• Build and execute go-to-market strategies for security solutions across cloud providers, service providers, and high-tech accounts.

• Establish and deepen channel partner relationships and enablement across the portfolio.

• Collaborate with core sellers, product, and marketing to align sales plays and accelerate pipeline.

Experience and Skills

• Proven senior sales leader (manager of managers preferred) with experience building and scaling field sales teams from scratch.

• Deep channel expertise—experience selling through partners is essential.

• Demonstrated success selling to service providers, cloud providers, or large enterprise/high-tech accounts.

• Strong background in security product sales and software/enterprise license agreements.

• Strategic thinker with hands-on selling experience and ability to operate in a hybrid direct/collaborative model.

• Existing relationships in the security ecosystem (partners and customers) are a plus.
