About Cohesity

Backed by Accel, Battery and Sequoia.

About the role

Cohesity's Security portfolio turns the backup estate into an active line of cyber defense: FortKnox (immutable, air-gapped cyber vaulting), Threat Defense (AI-powered threat detection), Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), powered by Cyera, Data Classification, and Identity Resilience, built with Semperis. This is a full portfolio, not a single product, and it's the reason the role exists.

What they're looking for

  • A minimum of 5 years selling security, including experience selling to CISO/VP of Security buyers
  • A demonstrated track record generating your own pipeline in complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise accounts
  • Working fluency in the cyber-resilience landscape — ransomware recovery, immutability, identity recovery, DSPM, threat detection — enough to run a business-value conversation, this is consultative selling, not a technical practitioner seat
  • Proven ability to build executive-grade decks and business cases, and comfort operating in a co-sell / specialist model
  • Disciplined CRM and forecasting habits
  • Demonstrated ability to leverage AI tools to enhance productivity, streamline workflows, and support decision making
