  • Accurately forecast, maintaining excellent SFDC hygiene.

  • Significant enterprise software sales experience, generating and closing large & complex software transactions within the Canadian Federal Government and Crown Corps in Ottawa - more specifically the federal public safety portfolio.   
  • *Must live in Ottawa.
     
  • A strong team mentality - selling is a team sport at Tanium, where managing and using virtual resources to tackle large and complex sales cycles is a "must have" skill.
  • Proven track record of exceeding quota.
  • Experience calling on and presenting to C-Suite level contacts.
  • Understanding and familiarity with various procurement vehicles (ie CSPV/SLSA).
  • Strong working knowledge and relationships with Shared Services Canada (SSC).
  • The ability to evangelize and build new business opportunities within an assigned territory and/or accounts (DND, CBSA, CSE, RCMP, CSIS, CSC et al).
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills.
  • Experience in the Cyber Security field would be a major plus
