What Are We Looking For?

We’re looking for people who are relentlessly curious and committed to continuous learning. AI is reshaping every function across our business, and we enable every team member, regardless of role or level, to build fluency in AI tools and concepts. Those who thrive here actively seek out new solutions, experiment thoughtfully, and apply what they learn to drive better, faster, smarter outcomes.

As a Principal Account Executive, Commercial at SentinelOne, you own our largest and most strategic accounts in the segment. You bring a proven track record in cybersecurity sales and you operate as a leader without the title. You model collaboration, proactivity, and organization, you see the big picture, and you take it in stride.

You have demonstrated your ability to close significant deals, $100K+ ACV, leading from the front and consistently exceeding quota. You have already mastered commercial territory management. Your experience, reliability, product knowledge, and ability to make the people around you better are what make you valuable to this team.

This role will likely cover a West Coast or Mountain territory. Qualified candidates should be based in, or willing to relocate to, this region.

What Will You Do?

Primary responsibilities include:

• Own full sales cycles across a geographically defined territory: prospecting, qualifying, presenting, negotiating, and closing.
• Build and execute a territory plan that evolves through the year and drives where your activity and focus go, with an emphasis on net-new logo acquisition and platform expansion in existing accounts.
• Run the extended account team. Pull in Sales Engineering, Channel, Customer Success, overlays, and leadership at the right moment rather than at the last minute.
• Work directly with prospects and customers at the executive level, holding equal business stature with C-level buyers.
• Develop and use deep partner relationships to build pipeline and shorten cycles.
• Forecast to within 5% of your initial call, with an accurate weekly commit, key deals broken out in Clari by quarter and month, and no hidden deals.
• Build and present your own decks and pricing, internally, to prospects, and at events.
• Coach and raise the level of your peers within the bounds of an individual contributor role. You are the role model on the team.
• Stay current on cybersecurity threats, competitor positioning, and the SentinelOne platform.
• Represent SentinelOne at industry events, conferences, partner offices, and field marketing in your region.

What Skills and Knowledge Will You Bring?

Ideal candidates will have:

• 5 to 7 years of successful sales performance at SentinelOne or a comparable or more complex cybersecurity company, with a record of hitting and over-achieving quota.
• Proven prospecting and hunting ability, with direct experience building out a commercial territory of large accounts.
• Consistent closure of $100K+ ACV deals.
• Strong industry experience and command of the SentinelOne platform and product suite. You should be able to walk through and teach the platform with ease.
• Deep channel experience: you know how to navigate partners and you have the relationships to prove it.
• Mastery of MEDDPICC or an equivalent qualification methodology. You structure calls around what you heard, the problem you are solving, and the proposed solution.
• Proven ability to convert intent into result through deliberate action. You prepare for every engagement, respond quickly, and do what you said you would do.
• Open to direct feedback and quick to act on it. You are aware of what is happening around you and adjust without being asked.
• Professional, driven, collaborative, and honest. You look out for your peers.
• Proficiency with Salesforce, Clari, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Outreach, and Actively.ai
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
