  • Maintain collaborative and effective internal communications with Optiv team members relative to specific opportunities, associated requirements and client satisfaction.

What we're looking for

  • Experience in product or services based sales typically gained over 5-7 years in a technology company, ideally cybersecurity.

  • Proven ability to build and execute territory and account prospecting and expansion plans with a track record of exceeding assigned quotas.

  • Experience engaging cross-functional resources such as sales, pre-sales technical support, and other support personnel in an effective fashion.

  • Demonstrated ability to build productive business relationships with key executives and sponsors within assigned accounts.

  • Effective presentation, verbal and written communication skills.

  • Negotiation experience.
