Full job description
ABOUT BREACHLOCK
BreachLock is a fast-growing cybersecurity company delivering AI-powered penetration testing and adversarial
security validation at scale. Our three product lines — PTaaS (Penetration Testing as a Service), ASM (Attack
Surface Management), and AEV (Adversarial Exploit Validation) — serve enterprise customers across the US,
Europe, and India, with combined revenue approaching $20M. We are building the next generation of offensive
security technology powered by agentic AI and are looking for senior leaders to help us scale.
THE OPPORTUNITY
This is a foundational leadership role. BreachLock is at an inflection point — strong revenue, a fast-growing
enterprise US customer base, and three distinct products that each demand a different support and success
motion. We need a Director who can build the Customer Success and Support organisation from scratch, establish
the processes, hire and develop the team, and ensure our customers — especially those in the US timezone —
feel they have a world-class partner in BreachLock.
You will report directly to the CTO and own the full post-sale customer experience across all three products. This is
not an inherited role — you will design and build it.
WHAT YOU WILL OWN
Customer Success
• Own the post-sale customer journey from onboarding through renewal for PTaaS, ASM, and AEV
• Build and run a regular cadence of check-ins and QBRs with key enterprise accounts — primarily US-based
• Identify expansion opportunities and renewal risks early — feeding signals to sales and CTO
• Design onboarding playbooks for each product that reduce time-to-value for new customers
• Be the customer's champion internally — representing their voice in product decisions
Support Operations
• Design and implement the L1 support model across all three products
• Define SLA tiers (P1–P4) for each product and ensure the team delivers against them
• Own Freshdesk configuration, ticket routing, escalation workflows, and reporting
• Manage the shift model to ensure meaningful US timezone coverage from India
• Build and lead a team of L1 support engineers — hiring, training, performance management
• Govern the escalation process to engineering teams (PTaaS, AEV, SRE)
Product Feedback Loop
• Run a weekly digest of top customer pain points and feature requests to the PM team
• Ensure AEV false positive feedback reaches the AI/ML engineering team in structured form
• Participate in sprint planning to represent support-driven priorities
Metrics & Reporting• Own CSAT, NPS, first response time, resolution time, and escalation rate
• Report weekly to CTO on support health and customer success indicators
• Set and track targets — not just report numbers
WHO YOU WILL LEAD
You will inherit and build a team that includes:
• SRE & Support Operations Lead (existing, reports to you)
• Junior SRE engineers
• IT Engineer
• L1 Support Engineers × 2–3 for PTaaS/ASM (to be hired with your input)
• AEV L1 Support Engineer × 1 — security-aware profile
You will be involved in hiring the L1 team and shaping their profiles. This is a build role, not a manage role.
