Job Summary
As an Enterprise Sales Director, you will be one of three senior individual contributors responsible for the DACH region, with ownership of a defined portfolio of enterprise accounts. This is an individual contributor role and does not include people-management
responsibilities.
You will develop and execute focused account plans, establish executive relationships, generate and convert pipeline, and build strategic opportunities capable of navigating technical evaluation, formal procurement, and complex decision-making cycles. You will engage with CISOs, CIOs, PKI and security architects, procurement leaders, partners, and other key stakeholders to connect technical
requirements with operational risk and measurable business value.
You will collaborate closely with the other DACH sales representatives and cross-functional partners across Sales Engineering, Sales Development, Marketing, Channel, and Delivery. While you will have substantial support, you will maintain direct accountability for opportunity momentum, qualification, forecast accuracy, commercial strategy, and results across your assigned accounts.
