  • Ensure successful on-site product evaluations.
  • Provide Sales expertise through technical and product presentations, product demonstrations, pilot implementations, beta program administration, and ongoing consultation.

About you:

  • You are located in the Southeast US.
  • You have a background of success selling security-focused software, cloud and related professional services to large enterprise organizations.
  • You have experience being a trusted advisor to an executive level audience providing complex security-based solutions.
  • A deep knowledge of networking topologies and other technologies our customers are using.
  • Direct selling expertise that will produce additional opportunities in your existing accounts to provide our customer with long-term solutions.
  • You have existing relationships, established contacts; and the intimate knowledge of our customers current challenges and needs.
  • Proven customer-centric selling experience to increase revenues and build lasting value to customers.
  • Success working in a multi-tiered, multi-divisional sales organization.
  • You have 6 years combined experience of the above in a high technology and/or information security environment.
