Role Purpose

As a Technical Account Manager (TAM) within LRQA’s Cyber Client Success team, you are the client’s embedded security expert and primary technical advocate. Your purpose is to maximise client outcomes from LRQA Cyber services (e.g., SOC, SIEM/XDR/EDR, vulnerability and exposure management), ensuring our solutions align to the client’s strategy, are adopted effectively, and continuously improved to deliver measurable value (risk reduction, faster detection & response, and operational efficiency). You operate as an extension of the client’s security team, orchestrating the right Cyber capabilities at the right time and translating technical change into business impact.

•            Service maturity & resilience: Tuned detections, optimised data pipelines, reduced false positives, improved MTTA/MTTR, robust change governance.

•            CX & alignment: Quarterly service reviews that go beyond metrics to decisions and roadmaps; proactive risk and improvement recommendations that reflect the client’s context.

•            Trusted partnership: Seen by the client as a go to technical leader who anticipates issues, mobilises LRQA teams, and keeps the programme on track.

Key Responsibilities:

•            Provide high level SME knowledge, oversight, and guidance to help clients extract maximum value from LRQA technology products and services.

•            Identify continuous improvement opportunities for detections/content, log source coverage, and Security Automation & Orchestration use cases (playbooks/workflows).

•            Provide guidance, enablement, training, and demonstrations on LRQA technology products and services to accelerate adoption and maturity.

•            Provide additional technical oversight and support to the aligned Account Manager and Client Success Manager; maintain a joint success plan and roadmap.

•            Attend and support Service Reviews (monthly/quarterly), connecting KPIs/SLAs to actionable improvements and tracking closure.

•            Support the delivery of services throughout client onboarding in partnership with the Technical Project Team; ensure change hygiene and rollback plans are in place.

•            Collaborate across SOC Operations and Security Engineering, consistently providing the voice of the customer and driving cross functional alignment.

•            Co develop use cases, workflows, and SOC operating processes to enable successful service delivery and measurable risk reduction.

•            Act as the primary escalation point for technical issues within the customer’s deployed services and technologies; lead root cause and preventive actions.

•            Conduct client facing consumption and coverage reviews; publish insights (log source completeness, alert fidelity, false positive reduction, MTTA/MTTR).

•            Work collaboratively with Client Success Managers to ensure key account metrics (adoption, quality, stability, CX) are kept on track.

 Technical / Professional Qualifications / Requirements:

•            Strong, demonstrable & practical experience in configuration and deployment of security platforms (appropriate qualifications beneficial), including Microsoft Sentinel, LogRhythm SIEM, CrowdStrike NG SIEM/XDR, Tenable One (exposure/vulnerability management), EDR/EPP tooling and related SOC technologies

•            Excellent presentation, communication, and interpersonal skills; ability to negotiate and resolve conflicts while maintaining client trust.

•            A continuous improvement mindset, with the ability to connect technical metrics (e.g., false positive rate, MTTA/MTTR, coverage) to business outcomes and client value.
