This is a unique opportunity to combine the innovation and speed of an AI-native security company with the scale, reach, and market leadership of F5.

  • Partner closely with F5 enterprise account teams to drive new revenue and expand existing customer relationships

  • Own and influence complex enterprise sales cycles, from discovery and technical validation through negotiation and close

  • Engage C-level and senior stakeholders (CISO, CIO, CTO, AI/ML leaders, Risk & Compliance)

  • Translate CalypsoAI’s technical capabilities into compelling business, security, and risk outcomes

  • Lead tailored product demonstrations, executive presentations, and proof-of-value engagements

  • Convert inbound enterprise demand into closed new business

  • Manage pipeline, forecasting, and deal strategy while helping mature the enterprise sales playbook

  • Capture customer feedback and market insights to influence product roadmap and GTM strategy

What You Bring 

  • 5+ years of experience in enterprise software sales, ideally in cybersecurity, infrastructure, or AI-related solutions 

  • Background in cybersecurity or selling security solutions is a strong advantage, particularly experience engaging with CISOs, security architects, and risk teams 

  • Proven success selling complex, high-value solutions into large enterprise environments 

  • Experience operating as a product-focused seller or overlay specialist in partnership with core account teams 

  • Strong experience engaging senior decision-makers within large, matrixed organizations 

  • Solid grounding in qualification and value-based selling methodologies (MEDDIC, Command of the Message preferred) 

  • Ability to operate effectively in fast-paced, evolving environments while navigating enterprise-scale processes 

  • Familiarity with LinkedIn Sales Navigator, HubSpot, and modern enterprise sales technology stacks 

  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence both technical and executive audiences

  • Comfortable working to targets and managing pressure with professionalism and integrity 

  • Prior startup, scale-up, or post-acquisition integration experience is a plus 

  • Strong interest in AI, cybersecurity, and emerging enterprise technologies; knowledge of Generative AI and LLM ecosystems is a strong advantage 

 

Why Join Us 

  • Play a key role in shaping F5’s AI security portfolio following the CalypsoAI acquisition
