Cyber security services business development manager - b2b

Why this role exists

Cybersecurity is no longer a compliance line item. It is a board-level agenda in every industry we serve. Finstein has built the technical credentials to compete for that work. We now need a commercial leader to turn those credentials into a repeatable, growing B2 B pipeline.

You will own new business for Finstein's cybersecurity practice: opening doors, shaping deals with our technical teams, and closing them.
