Role Description

Reporting to the Sales Director, the Sales Specialist is a field-based position dedicated to driving the adoption of our cutting-edge PingOne Recognize biometric authentication technology.

You will leverage a robust internal resource model and global partner directory to displace legacy MFA and revolutionize how enterprises handle digital trust.

• Lead the Passwordless Revolution: Create and execute a territory strategy specifically designed to evangelize PingOne Recognize, targeting organizations burdened by legacy MFA and high-friction authentication.
• Master the Value Prop: Articulate the unique technical and business value of PingOne Recognize—privacy-preserving biometrics, zero-knowledge architecture, and the elimination of credential-based attacks.
• Engineer Complex Deals: Navigate and close high-stakes contracts by demonstrating how PingOne Recognize integrates into existing CIAM and IAM ecosystems to reduce fraud and improve user experience.
• Act as a Market Liaison: Provide direct field intelligence to Product and Engineering teams to ensure the PingOne Recognize roadmap remains the industry leader in biometric innovation.
• Orchestrate Specialist Resources: Work collaboratively with Sales Engineers and Privacy experts to address deep technical inquiries regarding biometric data and compliance.
• Forecast with Precision: Maintain a high level of transparency in sales activity and pipeline health, specifically tracking the adoption lifecycle of biometric solutions.
