- Proactively identify customer risk and reinforce the business value and impact of Recorded Future’s solutions
- Apply a consultative, insight-driven sales approach to uncover customer challenges and align solutions to strategic priorities
- Manage the full sales cycle end-to-end, from prospecting and discovery through negotiation and close, with typical deal cycles of 4–8 months
- Partner closely with Sales Engineers and internal teams to develop tailored solutions and progress complex opportunities
- Maintain accurate territory and account plans that balance new-logo pipeline generation, account retention, and expansion growth.
- Proven success in driving new business development with a “land and expand” strategy.
- Demonstrated ability to prospect, develop, and close new enterprise business
- Experience managing and growing accounts within large and complex organizations
- Strong track record of identifying whitespace and expansion opportunities across teams, business units, and use cases
- Ability to navigate complex buying groups and influence technical, commercial, and executive stakeholders
- Strong consultative selling, discovery, negotiation, and relationship-building skills
- Experience owning complex 4–8 month sales cycles from initial engagement through close
- Ability to balance the different disciplines required for generating new business and developing long-term strategic growth.
- 5+ years experience in cybersecurity, threat intelligence, or other security solutions in a SaaS enterprise environment is preferred
If you enjoy the challenge of winning new customers while building deeper, more strategic relationships with existing ones, this role offers the best of both worlds. You’ll have the opportunity to create new relationships from the ground up while developing Key Accounts into long-term strategic partnerships that deliver meaningful value for both the customer and Recorded Future.
