It's fun to work in a company where people truly BELIEVE in what they're doing

We're committed to bringing passion and customer focus to the business.

Corporate Overview

In today's cyber threat landscape, protection starts with people.

At Proofpoint, that simple truth fuels our passion for protecting users, the data they create, and the systems they rely on from a uniquely people-centric perspective.

And we're just as passionate about finding the right people to help us in that mission.

When you join Proofpoint, you're helping to:
Build and enhance our proven security platform

Blend innovation and speed in a constantly evolving cloud environment

Analyze new threats and offer deep insight through data-driven intel

Collaborate with customers to help solve their toughest security challenges

We are singularly devoted to helping our customers protect their greatest assets and biggest security risk: their people.

That's why we're a leader in next-generation cybersecurity—and why more than half of the Fortune 100 trust us as a security partner.

About the Business Development Team

The Proofpoint Business Development team are collaborative team players who are always willing to share their winning sales tactics with their peers.

Business Development Reps (BDRs) at Proofpoint have a direct impact on the success of our sales organization.

Our BDRs are trusted partners, working side-by-side with our Field, Territory and Enterprise Account Managers to capture market share across the USA.

They are highly valued members of our organization and for this reason, Proofpoint heavily invests in their professional growth and empowers them with the resources and support to advance their careers, whether that be as an Account Representative, Customer Success Manager, Program Manager, or any other opportunity of interest.

About the Role:
Business Development Representative

We're looking for a collaborative team player to join our rapidly growing Business Development team in Pittsburgh, PA. This position is hybrid (three days in the office).

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is interested in joining a high growth, fast paced tech company in the in-demand industry of enterprise cybersecurity.

At Proofpoint you will be driven by the desire to learn, grow, and succeed in your professional sales or marketing journey.

Your day-to-day

The ideal candidate will demonstrate their adaptability and creative communication skills as they identify, engage with, and qualify potential customers in their assigned territory.

Our most successful BDRs create integrity for themselves in the eyes of their business partners by coming prepared to meetings, asking thoughtful questions, and focusing on quality over quantity.

This is a highly visible role where you will, when ready, have the opportunity to showcase your work to executives and participate in demo calls with customers.

Business Development Representatives are equipped with CRM tools like and Outreach, as well as social media campaigns, to ensure they have the resources they need to be successful.

The Business Development Representative role is unique at Proofpoint compared to other companies, because here, you will have the opportunity to do much more than schedule client meetings and cold calls from a script.

You will have the chance to use your judgement, share your ideas and form lasting relationships and experiences that will help shape the next steps in your professional journey.

What you bring to the team
