Role 

We are looking for an Account Executive to join our team. This is a Hybrid, Mumbai role, reporting to the Regional Sales Director in the Commercial Sales department. You will join a global group of professionals passionate about delighting customers and driving a secure, cloud-enabled digital future as the world leader in cloud security. As a key member of the Sales and Go-to-Market team, you will demonstrate the power and agility of cloud transformation while nurturing trusted partnerships to achieve shared success.

What We’re Looking for (Minimum Qualifications)

  • Foundational understanding of AI/ML technologies and experience leveraging, securing, or positioning AI-driven solutions to optimize outcomes within your functional domain
  • 6+ years of sales experience with a consistent track record of meeting revenue quotas, including 4+ years selling specifically to the commercial segment
