Technical Account Manager

Key Responsibilities

• Own the technical relationship: understand the customer environment end-to-end, maintain technical context, and operate as the trusted advisor in the partnership.
• Own the TAM Score narrative: interpret Environment, SOC, and Health scores into a credible story about where the customer stands and where to focus next - accountable for the quality of the diagnosis and recommendations, not the absolute score.
• Build and maintain the 12-month technical roadmap: anchored to the TAM Score, with defined quarterly focus areas tied to the highest-leverage gaps.
• Deliver the TAM/technical portion of Quarterly Business Reviews: present the score, narrate progress, and align with customer stakeholders up to CISO/senior IT leadership.
• Deliver reactive technical support via tickets (troubleshooting, investigation support, remediation guidance).
• Deliver proactive technical expertise and drive continuous improvement (Tier A included): posture and coverage advisory, tuning/noise reduction, cost/retention optimisation, automation uplift.
• Own technical deliverables: automation/playbooks where in scope, custom analytics and workbooks.
• Drive the operational health-check catalogue as scheduled workstreams within the roadmap.
• Advise on Defensive Breadth gaps (pentest cadence, IR retainer, EASM, DLP, tabletops, etc) - surfacing risk credibly and identifying where NCC services can close the gap.
• Maintain and refresh the threat overview as the customer's environment and threat landscape evolve.
