• Manage and be accountable for sales targets in the $4–7M range, tracking pipeline health and reporting on deal progress with discipline and rigor
• Lead commercial negotiations, contracting discussions, and deal structuring in partnership with legal, pricing, and delivery stakeholders
• Stay current on technology ecosystem trends — including cybersecurity, OT, cloud, and AI — to bring informed, credible perspectives to client conversations

Travel may be required for this role. The amount of travel will vary from 25% to 100% depending on business need and client requirements.

• 5 years of Technology Sales experience, with a demonstrated track record of originating and closing complex technology deals
• 5 years of cybersecurity sales experience, including selling solutions and services such as Managed Security Services, Security Operations (SOC), Identity & Access Management (IAM), Cloud Security, Threat Detection & Response, or Cyber Risk offerings.
• 2 years of experience selling into, supporting, or working with Operational Technology (OT) environments, including industries such as manufacturing, utilities, energy, chemicals, transportation, oil & gas, or other critical infrastructure sectors.
• 5 years of quota-carrying sales experience, with a proven history of meeting or exceeding annual revenue targets of $4M-$7M or greater through disciplined pipeline management and deal execution.

• 5 years of experience developing net-new business within existing enterprise accounts, partnering with account teams to identify opportunities, build pipeline, and drive revenue growth.
• 5 years of experience leading commercial negotiations, proposal development, deal shaping, and contract discussions in complex enterprise sales environments
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent (minimum 12 years) work experience. (If Associate’s Degree, must have minimum 6 years work experience)

• Build and sustain trusted relationships with senior client stakeholders, acting as a strategic advisor who understands their business priorities and technology needs
• Navigate complex, matrixed organizations — both internally at Accenture and within client accounts — to align stakeholders and drive decisions that advance deals
• Contribute to Accenture's Cybersecurity commercial practice—building reusable sales assets, methods, and client stories related to OT security

Bonus Points If:

• You have experience in OT/ICS cybersecurity or critical infrastructure security roles
