Built by network experts to make critical insight accessible to every engineer, Kentik is the real-time source of truth that understands every network in context — from data center to cloud to the internet. This single platform unifies and correlates cloud, device, flow, and synthetic data to turn telemetry into action. Market leaders like Akamai, Booking.com, Dropbox, and Zoom rely on Kentik to run, manage, and optimize their networks. We are seeking a driven, results-oriented technical Sales Executive to own and grow the NY Metro territory. The ideal candidate is a proven hunter with demonstrated self-prospecting skills and a strong, established network across key enterprise accounts, alliances, and regional partners. You thrive acquiring new logos and have a track record of successfully growing relationships across small, medium, and large enterprises.

• Must reside within the territory (ideally within the 5 NYC boroughs or Long Island)
• Demonstrated new logo prospecting skills — including identifying target personas, executing multi-channel outreach, and leveraging your network for leads and referrals
• Proven track record of exceeding quota selling SaaS solutions, with experience navigating large, complex, multi-stakeholder transactions
• Strong technical fluency across IP Networking, SaaS, Network Management, Observability, Forensics, and Cloud

• Proficiency with modern revenue tools (Salesforce, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, 6sense, Salesloft, Gong, ZoomInfo, etc.)
• Exceptional organizational skills with the ability to prioritize across accounts, projects, and deadlines

• Ability and willingness to travel on short notice

Responsibilities

• Prospect for new business to rapidly expand territory coverage and build a strong new-logo pipeline

• Partner with marketing to design and execute demand-generation programs and field events that fuel new pipeline
• Stay up-to-date on competitor positioning and industry trends to inform your sales strategy and strengthen customer conversations
