We deliver advanced IT solutions across education, government, and commercial markets, with a focus on network infrastructure, data center modernization, and cybersecurity.

Our mission is simple: solve complex technology problems while delivering the best customer experience in the industry. Our core values, proactive ingenuity, positive team harmony, relentless commitment, and trusted reliability, guide how we serve customers and support our team.

About the Role

This is not a Farmer role.

The Technology Account Executive is a new-business, hunter-focused position responsible for prospecting, opening doors, and winning new customer relationships. This role is ideal for someone who wants to build something of their own, a book of business created through effort, consistency, and curiosity.

While relationships you bring in will be nurtured long-term, the primary focus is new logo acquisition. You will own your pipeline end-to-end, from first outreach through close, working closely with engineering and services teams to deliver thoughtful, high-impact solutions.

This is a long-term career opportunity for someone who understands that sustainable success in sales is built over time.

Key Responsibilities

• New Business Development (Primary Focus): Proactively prospect, network, and hunt for net-new accounts within assigned markets and verticals. Create opportunities through outbound activity, referrals, and strategic outreach.
• Pipeline Ownership: Build, manage, and grow a healthy sales pipeline. Maintain accurate forecasting and pipeline hygiene.
• Consultative Selling: Engage prospects using a discovery-first approach to understand business challenges. Learn SureLock’s solutions and guide customers toward outcomes that solve real problems.
• Customer Experience Leadership: Own the customer journey from first conversation through close. Ensure a professional, transparent, and trust-based experience throughout the sales process.
• Internal Collaboration: Partner with engineering, services, and leadership to design strong solutions and execute effectively. Coordinate internal resources to support successful deal outcomes.
• Relationship Building: Develop long-term customer relationships with accounts you bring into SureLock. Create repeatable value and future growth opportunities.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience: Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience. Technology sales experience is a plus but not required. Compensation will align with experience.
• Hunter Mentality: Comfortable creating opportunities and opening doors through proactive effort. Motivated by building something from scratch rather than inheriting accounts.
• Growth Mindset: Curious, coachable, and committed to continuous improvement. Willing to learn both sales skills and technical fundamentals.
• Discipline and Work Ethic: Consistent, daily effort toward pipeline creation and follow-through. Strong personal accountability for results.
• Career Focused: Looking to build a long-term sales career, not just take a job.

Why Join SureLock Technology?

• Build your own book of business and be rewarded for the value you create
• Work alongside experienced technical and leadership teams invested in your success
• Access real training, real support, and real opportunity
• Join a company focused on relationships, accountability, and long-term growth

Join US

At SureLock Technology, we’re not hiring order-takers, we’re building sales professionals who want ownership, growth, and upside.
