What the job involves
- We are looking for a charismatic and influential Product Security Sales Specialist - to join our Cybersecurity sales team
- In this role, you will be a thought leader and SME driving opportunity and revenue growth using your deep technical knowledge and wide exposure to the security industry
- You will forge new business relationships and leverage existing ones to drive exponential growth within the Great Plains/Mountain states —collaborating and owning all aspects of the sales cycle and working alongside the enterprise account executives to ensure alignment on account strategy
- This is an opportunity to jump in and drive Infoblox’s sales and business development of our BloxOne Threat Defense product suite, which is positioned to become one of the most strategic technology platforms of Infoblox’s future and to play a critical role in the company’s ongoing success as a leader in network control, security, and cloud solutions

- Qualify opportunities and own them through the solutioning phase - convince through product demos and position POC to close deals
- Serve as a trusted advisor to customers and prospects by being the security subject matter expert (versus a product SME)—have the scope and perspective to broadly understand, address, and advise on security issues and the industry landscape
- Understand and distill complex technical problems in the security industry and articulate them to senior executives and decision-makers
- Identify and understand our clients’ networking and cloud infrastructure environments and how Infoblox’s BloxOne Security solutions can solve customer problems

- Develop effective cross-functional relationships to maximize customer and company value
Our take
Infoblox is widely recognized as a market leader in the security and networking space, particularly in DNS, DHCP and IP address management (DDI). About 70% of the Fortune 500 use Infoblox’s solutions, including Deloitte, GlaxoSmithKline, Nestle, PayPal, Pfizer, and Samsung.
The company has been around since 1999, but a 2016 acquisition by Vista Equity Partners helped bring new investment. Since then, Infoblox has invested heavily in developing next-gen, cloud native applications that the shift to hybrid and remote working has rendered incredibly valuable. It’s been able to open up offices in 21 countries and continuously expand its workforce.
After its latest round of funding led by Warburg Pincus, one of the most active growth investors in enterprise technology and cloud-based platforms, the company’s position as a market leader looks secure.
