Business Development Representative (BDR/SDR)

At Mimecast, we're redefining cybersecurity and leading the charge in human risk management. We protect businesses from evolving threats, and you'll be at the forefront. Every customer you bring on board builds something bigger - for them, for us, for our communities, and for your career. Simply put - when we grow, you grow.

We set you up to win. Top-tier enablement, smart coaching, and real insights mean you'll smash quotas, not just hit them. You get the tools and knowledge to sell with confidence, turning complex sales cycles into closed deals.

Your career path? It's yours to shape. Compelling commission, clear progression, and chances to lead, specialize, or pivot - you decide what's next. Here, success isn't just about the deals you close. It's about your progress, your influence, your impact.

Ready to push boundaries and accelerate your career? Let's make it happen.
