Description
About the position
Cybercrime isn’t slowing down, and neither are we. Mimecast protects tens of thousands of organisations from one of the fastest-growing risks in business today: email and collaboration-based attacks. Our Mid-Market team is where sales professionals build a strong book of business quickly.
This is a hunter’s role: you’ll own a patch of Mid-Market accounts, working alongside a dedicated Channel Account Manager (CAM), Solutions Engineer (SE), and BDR, and getting the most from each of them to build pipeline and close new business as part of a fast-paced team. It’s rewarded accordingly: this role comes with a competitive OTE and uncapped commission, so there’s no ceiling on what you can earn.
If you enjoy the chase, want to be measured on results, and like the autonomy of running your territory like your own business, this role is built for you.
This is a remote role. We’re looking for someone with proven experience managing their own time and performing well without close oversight.
