It's fun to work in a company where people truly BELIEVE in what they're doing!

　　We're committed to bringing passion and customer focus to the business.

　　Corporate Overview

　　Proofpoint is a leading cybersecurity company protecting organizations’ greatest assets and biggest risks: vulnerabilities in people. With an integrated suite of cloud-based solutions, Proofpoint helps companies around the world stop targeted threats, safeguard their data, and make their users more resilient against cyber attacks. Leading organizations of all sizes, including more than half of the Fortune 1000, rely on Proofpoint for people-centric security and compliance solutions mitigating their most critical risks across email, the cloud, social media, and the web.

　　We are singularly devoted to helping our customers protect their greatest assets and biggest security risk: their people. That’s why we’re a leader in next-generation cybersecurity.

　　The Middle Enterprise Team

　　Recognized as a stable, world class company with a local feel, the time to join Proofpoint’s Sales Organization has never been better. As the first Cybersecurity SaaS company to reach a billion dollars in revenue, you’ll work alongside your colleagues to sell the best enterprise cybersecurity products on the market that protect our global customer base.

　　Our team of Middle Enterprise Account Executives consists of a diverse variety of backgrounds and experiences. We take pride in our inclusive, collaborative yet competitive and driven sales culture, embodied by each of our employees no matter their level or location.

　　#LifeAtPFPT as a Middle Enterprise Account Executive

　　Unlike other SaaS technology products, cybersecurity has become a necessary requirement for companies to safely operate. For that reason, selling our products is a unique and exciting experience. Our winning selling model puts our products in the driver’s seat while you highlight their innovative capabilities through demos and live walk throughs. Be prepared to “wow” customers during proof of concept presentations – a point in the process our Account Executives enjoy most.

　　An experienced salesperson who is passionate about “the chase” will thrive in this position at Proofpoint, as the ramp up time can be longer as you establish pipeline and build trust with decision makers like CISOs and other company stakeholders. However, once you build your foundation, the opportunities to sell will skyrocket.

　　At Proofpoint, protection starts with people, and we know investing in our employees from Day 1 is key to our success. As a new member of our team, you’ll participate in our second to none sales training program designed to educate you on every aspect of our product suite and enable you to achieve your quota. The support doesn’t end once you’ve completed training; the Channel, SE, Sales Enablement, Marketing Strategic Operations teams will be by your side, ready to partner with you and make deals happen.
