  • Aid Customer Success Managers in aligning and managing customer and internal expectations
  • Protect and grow ARR via customer retention and satisfaction programs, and through product adoption and customer enablement
  • Build and maintain crossfunctional relationships to assist the account team in the growth, engagement, and risk mitigation of customers
  • Identify key risks and barriers to success, and own risk management and mitigation
  • Partner with Customer Success leadership locally, and globally, to build and refine processes, systems, and resources to make Mimecast's teams and customers successful

  • 23 years of people management in a SaaS company
  • Excellent cross functional collaboration skills; ability to build relationships, network, articulate problems and collaboratively problem solve

Why Mimecast?

We're fast thinking. We go big to reach our cyberattack-disrupting goals.

And we do what we need to protect the world of business from getting important (and potentially compromising) data stolen.

We never leave anyone behind. We deliver quickly - and outstandingly. We're big on honesty because it makes us better. We're empowered by our mission.

And if cybercriminals have a good day, we work twice as hard to make the rest of their days a nightmare.

That's The Mimecast Way.

And the Mimecast way is also a hybrid-working way.

We empower our people to balance their time between home and the office in a way that works best for them, their team, and our stakeholders.

Become a Mimecaster and put corporate data under your protection. Fill our teams with respect. And bring cybercrime-obstructing energy to your work. Be passionate. Be powerful. Be alive with purpose.

DEI Statement

Cybersecurity is a community effort.

That's why we're committed to building an inclusive, diverse community that celebrates and welcomes everyone - unless they're a cybercriminal, of course.


We're proud to be an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Employer, and we'd encourage you to join us whatever your background.

We particularly welcome applicants from traditionally underrepresented groups.
