Role overview

This is a hunter-focused sales role responsible for growing Vectra's footprint in the commercial segment - small to mid-sized organisations (≤ 1000 seats) across Victoria and the broader ANZ market. You will sell Vectra's full portfolio: our consulting and assurance services and the leading independent software vendors (ISV). You will own the full sales cycle from prospecting to close, working with our Sales Development team for pipeline, and with our specialist consultants for scoping, solution design and delivery. You will report to Sales management.

Key responsibilities

New Business Development

  • Win net-new logos in the commercial segment through targeted outbound activity, networking, events, referrals and partner co-selling.
  • Build and execute a territory and account plan covering target verticals, priority accounts and quarterly pipeline coverage.
  • Convert qualified opportunities handed over by the Sales Development team into closed revenue.

Sales Cycle & Commercial Management

  • Manage the full sales cycle: identify, qualify, develop, propose, negotiate and win.
  • Lead discovery conversations to understand client business risk, compliance obligations (e.g. Essential Eight, Privacy Act, ISO 27001) and technology priorities.
  • Prepare proposals, quotes and Statements of Work with our consultants, and structure multi-year and recurring-revenue agreements where appropriate.
  • Transact ISV solutions through the appropriate route to market, including distribution and cloud marketplaces.

Account Growth

  • Develop new clients into long-term relationships, expanding from initial engagements into broader services and solution adoption (land and expand).
  • Maintain regular executive engagement and ensure smooth handover to and from delivery teams.

Vendor & Internal Collaboration

  • Build strong working relationships with ISVs and distributors to source and co-sell opportunities.
  • Work closely with internal consultants and functions to shape solutions and present to clients.
  • Maintain accurate pipeline, forecasting and activity records in CRM and report to Sales management.

What we're looking for

  • 2 - 5 years of B2B new business sales experience in cyber security, IT services, managed services or software, ideally selling into the SMB or mid-market segment.

  • A proven track record of winning new logos and meeting or exceeding revenue targets.

  • Experience selling a mix of professional services and vendor solutions, including project, subscription and recurring revenue.

  • Working knowledge of the security landscape - identity, data protection, cloud security, offensive security, artificial intelligence and risk management - and the ability to explain it in business terms.

  • Familiarity with Australian and international frameworks and obligations such as the Essential Eight, ISO 27001 and the Privacy Act.

  • Resilience, self-motivation and comfort with outbound prospecting in a competitive market.

  • An existing network of IT and business decision-makers in the Melbourne commercial market is highly regarded.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication, presentation and negotiation skills.
