Ensure partners receive timely product and MSP/MSSP model updates for each relevant product area, and work with internal teams to build service offerings and develop launch content with partners.

Drive program management and governance for service offering launches.

Evangelize partner service offerings and bring the voice of the partner back into SentinelOne's sales organization.

Prepare and deliver accurate weekly forecasts of MSP/MSSP revenue for your assigned territory.

Stay aligned with local teams on forecasting, enablement, and launch of newly created solutions with your partners.

What skills will you bring

BS technical degree or equivalent.

5+ years of above-quota sales experience, preferably as a Regional Sales Executive/Manager selling security solutions across endpoint, identity, data, and cloud.

Deep knowledge of current security solutions.

Strong written and verbal communication and presentation skills, with the ability to engage a variety of technical and business leaders internally and externally.
