  • Provide pre-sales support to customers in deploying, configuring and onboarding with Operant, anticipating any technical objections or potential barriers and proactively addressing them
  • Provide post-sales support to top customers to expand usage to new users and use cases that provide value to the customer while building long term relationships with key stakeholders
  • Work with engineering to build and support customer POC/POV solutions when necessary
  • Contribute to relevant content that supports the sales process, including documentation, blog posts, and sales enablement assets
  • Attend conferences and client meetings, serving as a product and brand representative, performing live demos, engaging with prospects, and facilitating implementations within customer environments
  • Write external facing documentation describing product onboarding, key workflows, and APIs
  • Present talks and conduct workshops and activities such as Capture-the-flag exercises for security engineers and practitioners at meetups and conferences
Basic Qualifications:
  • 6+ years of experience in a similar role
  • Experience selling to or working in cloud-native or hybrid environments at Fortune 1000 companies, cybersecurity experience a major plus
  • Significant knowledge of Kubernetes and cloud security with the ability to speak articulately and correctly with knowledgeable people about the problem space and Operant's differentiated solution
  • Comfort with and passion for customer interactions and relationship building
  • Experience performing demos in front of both technical and business focused prospects
  • Familiarity with Go and Kubectl to adapt customer facing applications and code
  • Impeccable written communication skills
  • Experience working in a fast-paced startup environment
  • Proactive and creative in anticipating potential challenges and offering solutions with quick response times and exceptional social and professional judgment in all customer interactions
