Client Manager - Gta Enterprise

As a Client Manager (CM) you'll be responsible for selling Optiv security services and security technology solutions to a select few strategic accounts within the Greater Toronto Area. You'll also be responsible for owning and coordinating all aspects of the sales cycle within your assigned accounts, and leading a cross-functional team to build and execute a multi-year strategic account management plan for your top accounts. Members of this cross-functional team will typically include a pre-sales architect, administrative support and services practices personnel as appropriate for your accounts.

Development of a multi-year strategic account management plan for your top accounts is a core responsibility for the CM. You'll identify and understand your client's core security concerns and how they correlate to Optiv solutions that mitigate these cybersecurity risks. Based upon this understanding of the client, you'll bring together appropriate Optiv technical, services and leadership personnel to collaborate with your top account client leadership to refine and/or build a security strategy, and subsequently develop and propose solutions to address client security needs. In many cases this will take the form of security technology and services solutions, and as appropriate for the client, large and complex solutions comprised of security management consulting, hardware and software security technologies, advisory, implementation and support services, and managed security services. An overarching goal is to establish a trusted relationship with the client that results in Optiv being their primary security solution partner and provider.

You'll also engage clients with a heightened focus on ever-enhancing client satisfaction. This will include meeting with your top clients early in the year to understand and document their business, technology and security goals, as well as client expectations of Optiv in support of attaining those goals. You'll review these goals, expectations and progress with your top clients quarterly, engaging Optiv leadership and resources as necessary to ensure you and Optiv are on track to achieve or exceed these client-defined goals.
