  • Build executive relationships: Engage CISOs and VP-level security leaders at prospects, customers and channel partners while helping the team multi-thread across security, data/platform, procurement, and executive stakeholders.
  • Create pipeline: Establish a strong field culture centered on proactive pipeline generation, strategic account planning, and disciplined territory execution.
  • Maintain forecast discipline: Run pipeline reviews, deal inspections, and forecasting with a high level of accuracy and accountability.
  • Leverage the channel: Partner with Vega’s Channel organization and strategic partners to create pipeline, access decision-makers, and accelerate enterprise opportunities.
  • Partner cross-functionally: Work closely with Sales Engineering, Marketing, Product, Customer Success, and leadership to remove obstacles and improve execution.
  • Represent Vega in the market: Build Vega’s presence across the West through customer meetings, executive briefings, partner engagements, and industry events.

What You Will Bring

  • 10+ years of enterprise, quota-carrying sales experience in cybersecurity or enterprise software, with increasing levels of responsibility.
  • 2+ years leading enterprise sales teams as a first-line leader, including hiring, coaching, and developing high-performing reps.
  • Demonstrated success selling into large, complex enterprises with six- and seven-figure deal sizes.
  • Strong track record of building and executing strategic account plans and closing multi-year agreements.
  • Deep understanding of modern security architectures, including SIEM, XDR, security data lakes, and cloud-scale analytics.
  • Ability to engage credibly with CISOs, VP-level security leaders, and executive sponsors.
  • Experience leveraging channel partners to penetrate and expand large enterprise accounts.
  • Exceptional communication, negotiation skills, and executive presence.
  • Strong command of enterprise forecasting rigor.
  • Willingness to travel regionally for executive meetings, partner engagement, and key customer moments.

Nice to Have

  • Experience selling cloud-based data solutions and/or familiarity with cloud data architectures and data pipelines.
  • Existing relationships with Fortune 1000 security leaders and enterprise partner organizations across the Western U.S.
  • Experience displacing or augmenting legacy SIEM platforms at scale.
