• Report on sales performance, key customers, market insights and provide product/proposition feedback to the broader ZeroTier organization

• Represent the company at industry events, agency meetings, and partner forums; travel as needed based on territory (domestic and international).

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of successful sales experience in SaaS software and/or networking platforms, with a focus on enterprise sales and meaningful public‑sector engagement.

• Strong familiarity with leading deals through public‑sector acquisition pathways, including relevant contract vehicles (e.g., GWACs/IDIQs/BPAs and SLED equivalents), pricing/terms, and negotiation to close.

• Proven ability to source, track, and advance opportunities via federal procurement vehicles and portals such as GSA MAS, NASA SEWP, CIO‑SP4, Alliant, and DoD eMall, working with agencies and channel partners.

• The ability to build and execute co‑sell motions with SIs, resellers, distributors, MSPs, and other ecosystem partners; enable partners and drive partner‑sourced pipeline when and where appropriate.

• Experience working in a startup or similar sales environment, creating, progressing, and maintaining a strong pipeline (4x quota).

• Possess a proven analytical and data‑driven approach to sales with proficiency using Hubspot, SDFC, Zoom, Slack, Google Suite and other collaboration and lead generation applications.

• Familiarity and technical product/ecosystem knowledge of networking (VPNs/SD‑WAN) and cybersecurity technologies. Preferential consideration will be given to candidates with proven success selling SaaS networking and/or security products.

• Excellent cross‑functional communication, both written and verbal.

• Ability to perform basic technical demonstrations and answer high‑level product and feature questions.

• Our ideal candidate will be passionate, energetic, optimistic, and results‑driven with deep technical as well as selling experience, and comfort in cross‑collaboration with Marketing and Product organizations.

• Preference will be given to candidates who are proficient in multiple languages.

• BA/BS University degree or equivalent strongly preferred.
