Customer Success Specialist
🚀🔐 We’re hiring: Post‐Sales Customer Success (Mobilisation) Lead | Glasgow (Hybrid)
Bring complex cyber services to life — smoothly, securely, and with real customer impact.
This role is critical to Sapphire’s growth: you’ll lead post‐sales mobilisation from late‐stage handover through to steady‐state delivery, ensuring customers get high‐quality outcomes, on time, and aligned to their needs.
📍 Location: Glasgow — 3 days per week in our Glasgow office (hybrid)
✈️ Travel: UK-wide (as needed)
🛡️ Security: Ability to gain UK security clearance (transferable clearance a plus)
💡 What you’ll do (the fun, impactful bits)
✅ Own mobilisation end‐to‐end across multiple service lines (e.g., SOC + consulting/advisory), driving scope, dependencies, critical path and “go‐live” readiness.
🤝 Orchestrate delivery across teams (SOC, VM, awareness, consulting/pro services, TAMs, DFIR partners, ops and customer stakeholders) so the whole solution lands seamlessly.
📌 Set governance & ways of working: steerco/ops reviews, risk management, clear RACI, crisp escalation routes and decision logs — from mobilisation into BAU.
🗣️ Lead customer comms with confidence: senior stakeholder updates, progress reviews, risk/issue forums, and go‐live checkpoints.
🧪 Drive technical readiness: coordinate pre‐live activities (e.g., threat modelling, integration validation, tabletop exercises), baseline runbooks and ensure a clean handover to TAMs/Operations.
📊 Track what matters: define entry/exit gates, monitor mobilisation KPIs/SLAs, and report status/risks/benefit realisation.
🔎 What we’re looking for
🌟 Proven delivery leadership in post‐sales mobilisation across multi‐service cyber security programmes (SOC + consulting/advisory).
🧠 Comfortable translating technical detail for both executive and hands‐on audiences.
🛠️ Working knowledge of SIEM/XDR, cloud & endpoint, identity, firewalls, vulnerability management (bonus for Microsoft Security and Exabeam).
🧩 Strong stakeholder management + ability to run governance, define RACI, and align cross‐functional teams (TAM, SOC, DFIR).
🗂️ Confident managing multiple parallel onboarding workstreams and aligning to customer change/incident processes.
🚗 Full driving licence + UK travel.
🎯 How success looks
⏱️ On‐time, within‐scope go‐lives across service lines (clear acceptance gates, readiness met).
😊 Great customer experience early-life: strong stakeholder feedback, smooth handover to TAMs/BAU.
🟢 Operational readiness: agreed RACI, tested runbooks/escalations, validated integrations, early KPI/SLA performance trending green.

We’re proud to be an Equal Opportunities Employer and we welcome applications from everyone — what matters most is your ability to do the role.
