Role Summary
We are looking for a high performing Enterprise Account Manager to lead strategic engagements with top enterprise accounts in the Bangalore region. This role demands a strong track record in selling full suite cybersecurity solutions, not just individual components. You’ll own the customer relationship, drive complex consultative sales cycles, and be a trusted advisor to CISOs and CIOs navigating today's threat landscape.

What you will do
  • Drive growth across large, strategic enterprise accounts in Bangalore and surrounding regions.
  • Position end-to-end cybersecurity offerings including MDR, XDR, SOC-as-a-Service, EASM, Zero Trust, and Cloud Security – not limited to point products.
  • Build strong executive relationships with CISOs, CIOs, and security leaders to understand business challenges and drive value-based selling.
  • Lead full sales cycle: from territory planning, demand generation, discovery, solution alignment, commercial closure, to long-term account expansion.
  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders including Sales Engineering, Product Specialists, Marketing, and Channel Partners to deliver integrated solutions.
  • Accurately forecast pipeline and revenue in CRM (e.g., Salesforce).
  • Represent the brand at industry events, customer briefings, and strategic forums.

  • What you will bring
  • 6–10+ years of enterprise cybersecurity sales experience with proven success in large account selling in Bangalore region
  • Experience in selling platform led security solutions, such as MDR/XDR, EDR suites, or integrated cloud/network security, not just point products like antivirus or basic firewalls.
  • Strong understanding of security frameworks and enterprise threat landscape.
  • Familiarity with MEDDPICC or other structured sales methodologies.
  • Deep relationships in enterprise segments across BFSI, IT/ITES, Manufacturing, and Healthcare in Bangalore.
  • Strong executive presence, negotiation skills, and business acumen.
