At Cisco Security, we are redefining the future of cybersecurity by delivering powerful protection for users, workloads, devices, and networks—wherever they are. Our team is our greatest asset, bringing together diverse skills, experiences, and perspectives to tackle one of the most pressing challenges of our time: transforming the security industry. From creatives to analysts, from low-key to high-energy, we work together to build solutions that are simple, effective, trustworthy, and enduring.

This is why Cisco is not just the most trusted name in cybersecurity—we’re also the most loved.

As a Sales Development Representative (SDR) for Security, you will rally alongside a team of highly motivated SDRs to build a qualified pipeline of potential partners. This includes prospecting partners by phone, email, Linked In or whatever it takes to get them passionate about and engaged with Cisco Security. You will not only be responsible for prospecting but will also be expected to be a subject matter expert of all things Cisco Security, as you will be the face of the company.

You’ll also develop trusted relationships internally and externally, becoming a true subject matter expert and storyteller, capable of positioning new, incubated products to solve today’s most pressing cybersecurity challenges.

This is your opportunity to make a real impact, accelerate your career in cybersecurity, and help customers protect what matters most in an ever‑evolving digital world. At Cisco, we set you up for success with:

• Comprehensive Sales Boot Camp and ongoing product training.
• Opportunities to shadow and learn from security experts.
• A supportive network of mentors and teammates who will cheer you on every step of the way—up to our CEO.

• Completion within the past 3 years, or current enrollment with expected completion within 12 months, of a certification or degree program (e.g., Associates, Apprenticeship, Boot Camp, or Certification in a specialized program + 3 years of relevant experience, High School Diploma + 4 years of relevant experience, Bachelors + 2 years of relevant experience).
• Outbound sales and/or lead‑generation experience in a high‑tech or SaaS company.
• Able to legally live and work in the country for which you’re applying, without visa support or sponsorship.

• Experience prospecting in the cybersecurity space.
• Demonstrated success with cold‑calling and outbound prospecting for new customers.
• Familiarity with CRM tools like Salesforce (SFDC), Hub Spot, or similar platforms.
• A proven track record of meeting or exceeding ambitious (but achievable) targets.
• An ambitious, self‑driven individual who thrives in a fast‑paced, competitive environment, embracing challenges with a hunter mentality.
• An entrepreneurial, resilient, and excited person who is eager to position innovative, incubated products in a rapidly evolving market.

At Cisco, we’re revolutionizing how data and infrastructure connect and protect organizations in the AI era—and beyond.
