Role Overview: Initially, this will be a hybrid role – primarily as the BDM for MSSP Acquisition for EMEA with focus on the acquisition of new MSSP partners in Europe into the Secureworks MSSP Program.
This is an early-entry role into the Program across Europe and therefore the nature of the role is hybrid one split between New Logo Acquisition for MSSP (primary focus – 75%) as well as the development of pipeline with existing and net new MSSP’s (secondary focus – 25%).
On the BDM side, developing a substantial pipeline of prospects (both Global and Regional MSSP’s) will be key to your success; on the CAM side as well as helping MSSP’s develop their own pipeline to drive you will be expected to develop, motivate and coordinate the above activities in close collaboration with the MSSP Program and EMEA Sales Teams.
The role is based in the UK and while the role is remote, the expectation is for the individual to work closely with Sales leadership in the UK and across Europe. Developing close working relationships with the Head of European Sales and supporting leadership as well as the the Head of the MSSP Program will be key – so travel into London will be key in support of that.
