• Significant enterprise software sales experience, generating and closing large & complex software transactions within the Canadian Federal Government and Crown Corps in Ottawa - more specifically the federal public safety portfolio.   
  
• *Must live in Ottawa.
   
  
• A strong team mentality - selling is a team sport at Tanium, where managing and using virtual resources to tackle large and complex sales cycles is a "must have" skill.
• Proven track record of exceeding quota.
• Experience calling on and presenting to C-Suite level contacts.
• Understanding and familiarity with various procurement vehicles (ie CSPV/SLSA).
