As a Trellix high-caliber Majors Account Executive, you will lead and grow a prestigious territory of named accounts across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. In this role, you will act as a strategic architect of security posture for some of the world’s most recognizable Fortune 500 brands.

• A Master Negotiator: You possess a proven track record of managing complex, multi-million dollar deals and navigating the nuances of multi-tiered sales environments.

• Technically Fluent: While you’re a closer, you speak the language of the SOC. You understand networking topologies and can credibly discuss how Trellix integrates into a customer’s existing architecture.

• Relationship-Rich: You bring an established network of contacts in the New York or Boston corridor and a deep understanding of the unique regional market challenges.

• Virtually Native: You are as effective at building rapport via Google Meet as you are in a boardroom.
