* 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 Southern California, 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.
