This role is ideal for someone who thrives in high-velocity environments, can simplify complex security concepts, and enjoys building trusted relationships with customers.

• Deliver tailored demos and PoVs
• Run compelling, outcome-driven demos and proof-of-value engagements that clearly connect NodeZero’s capabilities to customer risk reduction and business impact.
• Maintain continuity through the customer lifecycle
• Stay connected with key accounts to track evolving needs, ensure continued value realization, and surface expansion opportunities where it makes sense to.
• Translate technical depth into business value
• Help customers understand not just how the platform works, but why it matters—framing results in terms of exposure reduction, compliance alignment, and operational efficiency.
• Own technical deal strategy
• Navigate objections, competitive positioning, and technical concerns throughout the sales cycle.
• Collaborate cross-functionally
• Partner with Product, Engineering, Customer Success, and Product Marketing to ensure field feedback informs roadmap and positioning.
• Support enablement and knowledge sharing
• Contribute to internal knowledge sharing and continuously refine demo flows, technical assets, and playbooks for the Mid-Market segment.
