Digital Native Named Account Manager (NAM) 

As a Digital Native Named Account Manager, you will play an integral role in driving new business within fast-growing tech companies, unicorn startups, and cloud-first enterprises. You will hold responsibility for managing complex, high-velocity cloud security architectures, effectively onboarding agile digital native clients, and focusing on expanding existing cloud footprints. This role requires leveraging an extensive network to navigate modern dev-heavy environments, writing comprehensive strategic account plans for cloud migration and multi-cloud security opportunities, and acting as the key trusted advisor between DevOps/SecOps stakeholders and Fortinet’s internal divisions.

Key Digital Native Sales Categories to Manage:

• Hyper-Growth Startups & Unicorns: Managing relationships across rapidly scaling digital companies, focusing on securing continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines and cloud-native applications.
• SaaS & Tech Providers: Navigating highly dynamic cloud environments requiring specialized cloud compliance (SOC2, ISO 27001), strict API validation processes, and robust runtime protection.
• E-Commerce & Digital Marketplaces: Partnering with massive online platforms to protect sensitive customer data, secure API endpoints, and mitigate automated bot threats.
• Gaming & Media Streaming Platforms: Driving the adoption of secure, low-latency cloud infrastructure, content delivery network (CDN) security, and edge protection.

At Fortinet you will:

• Learn and demonstrate a fundamental understanding of Fortinet’s technology—including advanced Cloud Security, CNAPP, SASE, and zero-trust cloud architectures—to articulate our value proposition to digital native decision-makers.
• Develop strong relationships with key stakeholders up to VP R&D, Chief Architects, CISOs, and C-level executives within tech entities to align Fortinet strategies with their agile cloud deployment models.
• Navigate fast-paced technical evaluations, proof-of-concepts (POCs) in cloud environments, and consumption-based cloud marketplace procurement structures (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Sell Fortinet cloud products and services through a consultative, architecture-led selling approach, building long-term engineering and business trust within assigned accounts.
• Research digital native growth metrics, identify key engineering influencers, and systematically track cloud expansion projects to create a predictable pipeline.
• Create and implement strategic, long-term account plans focused on attaining wide-scale deployment of Fortinet’s cloud security portfolio.
• Orchestrate internal company resources, including specialized Cloud System Engineers, Cloud DevSecOps teams, and Channel Partners, to maximize sales volume and deliver tailored cloud solutions.
• Drive regular business reviews with digital native entities to ensure ongoing optimization, ROI on cloud spend, and advanced threat protection from their Fortinet investments.
• Ensure customers are kept up-to-date with Fortinet’s cloud product roadmaps, enabling agile tech bodies to plan their architectural evolution and mitigate cloud-surface risks.

Apply if you:

• Have a proven track record of enterprise sales experience in the hi-tech industry, with a strict focus on Cybersecurity, Cloud Security (AWS/Azure/GCP environments), and Next-Gen Networking.
• Possess deep knowledge of modern cloud procurement, cloud marketplaces, and subscription/consumption-based software sales models.
• Demonstrate a consistent track record of quota over-achievement and career stability, with experience managing complex, technically driven sales cycles.
• Are a highly motivated self-starter with a strong tech-savvy mindset, exceptional attention to detail, and a hunger to secure modern, cloud-native applications.
