• Deep familiarity with the Security for AI competitive landscape, including major industry players, AI safety frameworks, and the evolving regulatory environment.

• Minimum of 5 years relevant work experience (Ideal candidates will have experience in at least TWO of the following): sales engineer/pre-sales, competitive intelligence, solution architect, product management, technical marketing, and product marketing

• Proven ability to synthesize complex technical concepts related to AI threats and security into field-actionable guidance and executive summaries.

• Superior communication skills including experience presenting to senior & executive level management.
