The posting, in Verkada's own words
archived Sep 2, 2026Who We Are
Verkada is transforming how organizations protect their people and places with an integrated, privacy-sensitive AI-powered platform that includes solutions for video security, access control, air quality sensors, alarms, intercoms, and visitor management. We’ve got serious momentum in the market: more than 30,000 customers (including 100+ of the Fortune 500), a $5.8B valuation , more than $1 billion in annualized bookings, and backing from CapitalG, Sequoia Capital, General Catalyst, Felicis Ventures, Next47 and more. Physical AI is one of the most consequential technology shifts of our time, and Verkada is at the center of it. You can look at all kinds of communities to see our platform’s impact in the world. It's the retailer that uses our agentic AI to deter theft before it happens. The warehouse that uses AI-powered alerts to make sure its team is protected on the floor with proper PPE. The school that’s alerted to a threat in real-time and triggers a lockdown in seconds, not minutes. We’re rapidly scaling this impact: today, more than 2 million Verkada devices are deployed across 170+ countries.

What You'll Do
Own the New York City office & the Northeast, its culture, and the path past $50M in annual revenue within two fiscal years along with the forecast accuracy behind it. Lead and develop a team of 5+ Regional Sales Managers (front line) and Account Executives (40+). Grow the organization without lowering the bar, which means building the leadership bench ahead of the headcount, not behind it. Run the operating cadence: weekly forecast calls, pipeline and deal inspection, monthly business reviews, quarterly territory and capacity planning. Coach Regional Sales Managers on the things that actually separate an average leader from a great one: talent decisions, performance management, capacity planning, and their own succession. Partner with Channel, Recruiting, Sales Enablement, Marketing, Sales Ops, and Product to unblock the region and feed what you learn in the field back into the product. Give executive leadership a clear, unvarnished read on the business: what's working, what isn't, and what you need.
