• Experience in technical sales or cybersecurity is a strong plus.
• Demonstrated ability to prospect, qualify, and close your own deals.
• Proficient in territory planning and account targeting.
• You’re autonomous, proactive, and take full ownership—but you’re also coachable and value feedback.
• Strong communication skills, with a professional, credible demeanor.
• Thrive in fast-evolving environments where flexibility and speed are essential.
