Form of workAbout the Role:
CrowdStrike LogScale is changing the way people think about log management and systems observability, empowering DevOps, ITOps, Security, and more. Today it is transforming how CrowdStrike’s Falcon stores and searches data and now empowers our Next Gen SIEM. That’s why we’re not just looking for candidates with impressive resumes; we’re seeking pioneers. We’re on a quest to enrich our team with individuals who bring more than just expertise - we want trailblazers who have navigated the realms we’re venturing into. Your experience in the SIEM field won't just be valued; it will be the cornerstone of our journey towards innovation. At the core of this is our people. It’s important to inspire, support, and enable one another, so we've chosen a diverse group of talented, compassionate, and fun people to work with. The work is challenging but also allows for great flexibility to prioritize off-work commitments. We’ve found this to be the perfect mix for us. If you see yourself as a great match, we’d love nothing more than for you to join us at the forefront of innovation as our new Global Sales Engineering Director for our Next-Gen SIEM team!
What You'll Do:
As a Sales Engineering Director, you’ll support multiple teams of SEs operating as the face of LogScale and NG-SIEM for prospective customers. Working alongside our sales team, you’ll take ownership of the technical relationship through the sales cycle.
You’ll also maintain that relationship with the customer as they discover what LogScale and NG-SIEM can do for them, expand their use, and provide feedback to our Product Management team.
You’ll become a trusted advisor by providing technical value in your interactions with prospective customers, answering technical questions, demonstrating capabilities, and laying out a technical vision of LogScale and NG-SIEM. In addition, you are expected to act as a LogScale subject matter expert, assisting with internal enablement on related platforms such as Falcon Search Repository.
You’ll be working closely with the teams in sales, leadership, marketing, support, customer success, and engineering. In particular, you’ll be a critical part of the sales team; providing feedback on deal progress, uncovering the wants and needs of prospects, and translating that to tangible value from the LogScale and NG-SIEM platforms, ultimately bringing more customers to CrowdStrike.
In addition to guiding prospective customers through their discovery of LogScale and NG-SIEM, you’ll also play an integral part in defining and executing on our go-to-market strategy - exploring new use cases, integrations, partnerships, etc. In other words, your success in this role will have a significant impact on the expansion of LogScale worldwide.
Ensure effective technical field sales coverage for assigned sales theater account base.

You’ll also do great in this role if your experience includes distributed data stores, data shipping services, cloud providers, SSO concepts, and container orchestration such as Kubernetes.
