  • Build a scalable pre-sales organization: Establish and refine best practices, processes, and methodologies for technical discovery, demonstrations, POC execution, and opportunity qualification.
  • Drive team performance and resource allocation: Prioritize resources across opportunities, ensure effective coverage of strategic accounts, and maintain a high standard of execution across the team.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally: Act as the voice of the customer, partnering with Product and R&D to communicate customer needs, influence the product roadmap, and drive continuous product improvement.
  • Maintain technical excellence: Ensure the team develops deep product knowledge and stays ahead of developments in cloud security, emerging threats, and the broader cybersecurity landscape.
  • Support hiring and organizational growth: Recruit, onboard, and develop Solutions Engineers as the organization expands.
  • Lead by example: Stay close to customers and strategic opportunities, stepping in to lead complex technical discussions and support high-priority deals when needed.
  • Continuously improve execution: Identify opportunities to improve team efficiency, customer engagement, technical win rates, and collaboration across the sales organization.

  • At least 5 years of hands-on people management experience, including leading, hiring, and developing pre-sales teams.

  • A strong technical foundation and the ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and business audiences.
  • Experience supporting enterprise sales cycles, including technical discovery, product demonstrations, POCs, and stakeholder presentations.
  • Strong understanding of cloud technologies, cloud infrastructure, and modern security concepts.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
