In this role, you’ll engage directly with Fortune 500 SOC experts, demonstrating Blink’s automation platform, handling technical objections, and highlighting the value of our solutions.

• Lead product demos and POCs tailored to customer needs, showcasing Blink’s integration capabilities with existing SIEM, SOAR, and SOC platforms.
• Use your expertise to address objections from seasoned SOC professionals, demonstrating how Blink enhances their current tools.
• Work with customers to design security automation solutions that meet their needs, informed by your hands-on experience in SOC environments.
• Lead discussions on the role of automation in modernizing SOCs, driving efficiency, and improving threat detection and response.
