Director, Client Partner, Cybersecurity

EPAM is seeking a senior Client Director to join our Cybersecurity practice in North America. This is a strategic, individual contributor sales role designed for seasoned security professionals who have transitioned from practitioner work into senior client engagement. You will operate as a trusted advisor and sales leader at the C-suite level, driving growth within existing EPAM accounts by positioning our cybersecurity and AI security offerings.

You will work alongside Client Partners, BU Heads, and delivery leaders to expand engagements — not to manage or deliver projects yourself. Success in this role requires the ability to “speak geek” with technical audiences while commanding the room with CISOs, CIOs, CTOs, and VPs.What Success Looks Like:
This role is measured on revenue impact — specifically, opening and expanding engagements within existing accounts. You are not expected to carry a utilization target or bill to projects. Your value is in accelerating the sales motion and serving as a senior, credible voice that opens doors and closes deals.
