About the role

Are you motivated by creating new customer relationships and closing complex deals? Do you see cybersecurity not only as critical, but as an engaging and evolving domain? Are you comfortable selling advanced services and solutions to senior decision‑makers?

You will engage with a wide range of stakeholders, from CISOs and CIOs to Cyber Security and OT security leaders and play a key role in developing long‑term customer relationships and sustainable growth in the Norwegian market.
