#LifeAtProofpint as a Middle Enterprise Account Executive

Unlike other SaaS technology products, cybersecurity has become a necessary requirement for companies to safely operate. For that reason, selling our products is a unique and exciting experience. Our winning selling model puts our products in the driver’s seat while you highlight their innovative capabilities through demos and live walk throughs.

Be prepared to “wow” customers during proof-of-concept presentations – a point in the process our Account Executives enjoy most.

 An experienced salesperson who is passionate about “the chase” will thrive in this position at Proofpoint, as the ramp up time can be longer as you establish pipeline and build trust with decision makers like CISOs and other company stakeholders. However, once you build your foundation, the opportunities to sell will skyrocket.

As a new member of our team, you’ll participate in our second to none sales training program designed to educate you on every aspect of our product suite and enable you to achieve your quota.
