Key Responsibilities

• Source, prospect, and qualify new business opportunities through outbound channels (cold calls, email sequences, LinkedIn, events).
• Conduct initial discovery calls to understand customer pain points around compliance, audit readiness, and cybersecurity risk.
• Clearly articulate ControlCase’s value proposition and schedule deeper discovery or demo meetings for senior Account Executives.

• Learn and apply a consultative sales approach tailored to security, risk, and compliance stakeholders (CISO, CIO, Compliance, IT).
• Continuously build knowledge of key frameworks (PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HITRUST, etc.) and how ControlCase helps customers achieve and maintain compliance.
• Meet and exceed monthly and quarterly KPIs for outreach, meetings set, and qualified pipeline created.

Qualifications

• 1–3 years of B2B sales experience, preferably in SaaS, IT services, cybersecurity, or other technology solutions.
• Demonstrated success in an outbound or SDR/BDR role (cold calling, email prospecting, social selling).
• Strong interest in cybersecurity, compliance, and helping customers solve complex risk and audit challenges.
• Clear, confident communication skills with the ability to speak to technical and business stakeholders.
• Comfortable working in a metrics-driven, high-activity environment with a hunter mindset.
• Experience with a CRM (Salesforce or similar) and sales engagement tools is a plus.
• Bachelor’s degree in business, technology, or related field preferred.

What We Offer
