Own your territory end-to-end.
Build the account plan for France, Italy, Spain and Benelux enterprise accounts (€1B+ revenue).
Segment, prioritize, and execute.
Generate pipeline.
You'll work closely with SDRs and Marketing, but the best reps at Qevlar always run their own outbound motion in parallel.

Run them with MEDDPICC discipline.
Deliver compelling product stories.
Work with Sales Engineers to run demos, POVs and technical validation.
You hold the business case; your SE holds the deep tech.
Co-sell with our channel partners. Orange Cyberdefense, Atos, Almond, Nomios and others are actively selling Qevlar.
You'll turn those relationships into joint pipeline in your region.
Negotiate and close. Six-figure to seven-figure ACVs, multi-year contracts, enterprise security and legal reviews.
You run it cleanly.
Forecast accurately. Weekly pipeline review, clean CRM hygiene (HubSpot), honest calls on commit vs. best case.
Feed the org. Bring field insights back to Product, Marketing and Leadership.
Shape the playbook as we scale.
