Company mission
Expel is on a mission to make security easy to understand, easy to use, and easy to continuously improve.
Role
Who you are
- A real passion for Sales Done Right - meaning consultative, customer-focused and based in transparency, honesty and integrity
- An understanding of information security -- technologies, products and services; specifically cloud first security minded organizations
- Experience working in a fast-growing, “scale up” environment
- Comfortable working remotely, and asynchronously (you will be based out of your home office and will need strong prioritization/time management habits)
- Lots of creativity, passion and problem solving towards helping customers
- An ability to talk to both business and technical buyers about what you’re selling - you don’t have to be an engineer, but you do need to understand what you sell
- A Bachelor’s degree or a compelling story
- 3+ years of professional experience, with at least 1 in information security sales
What the job involves
- Understand what Expel does and approach how it maps to your customers' business problems with a consultative mindset
- Introduce Expel to the customers who believe in you and tell them what we do. Find where we fit from a cloud perspective and bring them onboard so we can help them together
- Talk to new prospective customers. Begin to build your personal relationship with them as you tell them about Expel. If Expel fits, change them from prospects into customers
- Qualify prospects based on their interest level in Expel’s cloud solutions and their ability to purchase by virtue of the buyer’s budget, authority, need, and timeline
- Tell us what you learn as you explore the market. Help us understand where Expel fits, what we are missing, and how can we be better and ultimately, get to “yes” before “no”
Our take
As ransomware and hacking threats rise, identifying and resolving breaches in security must be done quickly. Lack of transparency in cyber-security makes it difficult for engineers to detect, understand, and fix the issues as fast as possible. Expel is aiming to redefine what a security operations center and managed detection service looks like in the modern age.
Though the company faces competition from the vast number of cybersecurity platforms, Expel positions itself as a viable alternative to the service delivery model of managed security service providers (MSSPs) by offering a comprehensive management platform that connects to its customers’ tech remotely through APIs, providing fast detection and clear solutions.
Having reached unicorn status, the company is establishing a stronger presence in the European and Asia-Pacific markets, capturing business in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Singapore. Its 2022 funding is being used to accelerate sustainable growth, continue the company's international expansion, and push forward with go-to-market initiatives.
