Technical Account Managers

Technical Account Managers exist to help customers sustain and expand the technical value of their Illumio investment. We serve as strategic technical advisors to our customers, ensuring that Illumio’s segmentation platform is fully adopted, optimized, and operationalized to deliver sustained, measurable business value. Through proactive engagement, deep technical expertise, and continuous alignment to customer priorities and operating models, we drive measurable outcomes by accelerating adoption, advancing platform maturity, and enabling customers to realize the full operational value of their investment—reducing risk and operating with confidence at scale.

Technical Account Managers work in close partnership with Customer Success Advisors, Professional Services, Support, Sales, and Engineering to deliver a seamless customer experience. By identifying risks early, guiding technical decision-making, and advancing platform maturity, TAMs ensure customers not only achieve their initial objectives but are positioned to advance technical maturity, optimize adoption, and maximize the operational value of the platform.

Joining the Technical Account Manager team means becoming part of a highly collaborative organization focused on technical excellence, customer advocacy, and outcome-driven engagement. If you’re passionate about solving complex technical challenges, providing strategic technical guidance, and helping customers maximize the impact of their cybersecurity investments, you’ll have the opportunity to make a meaningful and lasting impact.
