Job Description
I’m an experienced Network and Network Security professional with 11 years in the industry, currently focusing on Fortinet (especially FortiGate) solutions. I’m taking the leap to start my own Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP), and I’m looking for the right person to partner with on this journey. This is a start-up and I am looking for someone who can grow with the company with very less tools at the beginning.

Who I'm Looking For

Someone who’s passionate, motivated, and has a solid background in
IT networking sales and business development
—ideally with experience selling network security solutions to SMBs or mid-sized businesses. You don’t have to be a techie, but you should understand network security well enough to have meaningful conversations with potential clients and close deals.

You’ll be responsible for

Reaching out to potential clients (small businesses, offices, law firms, motels, shops, etc.)
Building relationships and explaining our firewall and security services in a clear, business-friendly way
Generating leads, meeting clients, and closing deals
Helping shape our early client portfolio and revenue stream
What I Bring to the Table:
11 years of hands-on experience in networking and cybersecurity
Strong focus on FortiGate and Fortinet ecosystem
Deep knowledge of security architecture, implementation, and support
Ready to hit the ground running with a vision and technical foundation
What You'd Bring:

If you've ever thought about starting your own MSSP or being part of a business where your sales skills can shine—and you want to team up with someone who can deliver the technical side flawlessly—let’s talk.

Compensation

At this stage, this is a commission-based role
— ideal for someone who’s confident in their sales ability and wants to grow with the business. As we scale, this can evolve into a salaried leadership position with significant long-term potential.
If you’re someone who enjoys being out in the field, talking to business owners, and closing deals — while partnering with a strong technical expert — let’s connect.
Drop me a message, and let’s see if we click. This could be the start of something exciting.
