The Middle Enterprise Team
Recognized as a stable, world class company with a local feel, the time to join Proofpoint’s Sales Organization has never been better. This is a Hybrid role sitting out of our Sunnyvale, CA office (3 days a week). 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 Middle 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.

as a Middle Enterprise Account Executive
Unlike other SaaS technology products, cybersecurity has becomea 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, Medic 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!
