You’ll serve as a trusted advisor to technology and security leaders, shaping solutions that deliver meaningful and lasting impact. 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: 

Account Lead 

  • Build and grow trusted-advisor relationships with security, risk, and technology leaders by deeply understanding their challenges, priorities, and desired outcomes. 
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for existing clients—overseeing post-sale delivery, addressing escalations, and ensuring engagements stay aligned to client expectations and business outcomes. 
  • Maintain a deep understanding of each client’s environment, roadmap, and evolving risks, using that insight to guide strategic conversations and strengthen long-term partnerships. 
  • Lead account-based planning and growth strategies (GTM efforts) for at least one strategic Kalles Group client, including account plans, relationship mapping, and identification of strategic targets. 
  • Drive account expansion by uncovering emerging needs across security, risk, digital, and people services—proactively shaping follow-on engagements that deliver measurable value. 

Sales & Market Engagement 

  • Lead consultative sales cycles for cybersecurity, risk, and technology-transformation services—scoping opportunities, shaping solutions with delivery leaders, and clearly articulating value and business impact. 
  • Prospect, develop, and manage a healthy pipeline by engaging existing clients, nurturing your executive networks, qualifying inbound leads, and advancing opportunities across enterprise and high-growth accounts. 
  • Consistently engage the market—holding frequent conversations with clients, prospects, partners, and network contacts to build pipeline, maintain visibility, and surface new opportunities. 
  • Represent Kalles Group’s capabilities in the market through client conversations, events, strategic outreach, and thought leadership—positioning KG as a trusted partner for secure, modern, and resilient operations. 

Delivery Partnership & Operational Excellence 

  • Partner closely with delivery and practice leaders to shape engagements, ensure seamless hand-offs, and maintain exceptional client experience throughout the engagement lifecycle. 
  • Maintain strong operational rigor—including accurate CRM hygiene, reliable forecasting, deal stage management, meeting and intelligence logging, and timely follow-up with clients and internal teams. 
  • Regularly sync with delivery and practice leaders on active engagements, consultant needs, staffing considerations, and client sentiment—ensuring you stay ahead of risks and opportunities. 
  • Manage core professional services operations for your accounts, including revenue forecasting, budget awareness, invoicing coordination, timekeeping accuracy, and supporting financial workflows as needed. 
  • Drive a Quarterly and Monthly Business Reviews (QBRs/MBRs) value review cadence with key sponsors and stakeholders of active projects to maintain alignment, communicate value, and uncover additional opportunities. 
  • Maintain visibility into project renewal timelines and expansion windows, ensuring timely planning and proactive engagement. 

ABOUT YOU: 

Your values 

  • Integrity: You believe in doing the right thing, even when it's uncomfortable, seemingly inefficient, or costly. 
  • Purposefulness: You have a desire to serve others with your skillset and an openness to continuous learning and growth. 
  • Ownership: You stick to your commitments, follow up with action, and seek clarity in communication & expectations. 

 

Your Experience 

  • 4+ years of proven experience selling cybersecurity or IT transformation solutions to enterprise or mid-market clients. 
  • Experience with consultative, value-based selling in professional services or a similar environment. 
  • Demonstrated success navigating enterprise, multi-stakeholder buying cycles and building senior-level relationships with technology and security leaders. 
  • Track record of cultivating long-term client relationships, acting as a trusted advisor, and collaborating across teams to deliver customer success. 
  • Strength in core sales operations—pipeline management, stakeholder mapping, solution/value articulation, and effective hand-offs to delivery teams.

  • A strong and actively nurtured PNW network of technology decision-makers, and energy for continually expanding this network. 
  • Power-user fluency with modern sales platforms (e.g., LinkedIn Sales Navigator, HubSpot, Apollo or equivalents). 
  • Experience working in small, growing, or transforming organizations—you’re comfortable setting structure, working through ambiguity, and hitting goals amidst change. 
  • Strong storyteller and communicator—both verbally and in writing. 
  • Comfortable leading through ambiguous or complex goals to establish clarity, develop plans, and drive execution. 
  • Detail-oriented, punctual, and consistent in your follow-up—you understand how much precision (spelling, formatting, timeliness) matters in a client-driven business. 
  • Flexible and collaborative: while your primary responsibility is developing new business and expanding existing accounts, you’re willing to support broader company priorities and wear multiple hats when needed. 
  • Known for building relationships—not necessarily as the loudest voice, but as someone who cultivates community, understands people, and connects opportunities with needs.
