• Proactively monitor customer health metrics to identify risks, mitigate challenges, and implement advanced adoption strategies aligned with customer goals.
• Use advanced technical knowledge of Tenable’s product suite to design and implement tailored adoption strategies, ensuring alignment with the objectives of high-value or complex accounts.
• Advocate for customers internally by capturing and communicating feedback to influence product roadmaps, service enhancements, and business priorities.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Marketing, Sales, Professional Services, Engineering, Finance, Training, and Support, to align efforts and deliver impactful customer outcomes.
• Mentor Associate and Customer Success Managers, providing guidance on best practices, professional growth, and adoption strategies.
• Contribute to refining customer success frameworks, tools, and processes by providing feedback and actionable insights from the field.

What You'll Need:

• Based in the Greater Brisbane Area, Queensland, Australia, and able to visit customer sites regularly.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience, with 8+ years in customer-facing roles, including 5+ years in account management, sales, or similar positions focused on customer retention, growth, and engagement.
• Proven expertise in managing high-value SaaS or subscription-based accounts, driving adoption and delivering measurable outcomes.
• Strong relationship management skills, with the ability to engage senior stakeholders and align solutions to business objectives.
• Demonstrated success in meeting or exceeding renewal and expansion targets while maintaining high customer satisfaction.
• Deep understanding of Customer Success best practices, including metrics-driven approaches to customer health and adoption.
• Exceptional communication (written and verbal), problem-solving, and time-management skills.
• Proficiency in tools such as Salesforce.com and Google Workspace, with the ability to learn new technologies quickly.
• Ability to manage multiple accounts and priorities in a fast-paced, revenue-focused environment.
