The Role:
Yubico U.S. Public Sector’s mission is to stop cybersecurity breaches by eliminating vulnerabilities through phishing-resistant security. In January 2022, The Office of Management and Budget released OMB M-22-09, which requires the U.S. Government to implement phishing-resistant MFA as a foundational element of its journey towards Zero Trust cybersecurity principles. Yubico's NIST-validated solution, the YubiKey, is the most secure and efficient answer, operationally and financially. The YubiKey is an integral component of any Zero Trust solution as it asserts a trusted identity, is FIPS-validated and has revolutionized secure logins for top government entities within the United States and Worldwide.
Yubico also created a FIPS validated Hardware Security Module (HSM) that secures cryptographic keys through their entire lifecycle from secure key generation, attestation, secure key storage, secure key distribution, and secure key backup all the way to secure key destruction if needed. We are the premier phishing-resistant MFA solution within the U.S. Government.
Yubico is the standard for phishing-resistant MFA within the U.S. Public Sector.
We are searching for an experienced Director of Sales for the DoD to lead and grow our Public Sector sales efforts within the Department of Defense. While achieving revenue targets is critical, this leadership role is fundamentally about strategic growth and team development. You will direct the DoD sales strategy, manage a team of high-performing account executives, and oversee the identification of security gaps within our current and prospective DoD client base—ultimately supporting their missions and strategic objectives. This is a "player-coach" role, meaning you will both lead and mentor your team while carrying your own book of business and actively engaging in high-level sales cycles.
