Director of Sales - Noonlight

Noonlight combines advanced technology with real humans to protect and comfort people so they can live freely.  What began as an app focused on helping people walk safely from point A to point B, has since grown into a connected safety platform.  Noonlight enables modern and affordable 24/7 professional sensor monitoring, video monitoring, false alarm filtering, and data-rich emergency response via a suite of emergency APIs backing some of the smartest home, health, and lifestyle products in the IoT market and commercial security industry.

Furthering our vision of automatic safety, Noonlight recently became part of the Alarm.com family of companies.  Alarm.com is a publicly traded SaaS company with more than $800M in revenue in 2023.  More than 7.6 million home and business owners depend on Alarm.com solutions every day to make their properties safer, smarter, and more efficient.
