- Secure net-new OEM logos and expand presence within globally recognized industrial and platform companies

- Support broader EMEA OEM opportunities while maintaining DACH as the primary theatre of operations

Key Responsibilities
- Own and deliver against a multi-million-dollar annual quota tied to net-new logos, design wins, and bookings (multi-year OEM agreements and expansion within existing accounts)
- Identify, recruit, and close new OEM partners across industrial, medical, networking, retail (ATM/POS), infrastructure, and SaaS collaboration ecosystems
- Develop and execute account strategies focused on embedded security adoption within partner products and platforms
- Structure and negotiate complex, multi-year OEM agreements aligned to long-term recurring revenue models

- Able to operate independently and work without a net
- Strong ownership mindset and high forecast discipline
- Comfortable building structure in ambiguous environments
- High tolerance for long-cycle sales (9–18 months)
- Commercial discipline in structuring multi-year agreements tied to bookings and future consumption
What This Role Is Not
