About the Role
Paladin is growing fast. We are looking for a Support Associate to join our Customer Success team. In this role, you’ll be on the front line of working with Paladin users throughout their lifecycle. We protect a wide variety of organizations - anything from small accounting firms to fast-growing software startups and mature thousand employee organizations. You will be answering questions and engaging with users ranging from non-technical operation employees to security operations teams and senior executives.
Your role is to ensure customers are seeing enormous value from our suite of cyber solutions and help serve as a trusted “voice of the customer” back to the Product and Engineering teams. We’re looking for creative problem solvers excited to make an impact and translate user feedback into feature requests and bug fixes.
This is an individual contributor role that reports to the Head of Customer Success.
You should be excited about the idea of stepping into a role where the “perfect” template doesn’t exist and eager to own outcomes in a fast-paced environment with plenty of ambiguity. We’re looking for someone with a growth mindset, a bias towards action, and above all else a problem solver. Culturally, people with low egos, high EQs, intellectual curiosity, and a bit of a tinkerer side tend to feel among their tribe at Paladin.
Compensation: $45,000-$80,000**
**Range listed is for San Francisco, CA. We localize compensation to the top 20th percentile of the applicant's area.

- Serve as the trusted partner for end users on product functionality and cybersecurity best practices generally.

- Strong ability to prioritize and “get sh*t done”. You possess a strong sense of urgency in driving projects to completion. Can speak to past experiences of getting projects across the finish line repeatedly and on-time.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills along with the ability to explain technical topics to non-technical audiences.
- You’re naturally curious, love learning new things, and are proactive in sharing knowledge with others.
- High tolerance for ambiguity. You should be excited that your priorities will change over time, in large part based on what you see as the highest-impact end user issues that need to be resolved.
- Low ego. You know when something is over your head and aren’t afraid to ask for help.
Bonus qualifications
- Able to work Bermuda Standard Time (EST-1)
- Cybersecurity knowledge or experience
- Experience with our customer support stack is helpful but not required (ZenDesk, Asana, Jira, Confluence, Slack)
