It’s fun to work in a company where people truly BELIEVE in what they’re doing!

We’re committed to bringing passion and customer focus to the business.

Corporate Overview 

In today’s cyber threat landscape, protection starts with people. At Proofpoint, that simple truth fuels our passion for protecting users, the data they create, and the systems they rely on from a uniquely people-centric perspective. 

And we’re just as passionate about finding the right people to help us in that mission. When you join Proofpoint, you’re helping to: 

  • Build and enhance our proven security platform
  • Blend innovation and speed in a constantly evolving cloud environment
  • Analyze new threats and offer deep insight through data-driven intel
  • Collaborate with customers to help solve their toughest security challenges
  • We are singularly devoted to helping our customers protect their greatest assets and biggest security risk: their people. That’s why we’re a leader in next-generation cybersecurity—and why more than half of the Fortune 100 trust us as a security partner.

The Corporate Sales Team 

Recognized as a stable, world class company with a local feel, the time to join Proofpoint’s Sales Organization has never been better. As the first Cybersecurity SaaS company to reach a billion dollars in revenue, you’ll work alongside your colleagues to sell the best enterprise cybersecurity products on the market that protect our global customer base. 

Our team of Small to Medium Enterprise Account Executives consists of a diverse variety of backgrounds and experiences. We take pride in our inclusive, collaborative yet competitive and driven sales culture, embodied by each of our employees no matter their level or location. You’ll feel inspired as you meet and speak with welcoming team members who have progressed their sales careers at Proofpoint, all who are willing to share their knowledge with new members on the team. 

We’re excited for you to join us as we celebrate our individual and organizational achievements.  

#LifeAtPFPT as a Middle Enterprise Account Executive 

Unlike other SaaS technology products, cybersecurity has become a necessary requirement for companies to safely operate. For that reason, selling our products is a unique and exciting experience. Our winning selling model puts our products in the driver’s seat while you highlight their innovative capabilities through demos and live walk throughs. Be prepared to “wow” customers during proof of concept presentations – a point in the process our Account Executives enjoy most. 

An experienced salesperson who is passionate about “the chase” will thrive in this position at Proofpoint, as the ramp up time can be longer as you establish pipeline and build trust with decision makers like CISOs and other company stakeholders. However, once you build your foundation, the opportunities to sell will skyrocket. 

At Proofpoint, protection starts with people, and we know investing in our employees from Day 1 is key to our success. As a new member of our team, you’ll participate in our second to none sales training program designed to educate you on every aspect of our product suite and enable you to achieve your quota. The support doesn’t end once you’ve completed training; the Channel, SE, Sales Enablement, Marketing Strategic Operations teams will be by your side, ready to partner with you and make deals happen. In addition, you’ll have access to valuable tools and systems such as Salesforce, Outreach, MEDDIC and Seismic.  

Our sales team will ensure you are equipped with the right tools, knowledge and partners to help you excel in your career at Proofpoint!

  • This is a Hybrid position requiring 3 days in the Sunnyvale office
  • 1+ years full lifecycle sales experience generating net new business
