Responsibilities
- Lead, develop, and retain the East Sales Engineering team across enterprise/commercial and Federal coverage; set expectations, coaching rhythms, and accountability for team performance.

- Hire and onboard Sales Engineering talent, including partnering with recruiting and sales leadership on role definition, candidate evaluation, and team capacity planning.
- Set the quality bar for demonstrations and trials; coach SEs through execution and personally engage in strategic or escalated opportunities rather than routine deal coverage.

- Apply strong Sales Engineering judgment to coach the team on high-priority or complex opportunities, setting a high bar for discovery, technical storytelling, executive communication, and customer engagement.

- Ensure the team delivers effective product demonstrations to technical and non-technical audiences, including communicating the value proposition at an executive level.
- Oversee and support product trials, from planning and installation through helping prospective customers interpret results in the context of their environments.
- Act as an escalation point for pre-sales technical, customer, and team issues; assess risk, coordinate the right internal partners, and escalate appropriately to sales, product, engineering, or executive leadership.
- Create a regular field-feedback loop with Product Management, Engineering, and Product Marketing on recurring blockers, customer requirements, and product opportunities.
- Help prospects navigate security reviews and contracting by coordinating timely, accurate technical responses with relevant internal teams.
- Represent SpecterOps and BloodHound Enterprise in customer meetings, at security conferences, and through external technical content such as blog posts and presentations.
- Build a collaborative, customer-focused team culture that reflects SpecterOps values: passionate curiosity, consistent improvement, empathy, sustainability, humility, and empowerment through transparency.
Requirements
- Experience in Security Sales Engineering, Technical Account Management, consulting, or another technical, customer-facing role in the security industry.
- Demonstrated experience leading, managing, mentoring, or coaching technical customer-facing professionals; experience hiring and developing a team is strongly preferred.
- Ability to partner effectively with regional and sales leadership, balance strategic priorities with field execution, and communicate clearly across technical and business audiences.
- Strong customer-facing presentation and discovery skills, including the ability to explain complex security concepts and value propositions to executive, technical, and non-technical audiences.
- Ability to learn new technologies quickly and stay current with developments in cybersecurity and the broader technology landscape.
- Technical familiarity with scripting languages such as PowerShell or Python and use of REST APIs to solve business problems.
- Ability to complete a criminal background investigation.
- Based in the Eastern United States and able to travel up to 40%.
