• Experience operating as a product-focused seller or overlay specialist in partnership with core account teams 
• Strong experience engaging senior decision-makers within large, matrixed organizations

• Ability to operate effectively in fast-paced, evolving environments while navigating enterprise-scale processes 
• Familiarity with LinkedIn Sales Navigator, HubSpot, and modern enterprise sales technology stacks 
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence both technical and executive audiences

• Prior startup, scale-up, or post-acquisition integration experience is a plus 
• Strong interest in AI, cybersecurity, and emerging enterprise technologies; knowledge of Generative AI and LLM ecosystems is a strong advantage 

What You'll Get:

• Play a key role in shaping F5’s AI security portfolio following the CalypsoAI acquisition
