This role requires candidates who are willing and able to travel as needed.

Purpose of Position

Drive incremental revenue by working with clients and prospects to understand software security, DevSecOps, open-source governance, and supply chain risk challenges.

The role will provide technical leadership across Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), Software Composition Analysis (SCA), AI-assisted vulnerability analysis, Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), and secure software supply chain use cases. It will also work closely with sales, partners, services, product teams, and clients to expand adoption within existing accounts and develop new opportunities in enterprise, financial services, and public-sector markets.

Primary Duties

• Work closely with Client Executives and Sales Solution Executives to support pre-sales activities through business and technical discovery, solution recommendations, competitive positioning, and configuration guidance.

• Explain and demonstrate AI-assisted vulnerability analysis, false-positive reduction, remediation guidance, automated reporting, and developer productivity benefits in a credible and outcome-oriented manner.
• Advise clients on SCA and software supply chain security, including open-source vulnerability and license risk, repository governance, Repository Firewall use cases, and SBOM standards such as CycloneDX and SPDX.
• Research and respond to technical inquiries from clients and prospects, including RFPs, RFIs, RFQs, security questionnaires, architecture reviews, and procurement requirements.
• Position flexible SaaS and on-premises deployment models based on client security, data, operational, and procurement requirements.
• Provide competitive differentiation against global, local, and open-source alternatives and articulate OpenText value based on technical capability, AI differentiation, platform integration, risk reduction, and business outcomes.
• Collaborate with Professional Services, Product Management, Engineering, Technical Support, Marketing, Channel teams, and partners to develop and deliver complete client solutions.
• Enable and support local partners through technical workshops, demonstrations, joint client engagements, knowledge transfer, and repeatable solution assets.
• Build trusted relationships with security leaders, application development leaders, enterprise architects, DevOps teams, procurement stakeholders, and executive sponsors.
• Contribute field feedback, competitive intelligence, client requirements, win/loss insights, repeatable demonstrations, and best practices to OpenText management and product teams.
• Maintain current knowledge of application security technologies, AI-driven security capabilities, DevSecOps practices, SBOM and software supply chain trends, relevant standards, and competitor offerings.
• Serve as the technical liaison among clients, partners, OpenText sales teams, delivery teams, and technical support throughout the opportunity lifecycle.
