Job summary

What is the role? An exciting opportunity to join a leading vendor in cyber security. A Major Account Manager at DigiCert is a strategic sales role responsible for managing and expanding relationships with our tier 1 and 2 enterprise customers. This position involves understanding the unique needs and requirements of major accounts, building strong customer relationships, and driving revenue growth through upselling, cross-selling, and retention strategies.

What's in it for the successful candidate? This role is ideal for someone looking to continue their career in enterprise sales. You'll have the opportunity to work in complex deal cycles across multiple aspects of an enterprise technology stack. DigiCert usually has a sales conference each year in the US that you'll likely be invited to attend, and we reward our successful sales reps with a President's Club trip at an international location (which changes each year).

What's the team like? At DigiCert we pride ourselves on our collaborative customer-first nature. All team members are willing to help each other and find enjoyment in each other's success.
