For more than two decades, our unified platform and services have helped organizations protect human and AI-generated code from the first line through runtime, reducing risk across applications, cloud, and the software supply chain without slowing innovation.\nWe’re trusted by 1,600+ customers in 70+ countries, including some of the largest enterprises and governments in the world. Guided by research-led innovation and a developer-first mindset, we help every developer, security team, and enterprise build software that is risk-free by design.\nWHY CHECKMARX\nMarket position. Triple analyst leader: 7X Gartner Leader, Forrester, IDC. When your customer procurement team asks for validation, you have it. \nUncapped Earnings. Top performers earn well above OTE. The territory upside is substantial for someone who executes. \nCompensation Accelerators Kick in Early! \n Product momentum. Developer Assist (GA August 2025) brings real-time AppSec intelligence directly into AI-native IDEs like Cursor, Windsurf, and GitHub Copilot. The agentic AppSec story is real and it's resonating. \nReal territory ownership. You build this region. You own relationships, accounts, and upside. No one will take what you build. \nThe market timing is right. AI-generated code, autonomous agents, and accelerating development velocity are creating AppSec demand that didn't exist two years ago. You're selling into a market that's growing toward you. \nTHE OPPORTUNITY\nThis Canada territory is one of the most significant opportunities we have open.\nTerritory Transparency\nThis territory rewards patience, relationship depth, and a long-term ownership mentality. Year one is about building the foundation. The compounding starts in year two.\nThe territory has two Anchor Accounts:\nOne of the top five global technology companies is a genuine strategic account with substantial multi-year expansion upside; the kind of complex, multi-BU strategic engagement that takes patience and skill to develop but pays off at scale. \nA top five bank in Canada, a large existing account navigating a restructure; the immediate motion is relationship ownership and stability, with expansion access opening over time. \nAdditional territory details:\nCanada (Toronto & Quebec) is an emerging market for Checkmarx with strategic, enterprise and commercial customers in place, early-stage channel relationships to develop, and no ceiling on what a skilled builder can create. \nIncludes existing Checkmarx customers in the US that are subsidiaries of Canadian-headquartered companies, built-in cross-border relationships you can expand from day one. \nThis territory has an immediate pipeline, but the real upside belongs to someone who builds beyond the existing customer base: new logo acquisition, strategic channel development, and the relationships that turn an emerging market into a scaled one. \nWHAT YOU'LL DO\nBuild and own strategic customer base. Develop multi-threaded relationships across a complex, multi-BU enterprise organization. Create and execute a long-term account strategy that unlocks expansion revenue. Relationship ownership and trust-building now. Expansion of motion when the timing is right. \nDevelop the Canadian market. Generate a new logo pipeline in Toronto and Quebec. Grow early-stage channel relationships into real pipeline contributors. You'll build the infrastructure as well as use it. \nOwn the existing account base. Re-engage enterprise customers across the region. Stabilize relationships and lay the groundwork for expansion. \nHunt Net New Customers. Identify and pursue net new enterprise logos in a market where Checkmarx brand awareness is growing. You generate your own pipeline; you do not wait for it. \nTranslate AppSec complexity into business outcomes. False positive noise, AI-generated code risk, supply chain exposure, developer friction. You make these land with CISOs, CTOs, and CFOs as strategic business priorities, not security department problems. \nExecute MEDDIC with discipline. Your pipeline reflects accurate qualification and stage progression. You qualify hard and forecast accurately, including when deals are not ready. \nBuild champions at every level. From CISOs, Head of AppSec, Platform Engineering to Heads of Development. You understand who decides, who influences, and who blocks, and you are building all three simultaneously. \nPartner with Solutions Engineering, Customer Success, and Professional Services. Enterprise deals require a team. You lead the account, coordinate the resources, and own the outcome. \nMaintain clean pipeline data. Your Salesforce reflects territory health, not optimism. Stage progression is evidence-based. \nWHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE\nWe've built the year one targets around what the territory actually supports - not a generic quota that ignores account reality.\nYear 1 Definition of Success\nExisting Customers\nMulti-threaded across 2+ business units\nFirst expansion opportunity in late-stage or closed\nAccount strategy documented and aligned with leadership\nFoundation in place for expansion of conversation\nCanada new logo\n$1M+ qualified pipeline developed\n1 new logo closed or in final stage\n2+ partners actively generating introductions\nPipeline discipline\nMEDDIC-qualified pipeline\nForecast accuracy within 15% of actuals\nBy Q3. Clean Salesforce data \nRequirements\nComplex SaaS enterprise sales experience. 5+ years closing $300K-$1M+ deals with multi-stakeholder buying processes, procurement, and executive sponsorship in the same cycle. \nA proven Pipeline builder. You've developed territory from a limited pipeline before and can point to where and how. \nReal MEDDIC execution. Consistent application across your full pipeline, not selective for use on big deals. Your qualification rigor shows your forecast accuracy. \nChannel development instincts. You know how to develop early-stage partner relationships into pipeline contributors, not just route deals through channel. \nCanadian market familiarity. Preferred. Building in Toronto and Quebec without knowing the market adds months to ramp. \nExecutive presence. You adapt your message for developers, AppSec leads, CISOs, and board-level conversations without losing strategic consistency. \nIntellectual curiosity. You do not need to be an AppSec expert on day one. You need to ask smart diagnostic questions, connect technical reality to business outcomes, and learn fast. Saying 'I don't know - let me find out' builds more credibility than bluffing. \nCoachability. You operate well \nWhat we have to offer\nCompetitive salary: OTE: 280,000 to 350,000 CAD + - flexible for exceptional candidates\nCulture of community and opportunity to work in a growing organization \nRoom for career growth and professional development \nTraining and educational opportunities\nCheckmarx Inc. is an Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity Employer.
