What you’ll be doing...

In your role as Security Sales Specialist, you’ll be working closely with our large enterprise customers in EMEA, to keep their systems secure and allow them to identify risks before they become real threats. But you’ll also be doing more than just providing IT security. You’ll help customers protect their business customers, brand, and bottom line.

Responsibilities

• Forging strong customer relationships, with senior business leaders and key influencers.

• Evaluating and identifying vulnerabilities and risks to our customers.

• Aligning tailored solutions to requirements and needs.

• Working closely with our Client Partners, to drive sales opportunities to closure.

• Tracking results and ensuring a high level of customer satisfaction.

• Achieving sales objectives and a security solution sales quota.

What we’re looking for...

Selling and articulating value runs in your DNA. You’re an expert on the latest cyber security concepts and technology, and know how it can bring tangible value to our customers. You thrive in a fast- moving environment and adopt a consultative sales approach to earn you the respect and trust of others.

You’ll need to have:

• Fluency in Swedish and English (written and spoken).

• A Bachelor’s degree or relevant work experience.

• Experience of selling security solutions to large enterprise customers.

• Experience of presenting compelling business cases to senior business leaders.

• Willingness to travel as the role requires (expected to be up to 25% of the time).

Even better if you have one or more of the following:

• A high degree of curiosity, with the ability to effectively probe for customer requirements.

• Experience in leading and inspiring cross-functional teams to pursue sales opportunities.

• Experience in evaluating and documenting technical needs. Ideally, relating to IT security.

• A history of consistently meeting sales objectives and goals.

• Leadership and project management skills.

• Knowledge of data security related legislation, such as GDPR and NIS Directive.

• Knowledge of governance, risk and compliance.

• Strong communication skills

If Verizon and this role sound like a fit for you, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every “even better” qualification listed above.
