Our take: The real work here is starting conversations with cold accounts, qualifying them through discovery, and turning them into pipeline the sales team can close.

If you light up at the start of the chase, the cold outreach, the first real conversation, the moment a target account turns into a genuine opportunity, this is your arena. You will research accounts, run discovery calls across many buyer types, and build qualified pipeline for the sales team, all while being trained from scratch on the DevSecOps world. It rewards persistence and initiative with clear numbers, real mentoring, and a marked path toward an account executive seat.
