Own the technical relationship with cybersecurity customers, providing trusted advisory support across Microsoft Sentinel and Defender XDR environments. Interpret security maturity scores, create 12-month technical roadmaps, deliver QBRs, troubleshoot issues, guide remediation, and drive continuous improvements in detection, tuning, automation, cost optimization, and defensive coverage. Develop technical deliverables such as playbooks, analytics, workbooks, dashboards, and reports while engaging senior stakeholders including CISOs and security leadership.
The TAM is the customer's technical owner for the service and the expert voice in the relationship. They quantify the customer's security maturity through the TAM Score framework, build and steer a defensible 12-month technical roadmap, and provide the depth of Microsoft Azure Sentinel/Defender XDR expertise needed to advise credibly on priorities.
TAMs translate data into narrative - interpreting scores, surfacing the highest-leverage gaps, and guiding customers toward measurable improvement quarter by quarter. They act as a technical buffer between customers and internal operational teams by resolving technical queries, advising on improvements, and ensuring issues are properly packaged when escalation is required.

Key Responsibilities

- Own technical deliverables: automation/playbooks where in scope, custom analytics and workbooks.
- Drive the operational health-check catalogue as scheduled workstreams within the roadmap.
- Advise on Defensive Breadth gaps (pentest cadence, IR retainer, EASM, DLP, tabletops, etc) - surfacing risk credibly and identifying where NCC services can close the gap.
- Maintain and refresh the threat overview as the customer's environment and threat landscape evolve.
