The Profile of a Regional Sales Director As a Regional Sales Director at Tenex, you will be responsible for driving revenue growth by identifying, engaging, and closing new business opportunities. You will play a crucial role in expanding our customer base and helping organizations strengthen their cybersecurity defenses with Tenex’s cutting-edge MDR solutions. As a player-coach, you will also lead a pod of Enterprise Sales Directors, coaching them, owning their forecast, and making deal decisions so the team moves faster while you carry your own quota. - A professional who wants to gain valuable experience in a startup environment, working alongside a team of deeply passionate security professionals with a desire to make a real impact in the industry. - A professional who is genuinely committed to improving the information security posture of companies through delivery of cutting edge AI MDR solutions. - A professional that will possess the aptitude to communicate effectively with both business and technical stakeholders regarding the specifics of the TENEX offerings is essential. While an engineering background is not a prerequisite, a comprehensive understanding of the solutions is necessary. - A professional that leads with humility but carries a set of professional values and gravitas that challenges the status quo of client environments. - A professional that conveys empathy and has a desire to give good the advantage. What You Will Do - Sell. Carry a quota and keep your own pipeline creation at or above 90% of baseline. - Lead the pod.

Run a weekly 1:1 with every ESD and deliver at least 90% of scheduled coaching sessions. - Forecast. Own the pod pipeline review and the roll-up forecast. Report personal and pod pipeline separately. - Support deals, not take them. Join reps' opportunities as the secondary. The rep stays the owner. - Co-sell with partners.

Resolve account-ownership disputes with RevOps inside five days. - Build the team. Onboard new ESDs and help hire open pod seats, including the future BDR. What You Bring - 8+ years of enterprise B2B sales, with a consistent record of attaining a $1M+ ARR quota. - Experience selling security: MDR, SOC, SIEM, or cloud security (CNAPP). - Frontline leadership or player-coach experience: coaching, forecasting, and deal inspection for a small team. - Co-selling with hyperscalers and partners, ideally Google Cloud Security and Wiz. - Comfort running a full personal cycle while managing a team's pipeline in the same week. - Clear written forecasting and a habit of making decisions instead of escalating them.
