Job Summary
Becoming a trusted advisor and an advocate for our clients is essential to our success, and a history of successful growth focused on existing client expansion which will accelerate your integration into the Spot culture! Spot, which was acquired by NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP) in 2020, continues to run as a standalone startup under the NetApp umbrella, and enjoys the best of both worlds - innovation and agility of a startup, coupled with stability and reach of a strategic leader and publicly traded company.
The Spot portfolio continues to grow, with the latest acquisition of CloudCheckr in October of 2021 further solidifying our commitment to driving our clients towards automation, cost optimization, security, and compliance, while allowing clients to focus on what they do best. This is an incredible time to become a part of an amazing industry, with no limits to how far we can go. Our firm offers an amazing benefits package, industry competitive pay, and internal flexibility for growth and autonomy.
We are making application-driven infrastructure a reality-cloud infrastructures that learn and automatically adapt to application needs. The result: improved performance, increased agility, and up to 90% reductions in cloud infrastructure costs, whether you run on Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, or AWS.
As a quota carrying Account Manager, you will be partnering with a Cloud Solution Engineer (CSE) who serves as the main technical point-of-contact for our strategic clients, communicating our mission to drive product adoption, value realization, and to increase client's loyalty. This is achieved through concentrated hands-on work with the client on their infrastructure stack and architecture, workload migrations, building workflow plans, quarterly reviews, and being a point of escalation for unique technical inquiries.
Job Requirements
Responsibilities:• Increase Spot product adoption by working hands-on with your dedicated Cloud Solution Engineer to assist the client in migrating workloads to run via the Spot platform and increase client savings, while maximizing efficiencies. You will have a good knowledge of infrastructure, cloud, and related technical challenges and best practices. You will be working with the hierarchical stack from DevOps to the C-level, as well as other senior decision makers and influencers on optimizing their infrastructure footprint. You will work alongside the client as an advocate, to promote our client's interests such as feature requests, optimization techniques, and architecture reviews. • Ongoing proactive management of the client's lifecycle, from onboarding through extensive growth and renewal. You will be a strategic partner and trusted advisor to our clients and will develop and maintain relationships.• Identify new growth opportunities (upsells/cross sell) and build a plan alongside the client. Arrange demos for new products and features while sharing product roadmaps when applicable. You and the aligned Customer Success Engineer will hold Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) with C-level executives and other decision makers, to ensure Spot has a seat at the table for important planning and strategic decisions.
Job Requirements• Minimum 5-7 years' experience working in external client-facing roles (e.g., Customer Success, Sales, Tech-Support, Pre-sales, Engineering, and/or Consulting). • Experience working with cloud-compute platforms (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS).• Experience working at a fast-paced global software company, Hyperscaler, or solution provider. • Outstanding communication and customer relationship skills, with a proven track record of working directly with clients and driving change while learning and promoting new technologies. • Familiarity with container orchestration platforms (such as Kubernetes, Red Hat OpenShift, Docker/Mirantis, Google Kubernetes Engine, & Amazon ECS/EKS).
Education• Degree or equivalent and relevant work-related experience• Advanced degrees (MBA, M.S.) and/or Hyperscaler certifications a plus (AWS, Azure, GCP)
