Commercial Alignment: Support the KAD in aligning commercial terms and ensuring that all Auth0-specific technical and business requirements are accurately reflected in the final proposal

Relationships: Who You Will Impact

Key Account Director (KAD): Act as the primary specialist partner to the KAD, providing the deep product expertise needed to capture CIAM revenue while supporting the KAD’s overall account ownership and forecasting

Technical Specialists: Work hand-in-hand with Auth0 SE specialists and Principal SEs to lead CIAM-specific discovery sessions and validate technical fit

The Customer: Serve as the dedicated Auth0 subject matter expert during engagements, leading deep-dive discussions on CIAM business outcomes and technical implementation
