  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Product Marketing, Customer Success, Solutions Engineering, and Executive leadership to enable your teams and accelerate deal cycles.
  • Engage directly in strategic deals alongside your reps, bringing executive presence and deal-closing expertise to the most critical opportunities.
  • Manage and forecast sales pipelines across segments, ensuring accurate, timely reporting and proactive risk mitigation.


What You Bring:
  • 6+ years of experience leading enterprise sales teams, including at least 2 years managing managers (second-line experience).
  • A demonstrated track record of exceeding revenue targets in a complex, consultative sales environment selling technical or cybersecurity solutions.
  • Experience functioning as a working first-line manager for direct reps while simultaneously developing a manager layer - comfortable operating at both levels.
  • A strong coaching philosophy with a track record of developing both individual contributors and first-line managers.
  • Excellent pipeline discipline, forecasting accuracy, and operational rigor.
  • A collaborative, one-team approach to selling and leading.


It'd Be Awesome If You Also...
  • Have experience selling cybersecurity solutions, particularly in developer security, AppSec, or cloud security.
  • Have led a team through a period of rapid growth or organizational change.
  • Bring familiarity with MEDDIC/MEDDPICC or other enterprise sales methodologies.
