Turn Your Technical Background Into a High-Growth Sales Career

Telence Solutions is a fast-growing consulting firm delivering professional services across the full networking and security landscape — Nokia, Cisco, Juniper, Ciena, Arista, Versa, Palo Alto Networks, and full optical solutions. We're built by industry veterans, including leadership with 20 years running a major carrier-grade services organization, and we're now investing directly in the next generation of technical sales talent in the US West region. This isn't a typical entry-level sales job.

It's a structured, hands-on development program for people who already understand networking equipment and are ready to build a career translating that knowledge into deals, relationships, and revenue. You'll be trained personally, mentored closely, and given real ownership as you grow — with earning potential that scales far beyond a traditional entry-level role. What You'll Do

● Learn the full sales cycle — prospecting, technical positioning, quoting, and closing — directly from senior sales leadership

● Represent a multi-vendor portfolio (Nokia, Cisco, Juniper, Ciena, Arista, Versa, Palo Alto, optical) to enterprise and carrier customers

● Bridge the gap between technical credibility and commercial conversations, using your field background to build trust with customers from day one

● Progress toward increasing account ownership and deal responsibility as you demonstrate results What We're Looking For

● Education: A bachelor's degree in a technical field — Computer Engineering, Computer Science,



Electrical Engineering, Network Engineering, IT, or similar — completed within the last 10 years

● Certifications: At least one relevant credential such as CCNA, Nokia NRS-1, JNCIA, or an equivalent associate-level networking certification

● Field Experience: Hands-on experience installing, configuring, or supporting networking equipment — internships and junior field roles count

● Communication: Strong written and spoken English; comfortable presenting to and building rapport with customers

● Drive: Genuine motivation to build a long-term career in technical sales — coachable, competitive, and hungry to grow

● Location: Based in (or willing to relocate to) the US West region Compensation & Growth

We designed this program for people who want to bet on themselves:

● Base: $50,000/year

● Commission: Uncapped, aggressive variable commission structure — top performers significantly outearn traditional sales base salaries within their first year or two

● Equity: Potential for company equity as you hit growth milestones, with meaningful upside given our trajectory since inception

● Mentorship: Direct, hands-on coaching from leadership with two decades of carrier and enterprise sales experience

● Career path: A clear track toward Account Executive / Sales Director as you prove yourself

If you're early in your career, technically credible, and ready to trade a leaner base for real mentorship and real upside — we want to hear from you.
