Job Description

Empowering the world to reach its full potential, securely—that’s our vision in Cisco Secure. We do this by providing effective security solutions and becoming our customers' most trusted partner. Security is everything in a world of evolving threats. Over the next few years, we’re making big investments for a 10x better customer experience and big growth in Cisco Secure.

Here’s where you come in: it starts with building a best-in-class SaaS sales team with a passion for our customers. Come join us, and let’s build the future together.

What you’ll do

As a Sales Development Representative (SDR) for Security, you will rally alongside a team of highly motivated SDRs to build a qualified pipeline of potential partners. This includes prospecting partners by phone, email, LinkedIn, or whatever it takes to get them passionate about and engaged with Cisco Security! You will not only be responsible for prospecting but will also be expected to be a subject matter expert on all things Cisco Security.

Cisco’s security portfolio is delivered through the cloud. Our team is our secret weapon. We run the spectrum from artists to analysts, low-key to high-energy, and bring together a diversity of skill sets, experiences, and perspectives to solve what we consider to be the world's most pressing geopolitical challenge — transforming the security industry as we know it. Together we build solutions that are easy, effective, trustworthy, and enduring. And that’s why we are the most loved and trusted security solution.

We have tons of tools and training that will help set you up for success and keep you there, including Sales Boot Camp, ongoing product training, lunch with our lab's team (i.e., security experts), shadowing opportunities, and a stellar group that will cheer you on.

Skills you have

• Any sales and/or lead generation experience is a plus
• A Bachelor's degree
• Tenacity and a hunter mentality
• You are self-aware and open to trying new things
• You thrive on learning and welcome mentorship

3 Reasons you should apply

• You want to be part of one of the fastest-growing SaaS companies in the world and know that you have the ability to impact the outcome

Why Cisco?

#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference powering an inclusive future for all. We embrace digital and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses.

Some may think we’re “old” (36 years strong) and only about hardware, but we’re also a software company. And a security company. We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns, and protects. No other company can do what we do – you can’t put us in a box!

But “Digital Transformation” is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it.) Day to day, we focus on the give and take. We give our best, give our egos a break, and give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA.) We take accountability, bold steps, and take the difference to heart. Because without diversity of thought and a dedication to equality for all, there is no moving forward.

So, you have colorful hair? Don’t care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That’s cool. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Passion for technology and world-changing? Be you, with us!
