• Build customized proposals and pricing models (fixed, redemption, and hybrid) tailored to corporate breach incidents and client specifications.
• Coordinate internal cross-functional support with Finance, Legal, Operations, and Product teams to orchestrate contract execution (Incident Response Services Agreements), deal redlines, and rapid deployment operations.
• Maintain pipeline hygiene, record account activities, and track opportunity updates in Salesforce.

What could set you apart

• Curiosity and enthusiasm for continuous learning within the Canadian cybersecurity landscape, cyber incident frameworks, and privacy legislation (PIPEDA and provincial standards)
• Hunter Mindset with a track record of B2B business growth and partner ecosystem expansion
• Established network within Canadian cyber law firms, insurance carriers, or forensic technology vendors
