• 2+ years of experience in a customer-facing role within a SaaS environment, such as Customer Success, Account Management, Solutions Consulting, or Post-Sales Implementation
• Demonstrated experience guiding customers through cybersecurity audits, including audit readiness, evidence collection, observation periods, and auditor interactions
• Hands-on knowledge of security and compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, HIPAA, GDPR, CMMC, etc.
• Familiarity with the cybersecurity audit process, either through direct audit participation, consulting, or in-house compliance ownership
• Ability to translate complex compliance requirements into clear, actionable guidance for customers
• Strong customer-facing communication skills and comfort engaging with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Experience managing multiple customer implementations or projects simultaneously
• Problem-solving mindset and ability to operate in a fast-paced, evolving environment
• Familiarity with SaaS security concepts (cloud infrastructure, access controls, logging, vulnerability management, etc.) preferred
