• Drive sales for the complete suite of Equifax Breach Services, including credit and identity monitoring (Equifax Complete™ Premier), 24/7 Level 1 FAQ call center support, digital and physical notification services, and impact verification lookup tools.
• Build customized proposals and pricing models (fixed, redemption, and hybrid) tailored to corporate breach incidents and client specifications.
• Coordinate internal cross-functional support with Finance, Legal, Operations, and Product teams to orchestrate contract execution (Incident Response Services Agreements), deal redlines, and rapid deployment operations.
• Maintain pipeline hygiene, record account activities, and track opportunity updates in Salesforce.
• Maintain flexibility to adapt working schedule and hours as required to support urgent breach events, client requests, and time-sensitive business needs.
• Role requires 10- 15% regional travel

What experience you need

• Bachelor's degree and/or solid, demonstrated track record in B2B sales experience, including:

• Being held accountable to and consistently delivering revenue goals and pipeline development
• Demonstrating a strong passion and drive to learn the cybersecurity and breach response industry landscape
• Demonstrating objection handling in high-urgency, consultative sales environments
• Strong business acumen, financial literacy, and contract negotiation capabilities
• Managing end-to-end sales cycles, pipeline forecasting, and CRM management (Salesforce)
• Developing tailored executive presentations and pitching capabilities to decision-makers, legal counsel, and corporate leadership
• Proven ability and willingness to work flexible schedules outside of core business hours to accommodate urgent client needs and active incident responses.

What could set you apart

• Curiosity and enthusiasm for continuous learning within the Canadian cybersecurity landscape, cyber incident frameworks, and privacy legislation (PIPEDA and provincial standards)
• Hunter Mindset with a track record of B2B business growth and partner ecosystem expansion
• Established network within Canadian cyber law firms, insurance carriers, or forensic technology vendors
• Openness to learn and develop new sales governance techniques
