Overview

Regional Sales Director USA - Great Lakes

We are Hadrian - a cybersecurity startup. A force reshaping the future of cybersecurity. Founded in August 2021, we\'ve secured €20 million in funding and the backing of ABN AMRO Ventures, propelling us into a new era.

Our goal is to provide companies with a real-time Exposure Management platform, viewing security through a hacker\'s eyes because, well, hackers understand hackers best. We continuously map the digital footprint of organizations, discover risks, and prioritize remediation for security teams to harden their external attack surfaces.

Located in Amsterdam\'s buzzing Leidseplein and near London\'s famous Paddington Station, our diverse team from 20+ countries is on a mission to revolutionize security. Join us in securing over 200 businesses and be at the forefront of automated offensive security.

Your Role

As our regional Sales Director in the Great Lakes region, you will play a pivotal role in accelerating our go-to-market strategy in a high-potential region. Your prior experience in sales, encompassing roles as a Sales Development Representative and Account Executive, will prove instrumental in your success.

As a regional Sales Director in this new market, you will be entrusted with the autonomy to oversee the entire sales cycle, from lead generation to deal closure. Your passion for cybersecurity and deep understanding of the industry will be key as you engage with customers, shape regional strategy, and represent Hadrian in the market.

Work with internal teams to devise strategies for driving pipeline growth within the Great Lakes US territory. Take charge of both outbound prospecting and inbound lead follow-up.
• Research & Personalization: Dive deep into accounts to identify key decision-makers and champions. Craft personalized messaging that resonates with the target audience and qualifies their interest.
• Sales Execution: Demonstrate a deep understanding of Hadrian\'s solutions and their value proposition. Engage with C-level executives, providing industry insights and positioning our solutions effectively.
• Account Management: Foster and maintain relationships with key business units and stakeholders. Adopt a consultative approach, listening to customer needs and adjusting strategies accordingly.
• Achieve Targets: Consistently meet or exceed quarterly sales quotas, while abiding by Hadrian\'s values and objectives.

• Have a proven track record of hitting or exceeding sales quotas with minimal account churn.

• Have strong previous relationships with sales enablement and operation teams.
• Have experience with CRM tools like Salesforce or HubSpot.
