About the Opportunity:

TENEX is building its inbound and outbound sales engine, and this is a full-cycle seat owning the SMB and midmarket segment end to end. You'll work inbound demand and self-source outbound pipeline, then carry those deals from first touch through close. This is for someone who wants to run their own book, not just pass leads down the line.

What You'll Do:

• Own the full sales cycle. You'll prospect, qualify, demo, negotiate, and close SMB and midmarket accounts end to end.

• Convert inbound demand. You'll work inbound leads quickly and consistently, turning marketing and self-serve interest into qualified opportunities.

• Build outbound pipeline. You'll self-source through targeted cold calls, email, and social outreach to accounts that fit TENEX's ICP.

• Run sharp discovery. You'll uncover each prospect's security gaps and show how TENEX's MDR closes them.

• Manage pipeline and forecast. You'll keep every deal current and forecast accurately in Salesforce.

• Partner across the team. You'll work with sales engineering on technical demos and feed win/loss insight back to marketing.
