In this pivotal role, you will drive revenue growth by acquiring new enterprise customers and expanding strategic relationships across the territory.

Kentik unifies and correlates cloud, device, flow, and synthetic data to turn telemetry into action. Unlike traditional monitoring and observability tools, Kentik provides a real-time source of truth that helps infrastructure teams understand their networks in context, improve performance, reduce operational complexity, and accelerate innovation. You will collaborate closely with Business Development, Sales Engineering, Field Marketing, Customer Success, Professional Services, Channel, and regional sales teams to deliver measurable customer and business outcomes.
