Director of Technical Support – EMEA and APAC

Summary
Data has never been more valuable and vulnerable. As cybercriminals become more sophisticated and regulations more strict, organizations struggle to answer one key question: "Is my data safe?"

At Varonis, we see the world of cybersecurity differently. Instead of chasing threats, we believe the most practical approach is protecting data from the inside out. We've built the industry's first fully autonomous Data Security Platform to help our customers dramatically reduce risk with minimal human effort.

At Varonis, we move fast. We're an ultra-collaborative company with brilliant people who care deeply about the details. Together, we're solving interesting and complex puzzles to keep the world's data safe.

We work in a flexible, hybrid model, so you can choose the home-office balance that works best for you.
We're disruptors, innovators, and relentless problem-solvers. We protect data, and we do it differently. Our Support team is a crew of passionate professionals who thrive on innovation and never settle for the status quo. With our recent transition to a SaaS platform, we're at a pivotal moment, and the opportunities for growth have never been greater. If you're ready to work with cutting-edge technology and lead a global team that values bold ideas, fearless collaboration, and customer obsession, you've found your home.
