Sample interview questions
How would you build a territory plan for new-logo enterprise accounts in EMEA?

I would segment the territory by ideal customer profile, security maturity, SaaS footprint, regulatory exposure, and likelihood of an identity-security initiative. I would prioritize named accounts, map buying committees and partners, define account-specific hypotheses, and set weekly activity, pipeline-creation, and progression targets.

Describe how you would position Obsidian Security to a CISO evaluating SaaS security solutions.

I would begin with the CISO's risk priorities and current visibility gaps, then connect Obsidian's unified view of identities, applications, and integrations to measurable risk reduction. I would validate the business case through relevant attack scenarios, least-privilege outcomes, operational efficiency, and a jointly defined proof-of-value plan.

How do you maintain forecast accuracy in a complex enterprise sales cycle?

I use clear stage-exit criteria, documented customer commitments, mutual action plans, and regular validation of the economic buyer, technical sponsor, procurement path, and timeline. I distinguish upside from commit based on evidence rather than optimism and update CRM data immediately after material customer interactions.

Tell us how you handle a deal in which an incumbent vendor is strongly established.

I avoid competing only on feature checklists and first identify gaps in the incumbent approach that matter to the customer, such as unmanaged integrations, non-human identities, or operational blind spots. I then align internal specialists and partners around a focused proof of value with agreed success metrics and an executive-level business case.

How would you collaborate with Sales Engineering, Customer Success, and alliance partners to close an opportunity?

I would establish a shared account plan that defines roles, customer outcomes, milestones, and communication cadence. Sales Engineering would validate technical fit, Customer Success would reinforce deployment and adoption confidence, and partners would provide account access or complementary expertise while I retain clear ownership of the sales process.

Opportunity details

About this role.

Obsidian Security is a global leader in cyber security protecting the SaaS and non-human identity layer modern enterprises run on — from Salesforce and Snowflake to the AI agents now deployed inside them. The Obsidian Security platform gives unified visibility into every human and machine identity, app, and integration across their SaaS estate, detects identity-based and supply chain attacks in real time, and enforces least-privilege access before it’s exploited. Trusted by major Fortune 500 companies T-Mobile, Workday, Snowflake, and S&P Global, Obsidian ranked No. 95 on the 2025 Deloitte Technology Fast 500™, growing nearly 1000% from 2021–2024 — helping CISOs turn an unmonitored attack surface into one they can govern with confidence. Obsidian has also been recognized by Forbes as America’s Best Startup Employers in 2026.

In August 2026, Obsidian raised $85 million in Series D financing led by Crescent Cove Advisors, with participation from existing investors including Greylock Partners, Menlo Ventures, Norwest Venture Partners, IVP, Wing Ventures, and GV — pushing Obsidian’s valuation to $1.1 billion, crossing into unicorn status. Obsidian is using the funding to deepen its R&D in agentic AI security and extend its platform as the standard for governing what AI agents can access and do inside third-party applications.

With global momentum, a growing partner ecosystem including SentinelOne, Databricks, and Google Cloud, and fresh capital from its Series D behind it, Obsidian is scaling rapidly toward long-term growth and IPO readiness.
