  • Acquire and maintain knowledge of the access management industry and emerging competitive landscape

  • Collaborate with the GTM team on sales best practices, key learnings of the industry and trends, and iterations of messaging and sales assets for pipeline generation and management

  • Be a voice for the customer/prospect with internal teams including Sales Engineering/POV team, Product and Marketing to ensure appropriate prioritization

  • Document your results and maintain accurate data across all sales systems

Our ideal candidate

  • 5+ years of quota-carrying field sales experience in a fast-paced and competitive market

  • Consistent track record of landing net new logos

  • Strong track record of meeting and exceeding sales quotas

  • Experience selling complex enterprise software, security and infrastructure management preferred

  • Strong executive presence, listening skills, and experience selling into the C-suite

  • Curious and highly driven self-starter with start-up experience

Majority of the Opal team members work together in our San Francisco office but this role is remote. Visits to hang with the team in office will be welcome and encouraged :)

Research shows that candidates from underrepresented backgrounds rarely apply unless they meet all the job criteria. We aren’t looking for someone who ticks every single box on a page; we’re looking for lifelong learners and people who can make us better with their unique experiences. If you think you’d be a great fit, then please get in touch to tell us about yourself. Opal is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer.
