The Business Development Manager SECOPS is responsible for establishing relationships with large and medium‑sized businesses (customers/partners) on behalf of Fortinet, as well as maintaining and growing business with installation‑base partners/customers. This role will sell the breadth of Fortinet’s capabilities, with a specific focus on SECOPS engagements, infrastructure, and security services. The role holder will manage the engagement and development of significant deals and have an outstanding track record of selling complex solutions and services in full collaboration with the in‑country/territory team of Major Account Managers, Channel Managers, etc. Over time, there will be more and more Fortinet partners/customers with legacy infrastructure who wish to transform into the new agile, digital world. To ensure a stronger pull toward the new world over legacy (ensuring long‑term customer journey and revenues), we need a BDM whose primary focus is on the digital world but also has legacy world experience. From an outside perspective, this will appear smooth and consistent to our partners, customers, and prospects.

Overall Sales/Technical Expertise

• Understanding of modern methodologies and movements such as design thinking, agile, and lean business models, which are increasingly important to partners/customers and proposals.

Responsibilities / Accountabilities

• Lead the development of an effective portfolio business plan outlining the strategy for success and maximizing revenues.
• Ensure partner/customer satisfaction is maintained at the highest levels.
• Develop account plans focusing on client relationship development and account growth/retention within install‑base and net‑new customers/partners.
• Manage and develop a long‑term sustainable pipeline of new deals into both install‑base and net‑new partners/customers.
• Achieve the revenue targets set out.
• Produce workable quarterly/annual business and activity plans for the region and/or market segment.
