• You help your team navigate change by setting context, explaining the “why,” and keeping people focused on what they can control
• You notice gaps in process or coverage and bring practical ideas for how to improve them
• You’re comfortable joining a company and team that are still scaling: some things are defined, others you’ll help design
• You can move forward with incomplete information, adjust as new data comes in, and communicate those changes to your team
• Genuine interest in cybersecurity and offensive security, and the ability to learn and explain technical concepts in straightforward language
• 2–4 years of frontline sales management, leading SMB/Commercial AE or similar high-velocity teams

• Strong coaching and people-development skills:

• Experience designing or refining outbound programs and campaign-based motions that drive net-new pipeline
• High initiative and follow-through; you don’t need a fully built playbook to start making progress and you close the loop on what you commit to
• A data-informed approach to pipeline management, forecasting, and productivity, using numbers to support decisions rather than drive everything
• Comfort working closely with the Director, Commercial Sales and acting as an extension of her leadership style, reinforcing shared standards and expectations within the Commercial/SMB pod
• Formal coaching or leadership training/certifications
• Experience building or significantly reshaping a BDR or commercial function (process, playbooks, hiring profiles, metrics)
• Deeper exposure to offensive security, penetration testing platforms, red/purple teaming, or security automation
• Experience at a high-growth SaaS or cloud provider, especially in commercial/SMB segments
