This is a relationship-led role for someone who blends business development instincts with marketing intelligence and who believes that meaningful stories build meaningful businesses.

This position is approximately 70% sales / business development and 30% marketing, focused on unlocking new, higher-value client relationships while helping refine Tripwire’s positioning, messaging, and go-to-market strategy.
