• Partner closely with sales engineers, channel partners, and internal stakeholders to execute coordinated account strategies.
• Maintain accurate forecasting, territory plans, and pipeline hygiene within Salesforce.
• Leverage AI and productivity tools to streamline workflows, improve deal quality, and support data-driven decision making.

We'd love to talk to you if you have many of the following:

• Demonstrated experience selling into and partnering with Information Security / Cybersecurity teams, with a strong understanding of enterprise security frameworks, compliance standards, and the ability to align solutions to customer security and risk requirements.
• Extensive success in a quota-carrying, customer-facing enterprise sales role selling complex technology solutions.

  • Expertise with NetBackup, Backup Exec, and InfoScale, including immutable storage, hardened media servers, ACL-based controls, and encryption
• Strong track record of negotiating and closing high-value enterprise contracts.
• Executive-level communication and presentation skills, with the ability to clearly articulate technical and business value.
• Experience working with channel partners and cross-functional deal teams.
