• Develop trusted relationships with CISOs, CIOs, Security Architects, and executive stakeholders,
• Identify expansion opportunities across Darktrace's broader platform, including Network, Email, Cloud, Endpoint, Identity, OT, and AI Security solutions,

• Support the development of repeatable Cloud & Hybrid Network security sales motions, technical enablement programs, and customer success frameworks,
• Create and present thought leadership content including webinars, whitepapers, conference presentations, blogs, and industry research,
• Represent Darktrace at customer executive events, analyst briefings, industry conferences, and Cloud security forums,
