Senior Staff Technical Success Executive

As a Senior Staff Technical Success Executives you will rapidly understand and lead through complex, multi-threaded customer situations—including platform outages, product limitations, deployment challenges, architectural decisions, security operations issues, competitive evaluations, and executive escalations. While you won't be expected to personally resolve every technical issue, you must possess the technical credibility to diagnose complex problems, challenge assumptions, guide solution strategy, and confidently lead conversations with customer security executives, architects, and SentinelOne Product and Engineering leaders.

Technical Success Executives are SentinelOne's executive intervention capability for our most strategically significant customer situations. Operating alongside the Early Warning System (EWS), Critical Accounts Program (CAP), and Crisis Management, they are responsible for helping our largest customers realize the full value of their SentinelOne investment while leading complex customer recoveries through successful resolution. This role combines executive relationship management, expert cybersecurity technical acumen, cross-functional leadership, and commercial strategy.

Unlike traditional Customer Success or Technical Account Management roles, Technical Success Executives are deployed only when executive intervention is required. You will become SentinelOne's primary executive partner for the customer and the executive owner inside SentinelOne, working directly with customer executives while aligning internal teams around a single strategy to maximize customer value and drive successful long-term outcomes. If you thrive in ambiguity, build trust quickly, influence without authority, and enjoy solving the most complex technical and business challenges in enterprise cybersecurity, we'd love to hear from you.
