  • Share customer feedback on product needs, integration blockers, data protection and governance requirements, and emerging cyber use cases.

You might thrive in this role if you have:

  • 15+ years of enterprise sales, GTM, or sales leadership experience, including substantial experience in cyber.
  • A proven track record building and scaling teams responsible for large, complex strategic accounts and significant revenue targets.
  • Deep understanding of how cyber companies and enterprise security teams evaluate, buy, deploy, and expand technical platforms.
  • Experience building new go-to-market motions and growing adoption beyond initial deployments.
  • The ability to coach senior sellers through long, multi-stakeholder sales cycles.
  • Technical fluency across APIs, cloud and enterprise architecture, data platforms, AI/ML concepts, and security buying requirements.
