Director, Sales

**Company Description** Our Mission**

At Palo Alto Networks® everything starts and ends with our mission:
Being the cybersecurity partner of choice, protecting our digital way of life.

Our vision is a world where each day is safer and more secure than the one before. We are a company built on the foundation of challenging and disrupting the way things are done, and we’re looking for innovators who are as committed to shaping the future of cybersecurity as we are.

**Our Approach to Work**

We lead with flexibility and choice in all of our people programs. We have disrupted the traditional view that all employees have the same needs and wants. We offer personalization and offer our employees the opportunity to choose what works best for them as often as possible - from your wellbeing support to your growth and development, and beyond
**Job Description** Your Career**

You will build and drive your sales team to exceed company objectives while growing your region according to plan. You’ll be responsible for building a high-performance sales culture that delivers results in bookings, sales development and forecast accuracy. Simultaneously, you will mentor and develop your team members to accomplish individual and organisational goals. It will be required that you track sales activity, provide sales projects, and create and analyse metrics.

A challenge inspires you rather than intimidates you, and you aren’t afraid of setting accelerated goals to drive you to succeed. More than that, you are motivated by empowering our clients to meet their cloud security needs and you are driven with an encompassing passion for solutions selling in a hyper-growth environment. You’re not afraid of addressing the critical challenges they are facing within digital transactions, and you thrive on the pressure.
