COMPANY OVERVIEW
ThreatLocker® is a global cybersecurity company providing enterprise-level endpoint protection solutions that help organizations secure their servers, workstations, and critical infrastructure. The ThreatLocker® platform includes Application Allowlisting, Ringfencing™, Storage Control, Elevation Control, Endpoint Network Control, Configuration Management, and Operational Alert solutions, enabling organizations to adopt a Zero Trust approach that blocks malicious activity before it can execute.
POSITION OVERVIEW
We are seeking an experienced Enterprise Sales Team Lead to lead and develop a team of approximately 8–12 Enterprise Sales Representatives responsible for selling ThreatLocker solutions to large and complex organizations.
The Enterprise Sales Team Lead is responsible for the day-to-day management, coaching, and performance of the enterprise sales team. Sales targets are established by the company, and the Team Lead is responsible for ensuring their team has the strategy, support, discipline, and execution required to achieve those targets.
This is a hands-on sales leadership position. The Enterprise Sales Team Lead will work closely with representatives on strategic accounts and complex opportunities, helping navigate enterprise buying processes, engage senior stakeholders, develop account strategies, progress technical evaluations and POCs, negotiate commercial terms, and ultimately close business.
The successful candidate must understand that enterprise sales requires more than managing pipeline numbers. They will be expected to understand the major opportunities within their team, know the stakeholders involved, identify blockers, challenge deal strategies, and actively help representatives move opportunities forward.

The ideal candidate is an experienced enterprise salesperson who has developed into a strong sales leader. They understand how to navigate complex organizations, build relationships with senior stakeholders, develop champions, manage competition, coordinate technical evaluations, negotiate enterprise agreements, and maintain momentum through long sales cycles.

Their primary responsibility is to make the Enterprise Sales Representatives around them more effective and ultimately drive the team toward the company's enterprise sales objectives.
