## 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
