Job Summary

Own and optimize expansion motions across existing accounts by building repeatable upsell programs with cross-functional partners, and measure impact on expansion pipeline and net revenue retention through data-driven experiments.

  • Own the expansion metrics and track impact on pipeline and revenue
  • Run data-driven experiments to refine messaging and sales plays in collaboration with field marketing and sales leadership

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Build and run expansion campaigns targeting existing accounts — email, in-product messaging, events, ABM plays
  • Partner with Customer Success and Sales to identify upsell triggers (usage patterns, containment wins, renewal timing, new attack surface exposure) and turn them into repeatable programs
  • Work with sales leaders and field marketing teams to design and execute upsell sales plays — arming reps with the right timing, messaging, and offers to expand accounts
  • Partner with Product Marketing to package and position new modules (cloud, endpoint, container segmentation) for the installed base
  • Own the metrics: expansion pipeline, upsell conversion rate, net revenue retention contribution
  • Test messaging and offers relentlessly — this is a role for someone who likes running experiments, not just executing a plan

Requirements

  • 4+ years in growth, lifecycle, or expansion/customer marketing — SaaS or cybersecurity experience strongly preferred
  • Working knowledge of breach containment and segmentation concepts (Zero Trust, ransomware containment, lateral movement, attack surface) — fluent enough to translate technical value into a business case
  • Comfortable with data: you can pull your own reports, read a funnel, and know what’s a trend versus a pattern that we need to build on
  • Experience running sales plays in partnership with field marketing and sales leadership
  • Bias toward action based on data, rather than vanity metrics
