**Our Mission**

At Palo Alto Networks® everything starts and ends with our mission:
Being the cybersecurity partner of choice, protecting our digital way of life.

Our vision is a world where each day is safer and more secure than the one before. We are a company built on the foundation of challenging and disrupting the way things are done, and we’re looking for innovators who are as committed to shaping the future of cybersecurity as we are.

**Our Approach to Work**

We lead with flexibility and choice in all of our people programs. We have disrupted the traditional view that all employees have the same needs and wants. We offer personalization and offer our employees the opportunity to choose what works best for them as often as possible - from your wellbeing support to your growth and development, and beyond

It will be required that you track & manage sales activity, be an active seller yourself acting a facilitator and/or executive sponsor for key deals/opportunities and create and analyze sales metrics which will help steer your business to a success.

- Attend weekly regional forecast and management calls to provide Inside Sales perspective
- Build a cohesive sales & business plan outlining the roadmap to success and define measurable goals enabling you to measure progress
- Work closely with other District Sales Managers on crafting business strategy to accomplish company goals
- Required to stay knowledgeable and up-to-date on product roadmap, industry changes, and competitive landscapes

**Qualifications** Your Experience**
- Proven track record of individual sales success and strong sales management, together at a min of 15+ years - Preferably experience handling quotas carrying sales team
