Senior Territory Manager (New York City)

About eSentire:

eSentire is on a mission to hunt, investigate and stop cyber threats before they become business disrupting events. We were founded on the premise that if you can't find a solution, you build it. And today, that means pioneering the future of AI-powered security. At eSentire, we're building a cutting-edge AI Security Operations Platform that will amplify human expertise, not replace it, creating a workplace where innovation meets impact.  

Our culture is based on transparency, teamwork, and continuous innovation, where your ideas can shape how AI and human intelligence work together to outsmart cyber adversaries. As the authority in Managed Detection and Response, we protect the critical data and applications of 2000+ organizations in 80+ countries, across 35 industries—and we're looking for forward-thinking talent to help us define what AI-first security, human-backed trust means for the industry. 

About the Role:

Ready to join a cybersecurity innovator that's redefining what's possible with AI? We're looking for ambitious sales professionals who want to sell innovative technology that solves real-world problems; where AI-powered security meets human-backed trust and expertise to protect growing businesses. If you thrive on building relationships, closing deals, and helping mid-market and small enterprises scale securely in an AI-driven world, this is your opportunity. 

As a Senior Territory Manager, you'll drive revenue and market penetration in the mid-market to small enterprise segment—organizations that are hungry for security that scales with them, not against them. You'll own the full sales cycle: prospecting and qualifying new accounts, building strategic account plans, developing pipeline, forecasting accurately, and growing revenue through new customer acquisition and expansion. Your success depends on positioning eSentire's AI-powered MDR as the competitive advantage that lets resource-constrained security teams punch above their weight. You'll create exceptional customer experiences where every interaction reinforces that we're not just a vendor - we're a strategic partner invested in their growth and security posture. 

We pioneered Managed Detection and Response, and today we're leading the industry's transformation with AI-first security solutions. Our top performers are strategic thinkers who combine consultative selling with technical curiosity. They understand how AI can democratize enterprise-grade security for companies that don't have massive security teams. You'll be selling solutions that let smaller organizations compete with the big players by leveraging AI-powered threat detection and response.
