  • Lead technical evaluations, develop quantified business cases, negotiate, and close complex multi year agreements.

  • Work across Sales Engineering, Product, Customer Success, and partners while maintaining accurate forecasts and CRM data.

What We’re Looking For
  • 8+ years in B2B quota carrying sales, including 5+ years in cybersecurity and 3+ years selling directly to large enterprises.

  • A consistent record of exceeding quota and winning complex deals worth six figures or spanning multiple years against established competitors.

  • Existing relationships with CISOs and security buyers in South Florida, plus the ability to self source pipeline.

  • Technical credibility across security, cloud, and AI, with the ability to translate product value into executive level ROI.

  • High growth or challenger company experience, strong ownership, and willingness to travel.
