes, automation, standards, or enablement.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain complex technical issues clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Experience working with enterprise customers in complex, hybrid-cloud, multi-cloud, regulated, or highly integrated environments.

Work with a technically strong team focused on delivering measurable value to customers.
Help shape how a growing cloud security company operates at enterprise scale.
