  • Launch and manage our Critical Account List, tracking escalations in JIRA and reporting weekly status to senior leadership (e.g., VP of Support, CEO, CTO).
  • Triage and prioritize open support cases tied to escalated accounts, ensuring timely closure and alignment with SLAs.
  • Conduct post-mortems and assist in Root Cause Analysis (RCA) documentation and follow-ups.
  • Create and optimize escalation workflows, standard operating procedures, and cross-functional communication templates.
  • Drive continuous improvement by identifying systemic issues and working with stakeholders to reduce escalation triggers.
  • Mentor future escalation hires as the team grows and help define a clear career path within the escalation function.

What We Expect

  • 3+ years of escalation management experience in a global enterprise environment
  • 8+ years of technical support experience with increasing scope, including direct work with Engineering and Product teams
  • Strong technical background, ideally including:
    • Networking (TCP/IP, Application Layer)
    • Linux systems administration
    • SaaS infrastructure (Docker, Kubernetes, Cloud services)
  • Cross-functional leadership experience - comfort working with VP+ stakeholders across departments
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills in English
  • Experience working with tools such as JIRA, Salesforce, Slack, Confluence, etc.
  • Cybersecurity industry experience preferred, especially in network or endpoint security

Bonus Qualities

  • Experience working in a fast-paced growth environment
  • Familiarity with Critical Accounts tracking frameworks or incident command systems
  • Project management certification or experience (ITIL, PMP, Lean/Six Sigma a plus)

Why Join Now?

This is a unique opportunity to be part of a founding team, reporting directly into senior leadership, and influencing the way Armis handles escalations across its most strategic accounts.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
