Job description

eSentire is on a mission to hunt, investigate and stop cyber threats before they become business disrupting events. We were founded on the premise that if you can't find a solution, you build it. And today, that means pioneering the future of AI-powered security. At eSentire, we're building a cutting-edge AI Security Operations Platform that will amplify human expertise, not replace it, creating a workplace where innovation meets impact.

Our culture is based on transparency, teamwork, and continuous innovation, where your ideas can shape how AI and human intelligence work together to outsmart cyber adversaries. As the authority in Managed Detection and Response, we protect the critical data and applications of 2000+ organizations in 80+ countries, across 35 industries—and we're looking for forward-thinking talent to help us define what AI-first security, human-backed trust means for the industry.

About the Role:

Ready to join a cybersecurity innovator that's redefining what's possible with AI? We're looking for ambitious sales professionals who want to sell innovative technology that solves real-world problems; where AI-powered security meets human-backed trust and expertise to protect growing businesses. If you thrive on building relationships, closing deals, and helping mid-market and small enterprises scale securely in an AI-driven world, this is your opportunity.

As a Senior Territory Manager, you'll drive revenue and market penetration in the mid-market to small enterprise segment - organizations that are hungry for security that scales with them, not against them. You'll own the full sales cycle: prospecting and qualifying new accounts, building strategic account plans, developing pipeline, forecasting accurately, and growing revenue through new customer acquisition and expansion. Your success depends on positioning eSentire's AI-powered MDR as the competitive advantage that lets resource-constrained security teams punch above their weight. You'll create exceptional customer experiences where every interaction reinforces that we're not just a vendor - we're a strategic partner invested in their growth and security posture.

We pioneered Managed Detection and Response, and today we're leading the industry's transformation with AI-first security solutions. Our top performers are strategic thinkers who combine consultative selling with technical curiosity. They understand how AI can democratize enterprise-grade security for companies that don't have massive security teams. You'll be selling solutions that let smaller organizations compete with the big players by leveraging AI-powered threat detection and response.

Responsibilities

• Develop, manage, and nurture new business relationships and strategic partnerships to meet and exceed territory quota.
• Evangelize corporate messaging, demonstrate unique value proposition, and establish key competitive differentiators.
• Manage fast-paced sales cycles, while also navigating long-term strategic engagements.
• Collaborate with internal lead generation resources to establish a pipeline of business and expand opportunities within the territory.
• Leverage personal networks and business partnerships to generate net new leads for the territory.
• Attend trade shows and travel to client engagements within the territory.
• Collaborate with the executive team to develop near-term and long-term strategic territory plans.
• Lead weekly territory calls and establish strong lines of communication between Sales Engineering, Marketing, Channel, Inside Sales, and Business Development resources.
• Constantly improve communication and build the relationship with our Sales Engineering team in an effort to create a cohesive selling process and customer experience.
• Work in conjunction with Channel resources to ensure success of Strategic Partners and strengthen Channel relationships.
• Provide transparency and accuracy in sales forecasting and business intelligence.
• Maintain and deliver on best practices and activity updates around CRM.

Requirements

• A Bachelor degree or equivalent combination of education and experience.
• A minimum of 5 years’ experience in technical sales with the ability to navigate a complex sales cycle.
• Previous experience in selling MDR and managed cyber security solutions is required.
• A proven track record of success in a similar role.
• Ability to communicate effectively, in writing and verbally, with both customers and colleagues at all levels.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Experience of successfully translating and communicating key technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Must be highly motivated, self-starter, possess a positive attitude, and have excellent organizational skills.
• Exceptional interpersonal and relationship management skills.
