Job Description
Purple is seeking a high performing Senior Sales Director – Staff WiFi to lead our expansion into the corporate connectivity and secure enterprise WiFi market. This senior, quota carrying role focuses on building Purple’s presence across corporate offices, multi site enterprises, manufacturing, logistics, professional services, and secure workplace environments. Unlike Purple’s heritage in guest WiFi, this role focuses on secure corporate networks, identity-driven access, policy control, monitoring, and enterprise connectivity.
You will help organisations modernise their network access strategy, reduce cyber risk, and bring automation and intelligence to their WiFi environments. Reporting to the SVP Global Sales, you will lead Purple’s corporate WiFi go-to-market execution, develop strong customer and partner relationships, and deliver growth in a strategically important vertical. This role is designed to scale in size and complexity over time — beginning with mid-market and upper mid-market organisations and expanding into national and international tier-one enterprise opportunities as the solution and GTM mature.
Why join Purple?
Our values define us. We get the job done without politics or drama, we develop our people, and we take pride in making work fun. You’ll join a team that knows its stuff, keeps learning, and raises the bar every day.

- Articulate the value of secure onboarding, advanced monitoring, analytics, and zero trust based network access.
- Execute corporate go to market plans across priority verticals including corporate offices, logistics, distribution, manufacturing, and professional services.
- Support the evolution and refinement of Purple’s corporate WiFi offerings as the solution scales toward enterprise-grade deployments.
- Work with MSPs, integrators, and OEM partners to broaden reach, enhance integration, and drive adoption.
- Support partner enablement to strengthen commercial and technical execution.
- Represent Purple at industry events, cybersecurity forums, networking conferences, and partner showcases.
- Contribute to market facing thought leadership on secure Staff WiFi, network intelligence, and identity driven access.
Who You Are
- A proven enterprise sales leader with 7–10+ years selling secure WiFi, network security, identity/access, or cybersecurity solutions.

- Commercially driven, highly autonomous, and able to operate effectively in an evolving product/vertical environment.
