About Sweet Security

Sweet Security is one of the fastest-growing companies in AI and cloud security, building a fundamentally different approach to protecting modern applications.

If you're passionate about cloud security, thrive in fast-paced environments, and know how to build trusted customer relationships that turn into long-term value, this is your chance to make a big impact at one of the most exciting start-ups in cybersecurity.

Job Responsibilities

• Drive Territory Growth: Identify, develop, and close new business opportunities within your assigned territory.
• Build Trusted Partnerships: Build and maintain strong relationships with prospective customers, acting as a technical and strategic advisor.

• Proven experience selling in the cloud or cybersecurity domain, specifically within highly competitive markets.
• Technical Sales Acumen: Demonstrated ability to hold technical conversations and manage evaluations involving Security and DevOps teams.

• Sales Process Mastery: Strong understanding of modern B2B sales processes; experience with MEDDPICC or consultative selling is a strong plus.
• Communication: Excellent negotiation and presentation skills, with the ability to engage executive and technical stakeholders effectively.
