Company mission

Tanium's mission is to provide manageability and security at scale for anything with a chip.

Role

Who you are

  • You’ll be equally as comfortable with the CIO, CISO or VP Ops as you would hosting a room of Red Team members; from talking business benefits to bits and bytes
  • The successful DSA drives a superior customer experience by delivering technology solutions tailored to customer needs and is able to exceed their assigned quota
  • Significant enterprise software sales experience, generating and closing large & complex software transactions with the biggest customers in the region
  • A strong team mentality - selling is a team sport at Tanium, where managing and using virtual resources to tackle large and complex sales cycles is a must have skill
  • Proven track record of exceeding quota
  • Experience calling on and presenting to C-Suite level contacts
  • Background building and cultivating relationships with partner ecosystems to bring a partner-centric go-to-market approach to our customers
  • The ability to evangelize and build new business opportunities within an assigned territory and/or accounts
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills

What the job involves

  • As a Director of Strategic Accounts (DSA) on the Tanium field sales team, you will be responsible for generating opportunities to position the Tanium platform within an assigned territory and/or accounts
  • Articulate the value of the Tanium platform to decision makers and expertly manage the complex sales cycle
  • Nurture and develop relationships within the assigned territory and/or accounts, presenting to the C-suite the value of the Tanium platform
  • Work with the Partner and Marketing teams to define and support prospecting and sales efforts within assigned territory and/or accounts
  • Generate appropriate sales development activity to ensure healthy pipeline management
  • Accurately forecast, maintaining excellent SFDC hygiene
  • Conduct online webinars or in-person presentations to generate qualified leads

Our take

For millions of companies, cyber security is high on the agenda, especially as remote working has become the norm. Tanium offers a security and systems management platform that allows real-time data collection at an enterprise scale. It covers customers such as AutoNation, GoDaddy, and Whirlpool who use the company’s software to stay abreast of the ever-increasing level of sophisticated cyber attacks.

A valuable tool for enterprises and government organisations, it partners with leading platforms and service providers across the world like Google Cloud, Oracle and Verizon. In doing so, it allows security and IT teams access to accurate information on the state of endpoints, helping it to realise new levels of business resilience.

Tanium added a former US Defence Secretary to its Board in 2021. A collaboration with Salesforce provided a platform that supports IT service management, remote monitoring and management, and cybersecurity capabilities. In the same year, the appointment of CFO Mark Levine could signal an IPO in the near future.
