Job Summary

As a Major Account Manager (MAM) in Ireland, you are the "quarterback" for our most critical customers. Your primary objective is to act as a strategic partner, deeply understanding the customer’s unique mission and business challenges, and aligning our comprehensive cybersecurity platform to drive successful, secure outcomes.

You will be responsible for a territory with significant "whitespace" potential, where your goal is to move customers away from fragmented point products to a unified security platform across Strata, Cortex, and Prisma Cloud.

Your Impact

Strategy & Planning: Develop and manage an annual territory business plan aligned with PANW’s corporate strategy. You will identify key growth vectors, ecosystem partnerships, and pipeline generation plans.
Platformisation: Drive our core strategy of consolidating customer security postures into a unified platform. You will lead conversations around AI Adoption, positioning our Precision AI capabilities as core differentiators.
Sales Execution: Apply the MEDDPICC framework rigorously to qualify opportunities and ensure alignment with the customer’s buying process.
Executive Engagement: Orchestrate the CXO motion, bringing in PANW leadership to build peer-to-peer relationships with C-suite executives at global organizations headquartered in Ireland.
Ecosystem Orchestration: Collaborate with Channel Partners, GSIs, and internal specialists (SEs, Unit 42) to deliver maximum customer value.

Your Experience

Enterprise Sales Excellence: Proven track record of exceeding quotas in major account sales within the technology or cybersecurity sector.
Strategic Territory Management: Ability to manage high-volume, complex territories, shifting from opportunistic hunting to programmatic, reference-based scaling.
Value-Based Selling: Experience with MEDDPICC or similar sales methodologies to drive complex, multi-stakeholder deal cycles.
Irish Market Knowledge: Deep understanding of the Irish business landscape, including the unique position of G2000 subsidiaries and major indigenous enterprises.
