• Design and deliver visually compelling business value reports and technical roadmaps for both engineering teams and executive leadership

• Drive stakeholder alignment across customer organisations, translating technical requirements into business outcomes

• Serve as the customer's internal advocate, working cross-functionally with Spacelift Product, Engineering, and Support to resolve escalations and influence the roadmap

• Recognised certifications or demonstrated expertise in major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and developer platforms such as GitHub or GitLab

• Experience supporting high-ARR enterprise accounts in regulated or complex industries, particularly banking and financial services, healthcare, or large-scale technology companies

• Track record of presenting technical architecture and business value content to both engineering practitioners and C-suite decision-makers

• Strong ability to understand and document business requirements, navigate stakeholder dynamics, and build consensus across large organisations

• Comfortable operating in a fast-moving startup environment where processes are still being built

Nice to Have

• Experience with policy-as-code frameworks (OPA, Sentinel) or configuration management at scale

• Background in platform engineering, SRE, or DevSecOps

• Prior experience in a TAM or Customer Success Architect role at a high-growth B2B SaaS company

What Success Looks Like

• Customers in your book achieve their defined adoption milestones on schedule

• Churn risk is identified and escalated early, with documented mitigation plans in place

• Stakeholders at all levels trust you as a knowledgeable, reliable partner

• Your accounts show measurable ROI from their Spacelift investment within 9 months

• You contribute customer insights that directly influence Spacelift's product direction
