• Proven success in achieving or exceeding sales targets with services-based and recurring revenue models.
• Deep understanding of MSP offerings — including endpoint management, cloud infrastructure, networking, cybersecurity, and backup/DR.
• Strong client-facing communication skills, able to present confidently to both executives and IT stakeholders.
• Proven ability to influence and collaborate with multiple outside sales reps to drive unified account strategy.
• Proficiency in creating solution proposals, SOWs, and industry standard architecture recommendations.
• Highly motivated, results-oriented, and comfortable working autonomously in a fast-paced environment.
• Familiarity with managed service best practices.
• Certifications preferred:
  • CompTIA Network+, Security+
  • Microsoft Certified (e.g., Azure, M365, or Modern Desktop)
  • Bachelor's degree in information technology, Computer Science, Business, or related field
