Job description

We're seeking a high-performing Senior Sales Director – Corporate WiFi to lead our expansion into the corporate connectivity and secure enterprise WiFi market. This senior, quota-carrying role focuses on building Purple’s presence across corporate offices, multi-site enterprises, manufacturing, logistics, professional services, and secure workplace environments.

Unlike Purple’s heritage in guest WiFi, this role focuses on secure corporate networks, identity-driven access, policy control, monitoring, and enterprise connectivity. You will help organisations modernise their network access strategy, reduce cyber risk, and bring automation and intelligence to their WiFi environments.

Reporting to the SVP Global Sales, you will lead Purple’s corporate WiFi go‑to‑market execution, develop strong customer and partner relationships, and deliver growth in a strategically important vertical.

This role is designed to scale in size and complexity over time — beginning with mid‑market and upper mid‑market organisations and expanding into national and international tier‑one enterprise opportunities as the solution and GTM mature.

Why Join Purple

Our values define us. We get the job done without politics or drama, we develop our people, and we take pride in making work fun. You’ll join a team that knows its stuff, keeps learning, and raises the bar every day.

What You Will Do

• Lead all commercial activity for the Corporate WiFi vertical across the UK and international markets.
• Drive growth initially through mid‑market and upper‑mid‑market opportunities, expanding into large national and tier‑one international enterprise accounts as the vertical matures.
• Own a senior sales quota across a pipeline spanning mid‑market to strategic enterprise deals.
• Build and maintain executive relationships with CISOs, CIOs, Network Architects, Heads of Workplace, and Digital Transformation leaders.
• Position Purple as a trusted partner for secure identity‑based access, network intelligence, segmentation, policy automation, monitoring, and compliance.
• Articulate the value of secure onboarding, advanced monitoring, analytics, and zero‑trust‑based network access.
• Execute corporate go‑to‑market plans across priority verticals including corporate offices, logistics, distribution, manufacturing, and professional services.
• Support the evolution and refinement of Purple’s corporate WiFi offerings as the solution scales toward enterprise‑grade deployments.
• Work with MSPs, integrators, and OEM partners to broaden reach, enhance integration, and drive adoption.
• Support partner enablement to strengthen commercial and technical execution.
• Represent Purple at industry events, cybersecurity forums, networking conferences, and partner showcases.
• Contribute to market‑facing thought leadership on secure corporate WiFi, network intelligence, and identity‑driven access.

Who You Are

• A proven enterprise sales leader with 7–10+ years selling secure WiFi, network security, identity/access, or cybersecurity solutions.
• Experienced in selling to CIO, CISO, and IT Director‑level stakeholders.
• Comfortable managing complex, multi‑stakeholder, long sales cycles.
• Strong understanding of corporate network architectures, security models, and identity‑based access controls.
• Commercially driven, highly autonomous, and able to operate effectively in an evolving product/vertical environment.
• Executive‑level communication skills with the presence to influence senior technology and security leaders.
• Excited to help Purple mature this vertical from mid‑market roots into global tier‑one enterprise engagements.

Values

• Make it happen – We own things and get them done whatever it takes.
• Playful and positive – Life’s too short to take things too seriously; we love positivity.
• In it together – We’re always available to help for the greater good of the business.
• No bullsh*t, no politics – We want to enjoy coming to work and make it pleasant.
• Know your stuff, keep learning – We value knowledge and a thirst for more of it.
• No drama – Things don’t always go right, but a calm head always helps.
• Raise the bar – We aim high, take smart risks, and push what’s possible.

Bring Your Best Self to Work

At Purple, we are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. We value the unique perspectives and experiences that each individual brings, and we believe that diversity enriches our team and drives innovation. We encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or any other characteristic. We understand that everyone's journey is different, and we are open to conversations about flexible working arrangements that can accommodate your needs.

Benefits

• Competitive senior‑level salary + performance bonus
• Hybrid working with international travel
• Emphasis on learning and development to progress your career
• 25 days holiday (plus bank holidays) and the option to buy extra days
• 4 volunteering days each year – give something back to the community
• Life insurance at 2 x salary
• Employee Assistance Programme, 24/7 helpline
• Company pension, 4% employer contribution
• Private Healthcare & Long Term Incentive Plan after 12 months’ service
