Join OpenText and Shape the Future of Enterprise Cyber.

The best Strategic - Solution Sales Executives (SSE) don't just sell software.

They shape industries, influence boardrooms and deliver transformational outcomes for the world's largest organisations.

If you're one of them, we'd like to talk.

At OpenText Cyber, we're investing significantly across Northern Europe, with strategic focus on the UK&I, and we're looking for an exceptional Strategic - SSE to join our high-performing team.

Our Cyber portfolio spans Application Security, Identity & Access Management, Data Security, Threat Detection, Information Protection and AI Governance, enabling customers to modernise securely and confidently.

This isn't another enterprise sales role.

It's an opportunity to own some of the most strategic UK&I accounts and lead transformational Cyber programmes backed by one of the world's largest Information Management companies.

We're looking for a Solution Sales Executive who consistently:

• Consistently wins complex Cyber software opportunities

Working alongside world-class Client Executives, Solution Consultants, Customer Success, Professional Services, Executive Leadership and Alliance Partners, you'll orchestrate complex pursuits from initial engagement through executive sponsorship, commercial negotiation and successful closure.

What You'll Be Responsible For

• Owning and executing strategic account plans across large accounts
• Creating and closing sales opportunities
• Building executive-level relationships across customer organisations
• Leading business outcome conversations focused on Cyber resilience, AI governance, compliance and digital transformation
• Developing executive sponsorship across both customer and OpenText leadership teams
• Maintaining exceptional forecast accuracy and disciplined CRM management
• Building predictable pipeline through structured account planning and opportunity qualification

What Sets You Apart

You have a proven history of winning where others struggle.

You'll likely bring:

• Experience selling Cyber enterprise software
• A consistent record of exceeding quota
• Experience winning complex multi-year enterprise software agreements
• Expertise selling solutions such as Application Security, Identity Security, DevSecOps, Data Security, Information Protection or AI Security
• Excellent strategic account planning and territory management capabilities
• Experience navigating complex procurement and enterprise buying processes
• Success working alongside Global Systems Integrators and strategic alliance partners
• Outstanding executive presence, commercial acumen and negotiation skills

The Mindset We're Looking For

The best Strategic Account Executive who combines commercial excellence with relentless curiosity.

You:

• Take ownership and act with urgency
• Create pipeline rather than wait for opportunities
• Sell business outcomes—not products
• Build trust through authenticity and integrity
• Think strategically while executing relentlessly
• Lead through collaboration across internal teams and partners
• Bring discipline to forecasting, qualification and deal execution
• Constantly raise the bar—for yourself and those around you
