Full Job Description
What Will You Do?

Primary responsibilities include:
  • Own full sales cycles across a geographically defined territory: prospecting, qualifying, presenting, negotiating, and closing.
  • Build and execute a territory plan that evolves through the year and drives where your activity and focus go, with an emphasis on net-new logo acquisition and platform expansion in existing accounts.
  • Run the extended account team. Pull in Sales Engineering, Channel, Customer Success, overlays, and leadership at the right moment rather than at the last minute.
  • Work directly with prospects and customers at the executive level, holding equal business stature with C-level buyers.
  • Develop and use deep partner relationships to build pipeline and shorten cycles.
  • Forecast to within 5% of your initial call, with an accurate weekly commit, key deals broken out in Clari by quarter and month, and no hidden deals.
  • Build and present your own decks and pricing, internally, to prospects, and at events.
  • Coach and raise the level of your peers within the bounds of an individual contributor role. You are the role model on the team.
  • Stay current on cybersecurity threats, competitor positioning, and the SentinelOne platform.
  • Represent SentinelOne at industry events, conferences, partner offices, and field marketing in your region.
What Skills and Knowledge Will You Bring?

Ideal candidates will have:
  • 5 to 7 years of successful sales performance at SentinelOne or a comparable or more complex cybersecurity company, with a record of hitting and over-achieving quota.
  • Proven prospecting and hunting ability, with direct experience building out a commercial territory of large accounts.
  • Consistent closure of $100K+ ACV deals.
  • Strong industry experience and command of the SentinelOne platform and product suite. You should be able to walk through and teach the platform with ease.
  • Deep channel experience: you know how to navigate partners and you have the relationships to prove it.
  • Mastery of MEDDPICC or an equivalent qualification methodology. You structure calls around what you heard, the problem you are solving, and the proposed solution.
  • Proven ability to convert intent into result through deliberate action. You prepare for every engagement, respond quickly, and do what you said you would do.
  • Open to direct feedback and quick to act on it. You are aware of what is happening around you and adjust without being asked.
  • Professional, driven, collaborative, and honest. You look out for your peers.
  • Proficiency with Salesforce, Clari, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Outreach, and Actively.ai
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.
