4. Lead Generation: Develop and execute lead generation campaigns, presentations, and events tailored to a target list of high-potential resellers. Collaborate with marketing teams to drive awareness and interest.

5. Partner Engagement: Work closely with partners to understand their existing security challenges and demonstrate how Cisco solutions can successfully address those challenges. Form relationships with key decision-makers within partner organizations.

6. Sales Support: Offer pre-sales technical support to partners, including solution demonstrations and customized proposals. Collaborate with the sales team to close deals and achieve revenue targets.

7. Training and Enablement: Provide technical training and enablement resources to partners, ensuring they have the knowledge and tools to effectively promote and sell Cisco security products.

8. Reporting and Metrics: Maintain accurate records of partner interactions, opportunities, and sales progress. Prepare regular reports for management to supervise the success and efficiency of business development efforts.

**Who You Are**
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Business, Information Technology, or a related field.
- Demonstrable experience in technical selling roles within the IT security industry.
- Good communication and presentation skills.
- Outstanding relationship and trust-building abilities.
- Self-motivated with a track record of achieving and exceeding targets.
