As a key member of the Vectra AI pre-sales team for Latin America, you will work closely with your sales counterparts, prospects, partners, and Vectra AI customers across the region. You will be the primary technical expert for all pre-sales activities with our partners and customers, guiding them throughout the entire sales process all the way to closing the deal (and who doesn’t love closing a deal?!).

- Monitor the market and maintain up-to-date knowledge of Vectra AI’s key competitors.
- Communicate continuously across different areas of the company, ensuring that all key stakeholders are aligned on product capabilities and requirements identified in the field.
- Partner with Product Management and R&D teams to help develop capabilities and features critical to Vectra AI’s success in Latin America and globally.

- Experience managing and working with large enterprise accounts is required.
- Excellent professional fluency in Portuguese, Spanish, and English is required.

- Strong knowledge in networking and ability to understand L3 to L7 OSI layers.
- String written (RFP) and verbal communications (Pre-sales presentations and conferences) are a must.
