Company mission
To connect people to their industrial control systems, wherever they are.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of cybersecurity, OT/ICS, or other related sales experience
- Ability to understand technical requirements and craft solutions across multiple products
- Ability to develop and execute account plans spanning multiple business units across complex organizations
- A knack for working well with a wide range of people, both internally and externally
- Strong presentation skills, particularly for in-person meetings with multiple stakeholders
- Proven ability to lead complex negotiations involving bespoke commercial agreements
- Superior verbal and written communication skills
- Ability to operate in a highly ambiguous and fast-paced environment
- Strong interest in technology and a deep understanding of the space
- Outgoing: you're the one who makes friends with the person next to you in line for coffee
- Curious: we're working on new technologies that solve age-old problems. You'll want to learn how it was done before, what we're doing that's different, and question why (and if!) the way we do it is better
- Ability to convey complex cybersecurity and engineering topics into plain English (and other local lingos)
- Caretaking spirit for the leads you generate going all the way to being closed deals
- Strong listening: most of sales is not pushing a product. It's listening to what problems a client says they have, and coming up with a tailored, articulate way to solve their personal problem
- Optimistic: selling can be hard. Selling to jaded cybersecurity experts moreso sometimes
- Want to travel: you'll be getting on planes. A lot. Sometimes to far-flung places like Tokyo and Bahrain, sometimes to small towns in middle America. Join the Navy, see the world
- Work well with small teams: as with all tech companies, there's a flat organization here. Be prepared to do different things
- Growth mindset: you'll be given tasks you don't think you can handle. And then you'll learn how to tackle them, and excel
