Come Grow with MicroSolved

MSI is currently seeking two full time team members to help grow our information security offerings to our clients. 

We are seeking a sales person to assist current customers with their needs, conduct campaigns to identify new prospects, work directly with the security engineers to scope engagements and complete the process by closing engagements and working with the project managers to complete the work plan. The successful sales person will be detail oriented, friendly, self motivated and willing to engage with customers with a high level of passion and energy. Our sales process is mature, transparent and client focused and that has helped us become one of the oldest information security firms in the country. The sales position can be filled by someone located anywhere in the mid-west, as long as they are open to some travel to visit clients and occasional travel back to Columbus as needed. 

The other position is a security team member. This is a technical position, with the primary duties being penetration testing of networks, applications and electronic devices. Security team members also back up the risk assessment team, perform consulting duties and help with development of products and services across the MSI offerings. Some security experience is required, along with expected proficiency with operating systems, networking and some basics of coding/scripting. The security team member position should live in Central OH. We need physical presence for much of the work in our lab, so this person has to be close to HQ. 

To apply for either of these positions, please drop us an email with a resume, a short bio and few paragraphs that explain exactly what you bring to the table and why we should add you to our team. Email us at INFO(at sign)microsolved.com. Thanks for reading and we look forward to hearing from you!
