SUMMARY

In this role, you will report to the Regional Director of Majors. You will work alongside a team of Wizards dedicated to securing the UK’s most critical public sector infrastructure. Our priority is building a secure foundation for Central Government cloud environments. We do that by deeply understanding the mission of each department. We ask questions. We listen. We help educate.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Demonstrate an intimate understanding of Wiz Cloud Security Solutions and their specific value to UK Central Government departments and agencies.
  • Position and advise to CISO and CDIO-level executives using industry Point-of-View business insights; continue to build and grow trusted-advisor relationships within the Whitehall ecosystem.
  • Develop and close business to consistently meet or exceed quarterly sales quotas, leveraging relevant UK public sector procurement frameworks (e.g., G-Cloud).
  • Align with the Wiz partner ecosystem and Government-focused SIs to optimize market opportunity.
  • Maintain accurate pipeline management with expert-level forecasting.
  • Build effective working relationships with internal teams to ensure strategy alignment and achieve department-specific mission objectives.

  • Familiarity with UK government security classifications and compliance standards (e.g., Cyber Essentials Plus, NCSC guidelines).
  • Ability to build great internal partnerships and navigate complex, multi-stakeholder government environments.
  • A consultative approach to engaging with customers, moving beyond "vendor" status to become a trusted partner in digital transformation.
  • Ability to pivot in a meeting vs. sticking to a script - essential for navigating the nuances of policy and public spend.
  • Experience working in a hypergrowth environment while maintaining the patience and persistence required for government sales cycles.
  • Vetting: Current SC Clearance is highly preferred; at a minimum, candidates must be eligible and willing to undergo the UK Government National Security Vetting process.
