Role
Who you are
- You are an adept salesperson, capable of engaging in business-level and technical conversations at multiple levels of the partner organization
- You have experience working with partners whose customer base includes: mid-market and enterprise companies; and local/state government
- You have an in-depth understanding of the long buyer journey and can lead a complex, multi-quarter sale in a highly consultative manner
- You are used to building value in competitive situations and enjoy working on products that require deep product understanding, combined with technical knowledge
- You are naturally analytical and enjoy digging into business models and helping partners deliver the Dispel value proposition
- Finally, you enjoy building – you like to actively participate in the development of our channel growth strategy and partner enablement within a fast paced start up
- If you’re motivated, smart, persistent, and a great teammate, we want to hear from you!
- 3-5 years of cybersecurity, OT/ICS, or other related sales experience focusing on building channel relationships
- Understands how to navigate the channel ecosystem: Value Added Resellers, Distribution Partners, and MSSP models within the United States
- Self-driven and good expedition behavior: when you hit a new city to set up for a conference on a weekend, you'll be eager to be there and pick up any task that needs doing next
- 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)
- 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
- Goal oriented: Highly driven with a "Get it done" attitude
- Want to travel: you'll be getting on planes. A lot. Sometimes to small towns in middle America for a sales conference, sometimes to far-flung places. 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
What the job involves
