About The Position

Founded in 2001 and headquartered in Waterloo, Canada, eSentire is the authority in Managed Detection and Response, protecting 2,000+ organizations and $6 trillion in corporate assets across 80+ countries. At the core of our operations is the Atlas AI Security Operations Platform - a multi-agent, Agentic AI system built on 25 years of security expertise that replicates Tier-3 analyst judgment at machine speed. Atlas AI achieves a 99% true positive rate, compresses 5 hours of investigation into under 7 minutes, and contains 99.3% of threats before they spread. Our Threat Response Unit (TRU) identifies 35% of threats before they appear on commercial feeds. We don't just send alerts — we own the R in MDR. Recognized as a G2 2026 Overall MDR Leader and Forrester Wave™ Leader, eSentire delivers Assured Intelligence: transparent, expert-validated, explainable security outcomes you can defend. This is not AI hype. This is Assured Intelligence — AI that shows its work, experts who validate every decision, and outcomes you can defend. We are a G2 2026 Overall MDR Leader, a Forrester Wave™ Leader, and one of the fastest-growing cybersecurity companies in the world. And we're just getting started. This Is Not a Typical Account Management Role: Cybercrime has industrialized. Attackers move from credential theft to ransomware deployment in hours. AI-powered threats are outpacing traditional defenses. And the organizations trusting eSentire to protect them need more than a relationship manager — they need a technically elite partner who can translate the chaos of the threat landscape into clear, confident, outcome-driven guidance. That's where you come in. As a Technical Account Manager at eSentire, you are the technical authority and outcome delivery lead for a portfolio of customers — the person they call when things get real. You bring deep cybersecurity expertise, a genuine passion for helping organizations build true resilience, and the presence to command a room full of CISOs and security engineers alike. You are energized by complexity, driven by outcomes, and excited to work at the intersection of cutting-edge AI-powered security and high-stakes enterprise relationships. If you want a role where your technical depth actually matters, where your customers' security outcomes are your scorecard, and where you're backed by the industry's most advanced MDR platform — read on. Our TAMs serve as the primary technical relationship owner. You work in close partnership with a dedicated Account Manager who owns the commercial relationship — your lane is technical delivery and outcome assurance. You ensure every customer in your portfolio realizes the full security value they contracted eSentire to deliver — measurably, consistently, and on their terms. You will lead every technical cadence: onboarding, platform optimization, security reviews, QSRs, incident response, and ongoing enablement. You will translate Atlas AI's capabilities, TRU threat intelligence, and SOC investigation findings into clear, prioritized guidance that directly advances each customer's security posture. And you will do it with the technical depth to handle customer interactions independently, without escalation. Your mission: make every customer measurably more secure, more resilient, and more confident in their investment in eSentire — every single day.
