Job Summary
About the Role
Intellicene is looking for a true new-business hunter who is energized by
greenfield opportunity, motivated by uncapped earning potential, and driven to
build business from the ground up.
This is a quota-carrying, 100% net-new business development role with no
inherited book of business, renewals, or existing accounts to manage. Your focus
is simple: identify opportunities, open doors, solve meaningful customer
challenges, and turn prospects into new Intellicene customers.
You will manage the full sales lifecycle from prospecting through close,
positioning Intellicene solutions around customers' mission-critical security
challenges. Rather than trying to sell everything at once, you will identify the
problem that matters most, demonstrate value, win the initial business, and
create an opportunity for the relationship to grow.
You will not be doing it alone. You will have support from our Business
Development team for target-account development and lead generation, Marketing
for campaigns and demand generation, dedicated Sales Engineering resources for
technical expertise, and Executive Leadership for strategic opportunities.
This is an opportunity for a competitive, resourceful seller who wants the
freedom to create opportunities, the support to close them, and uncapped earning
potential for doing it well.
Job Description
Territory & Opportunity
While the Western United States is preferred, we are open to considering strong
candidates throughout the U.S. The role carries hunting rights across the
Americas, providing significant flexibility to pursue net-new opportunities
wherever they exist.
Unlike a traditional Regional Sales Manager position, you will not be limited to
managing an established geographic book of accounts. This is a true
individual-contributor hunter role built around creating new business.
Western greenfield opportunities will naturally be a major focus, but the right
seller will have the freedom to follow opportunities throughout the Americas in
coordination with Sales Leadership.
You will also have significant resources behind you, including Business
Development-generated leads, targeted Marketing campaigns, and dedicated Sales
Engineering support.
What You'll Do
Proactively prospect, develop, and close net-new enterprise customers.
Build and maintain a minimum 5X pipeline against a $1,000,000 annual net-new
bookings quota.
Own the complete sales cycle from initial outreach and discovery through
solution positioning, negotiation, and close.
Identify customers' mission-critical challenges and connect them with focused
Intellicene solutions that create measurable value.
Develop strategic target-account plans and create opportunities within
greenfield markets.
Partner with Business Development on target-account development, outbound
sequences, and lead generation.
Work closely with Marketing on campaigns, industry events, and rapid follow-up
on marketing-generated leads.
Partner with Sales Engineering to develop and demonstrate solutions aligned with
customer needs.
Build relationships with business and technology leaders, including Presidents,
COOs, Security executives, CIOs, and other decision-makers.
Deliver compelling product demonstrations, webinars, and in-person
presentations.
Maintain an accurate, healthy, and well-forecasted pipeline in Salesforce.
Represent Intellicene at industry trade shows, customer meetings, and regional
events.
Travel as needed to develop relationships and advance opportunities, with
approximately 50%+ travel based on business needs.
Consistently meet and exceed revenue targets while helping establish a new
standard for net-new customer acquisition at Intellicene.
What You Bring
3+ years of proven full-cycle sales experience, with demonstrated success
prospecting, creating new opportunities, and closing business.
A documented track record of meeting or exceeding sales quotas.
A genuine hunter mentality - you are energized by creating opportunities rather
than relying on an established book of business.
Strong business acumen and the ability to uncover customer challenges and
translate them into compelling business opportunities.
Excellent prospecting, discovery, negotiation, presentation, and closing skills.
Confidence engaging and building credibility with senior business and technology
leaders.
A self-motivated, resourceful, competitive, and highly accountable approach to
sales.
Strong organizational skills and a systematic approach to territory management,
account planning, and pipeline development.
Ability to work effectively across Business Development, Marketing, Sales
Engineering, and Executive Leadership.
Proficiency with Salesforce or a comparable CRM.
Comfort leveraging AI-enabled tools to improve research, prospecting,
preparation, and sales productivity.
Willingness and ability to travel approximately 50%+ based on business needs,
sometimes on short notice.
Valid driver's license and ability to travel throughout the Americas.
Bachelor's degree or equivalent relevant professional experience.
What Would Make You Stand Out
Experience selling physical security software, security technology, enterprise
software, or other mission-critical solutions is highly valued, but it is not
required for the right salesperson.
We are particularly interested in people who have demonstrated that they can
create business where none existed before. Experience working with security
integrators, distributors, resellers, enterprise customers, or Fortune 1000
organizations is a plus.
More important than having spent your entire career in the security industry is
your ability to learn quickly, be coached, understand a customer's business
problem, and confidently create a path to a sale.
Compensation
This role is intentionally designed to reward strong new-business performance
and provide significant upside for overachievement.

What Success Looks Like
You thrive when there is not an established playbook or inherited account list
waiting for you. You see greenfield territory as an opportunity.
You are curious enough to research a prospect before reaching out, commercially
minded enough to identify the mission-critical challenge that matters to them,
and creative enough to build a compelling use case around it.
You are competitive and persistent, but also coachable. You take ownership of
your pipeline, follow opportunities wherever they lead, and know when to bring
in technical or executive resources to help move a deal forward.
Most importantly, you want to win new customers and build something - and you
want your earnings to reflect the results you deliver.
