Who You Are
You are a highly motivated individual with a genuine passion for cybersecurity. You see cybersecurity not just as a profession but as a mission to safeguard organizations and individuals from cyber threats. In addition to your technical prowess, you possess excellent interpersonal and sales skills that enable you to work collaboratively and build strong relationships with both clients and internal teams. Your sales skills are equally balanced with your technical abilities.
You can discover and understand the business problems that our clients need to solve, and you deliver compelling product demonstrations, manage successful proof of concepts and assist with progressing the sales opportunity to a positive closure.
You will support the company’s English-speaking clients who require English for all their business communications. Additionally, you will also support the company’s Canadian French speaking clients. These individuals require Canadian French for all their business interactions. You will be deeply involved in delivering both sales and technical presentations to these clients. You will also assist your Channel Account Manager with Canadian French/English translations, quoting opportunities and other non-technical sales support activities as needed.
You will also help MSPs understand the requirements and benefits of the WatchGuardONE Channel Partner Program which will help them grow a profitable business using WatchGuard solutions.
Your ability to communicate complex technical information in a clear and relatable manner makes you an invaluable asset in product demonstrations and presentations. You will handle clients’ competitive objections and position how the WatchGuard platform is the best solution for MSSP security.
Your passion for teamwork extends beyond merely cooperating with colleagues; you actively contribute to a positive work environment, where diverse perspectives are valued and creative problem-solving is encouraged.
