The Role


Proofpoint is seeking a highly motivated, strategic, and technically savvy OEM Customer Success Manager (CSM) to drive success across our OEM customer base.


This is a post-sales, customer-centric role focused on ensuring customers realize maximum value from Proofpoint’s threat intelligence and data services. Unlike traditional deployments, OEM customers integrate Proofpoint data directly into their own products and platforms. As such, this role requires a strong ability to engage with product, engineering, and business stakeholders to drive deeper adoption, integration maturity, and long-term growth. This is a brand new role to Proofpoint with significant opportunity to help set our strategy and build processes to support our OEM business.


The OEM CSM will act as a trusted advisor, helping customers operationalize Proofpoint data within their offerings, expand use cases, and maximize the business impact of their investment.
