• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work alongside internal teams and channel partners to identify new opportunities outside your primary portfolio and ensure seamless, high-touch customer support.
• Strategic Selling: Lead sales presentations, virtual and in-person product demonstrations, and structured on-site evaluations to show how Trellix solutions map to specific institutional needs.
• Deal Architecture: Navigate public sector purchasing vehicles (e.g., NASPO, GSA, state contracts) and healthcare buying groups to accelerate the sales cycle.

About You

• Industry Expertise: Proven track record of selling security-focused software, cloud solutions, and professional services to SLED entities and/or major Healthcare networks.
• Public Sector & Health IQ: Understanding of the unique challenges of these verticals, including strict regulatory compliance (HIPAA, CJIS, FERPA), budget cycles, and grant funding mechanisms.
• Trusted Advisor: Existing, high-level relationships within the territory and comfort navigating the multi-layered decision-making processes inherent in government and hospital systems.
• Technical Aptitude: Strong foundational knowledge of networking topologies, cloud security, and the evolving threat landscape facing critical infrastructure.
• Collaborative Closer: Thrive in a multi-tiered, multi-divisional sales environment and know how to leverage internal resources (such as inside sales and channel partners) to scale your efforts.
