About the Company

We're working with an established UK Managed Service Provider that's continuing to invest heavily in the growth of its Cyber Security division. With a strong customer base, dedicated SDR support and leading vendor partnerships, this is an excellent opportunity to join a business where you'll inherit opportunities while still having the autonomy to win new business.

The Role

You'll be expected to identify and win new cyber security opportunities across an assigned customer base, whilst also generating your own pipeline. This is ideal for someone with a hunter mentality who enjoys opening doors, closing new business and then growing those accounts over time.

  • Manage opportunities from initial engagement through to close
  • Build long-term customer relationships and grow the accounts you win

About You

You'll ideally have:

  • 3+ years' cyber security sales experience
  • MSP, MSSP, VAR or Cyber Security Consultancy background
  • Experience selling a broad portfolio of cyber security solutions
  • A genuine hunter mentality with a proven track record of winning new business
  • Comfortable prospecting and generating your own opportunities, alongside working SDR and vendor-generated leads
  • Strong commercial and relationship-building skills
  • A consultative approach with the ability to identify and grow opportunities

Package

  • Uncapped commission: Earn 20% of the gross profit (GP) generated from the business you win, with no cap on earnings
  • Annual GP target of £200k-£300k (depending on salary level)
  • Hybrid working – 2 days per week in the Reading office
