Client Director - Cybersecurity Sales

As a Client Director (CD) you'll focus on selling Optiv security services and security technology solutions to a select few strategic accounts (typically less than 10) within the Las Vegas Metro Area.

Members of this cross-functional team will include a Client Solution Architect, Executive Advisory Director, and a Client Operations Specialist. For clarity, the CD will lead this team, although team members will be managed from a human relations perspective by managers within their respective organizations.
