Roles & Responsibilities

Requirements / Qualifications

• 10–15 years of experience in enterprise or SaaS sales, preferably in BFSI / fintech / identity tech domains.
• Proven track record in handling both hunting and strategic account management.

• Travel frequently across Africa and the Middle East for customer meetings, ecosystem engagement, and market development.

• Join a company with category-defining AI technology and global enterprise credibility.
• Collaborate with passionate teams solving identity and trust challenges at scale.
• Opportunity to grow into a regional P&L leadership role as the MEA business expands.
