What You’ll Do

Join us as an Account Executive in our Global Security Sales Organization!
You are a highly motivated, entrepreneurial-minded sales professional with a curiosity about cybersecurity and strive to improve security resiliency in our customers and communities. As part of your DNA, you are a self-starter with a learning and competitive attitude. Cisco Account Executives are creative challengers with the ability to build strong executive and internal relationships through planning and accountability. You’ll seek for opportunities to position Cisco’s end-to-end security portfolio, as well as cross-sell with all Cisco solutions, to help customers and partners get the most security value. In close cooperation with account owners (sales managers and system engineers covering entire Cisco portfolio) you will:

Develop and lead security account plans and strategies for each assigned account or market segment, using all available resources (executive sponsors, marketing, technical, services, Cisco on Cisco, etc.)
Drive double-digit revenue growth through new project identification, creation, and attach opportunities
Forecast and report steps accurately in line with expectations using Sales Force.com and other available tools in Cisco
Identify major projects within the largest accounts and lead activities to improve product and service revenue across the account base
Provide customers and partners with pricing and configurations to meet their needs as required
Forge high-level relationships within critical strategic accounts to win incremental product and service business
Partner closely with technical resources to ensure technical excellence in all positioning, competitive analysis, proposals, and exchanges
Team with the Cisco Channel organization and authorized channel partners on new and current sales opportunities, demonstrating their capabilities where appropriate.

Who You’ll Work With
Empowering the world to reach its full potential, securely - that’s our vision. We do this by providing effective security solutions and becoming our customers' most trusted partner. With Cisco Security, if it’s connected - it’s protected. Our outstanding sales team is motivated by a passion for keeping customers secure in a world of evolving cyber threats. Let's build the future of networking and security together!
Who You Are
You will be responsible for all sales of Cisco Security solutions and services. You will forge and grow new relationships within the customer and partner base via both direct and indirect touch to drive significant revenue growth while ensuring internal alignment. You have a confirmed and quantifiable record of over-achievement. You can lead large deals and implement account and partner plans across assigned territories. You can build and complete an account plan that incorporates a total systems-based security approach.
You are adept at addressing a largely technical audience and have experience applying solution-selling methodologies to increase corporate revenue growth. You also have a successful track record of closing both tactical and strategic opportunities.
Minimum qualifications include:

5 years of overall experience in IT, with at least 3 years positioning security solutions
Direct touch approach, combined with experience working in a matrixed organization, and/or with business partners to improve results
A good all-round knowledge of the security market
Fluency in English and German
Ability to travel is required

Preferred qualifications:

BS in Electrical Engineering or IT or equivalent is highly preferred
Excellent interpersonal, communication, and presentation skills
Strategic planning with the ability to succeed in a dynamic environment
Experience in selling NGFW/XDR/NDR/EDR, MFA, Email or Web/DNS-security solutions, either on-prem or Saa S
High level of attention to detail, able to demonstrate competence in building and driving a large geographic plan across multiple accounts

Why Cisco?
#We Are Cisco. We are all unique, but collectively we bring our talents to work as a team, to develop innovative technology and power a more inclusive, digital future for everyone. How do we do it? Well, for starters - with people like you!
Nearly every internet connection around the world touches Cisco. We’re the Internet’s optimists. Our technology makes sure the data traveling at light speed across connections does so securely, yet it’s not what we make but what we make happen which marks us out. We’re helping those who work in the health service to connect with patients and each other; schools, colleges, and universities to teach in even the most challenging of times. We’re helping businesses of all shapes and sizes to connect with their employees and customers in new ways, providing people with access to the digital skills they need and connecting the most remote parts of the world - whether through 5G, or otherwise.
We tackle whatever challenges come our way. We have each other’s backs, we recognize our accomplishments, and we grow together. We celebrate and support one another - from big and small things in life to big career moments. And giving back is in our DNA (we get 10 days off each year to do just that).
We know that powering an inclusive future starts with us. Because without diversity and a dedication to equality, there is no moving forward. Our 30 Inclusive Communities, that bring people together around commonalities or passions, are leading the way. Together we’re committed to learning, listening, caring for our communities, whilst supporting the most vulnerable with a collective effort to make this world a better place either with technology, or through our actions.

Message to applicants applying to work in the U.S. and/or Canada:

When available, the salary range posted for this position reflects the projected hiring range for new hire, full-time salaries in U.S. and/or Canada locations, not including equity or benefits. For non-sales roles the hiring ranges reflect base salary only; employees are also eligible to receive annual bonuses. Hiring ranges for sales positions include base and incentive compensation target. Individual pay is determined by the candidate's hiring location and additional factors, including but not limited to skillset, experience, and relevant education, certifications, or training. Applicants may not be eligible for the full salary range based on their U.S. or Canada hiring location. The recruiter can share more details about compensation for the role in your location during the hiring process.

U.S. employees have access to quality medical, dental and vision insurance, a 401(k) plan with a Cisco matching contribution, short and long-term disability coverage, basic life insurance and numerous wellbeing offerings. Employees receive up to twelve paid holidays per calendar year, which includes one floating holiday, plus a day off for their birthday. Employees accrue up to 20 days of Paid Time Off (PTO) each year and have access to paid time away to deal with critical or emergency issues without tapping into their PTO. We offer additional paid time to volunteer and give back to the community. Employees are also able to purchase company stock through our Employee Stock Purchase Program.
Employees on sales plans earn performance-based incentive pay on top of their base salary, which is split between quota and non-quota components. For quota-based incentive pay, Cisco typically pays as follows:
.75% of incentive target for each 1% of revenue attainment up to 50% of quota;
1.5% of incentive target for each 1% of attainment between 50% and 75%;
1% of incentive target for each 1% of attainment between 75% and 100%; and once performance exceeds 100% attainment, incentive rates are at or above 1% for each 1% of attainment with no cap on incentive compensation.
For non-quota-based sales performance elements such as strategic sales objectives, Cisco may pay up to 125% of target. Cisco sales plans do not have a minimum threshold of performance for sales incentive compensation to be paid.
