The role
At emetel, we want your talent to matter from day one. We are a strategic technology consultancy that drives real solutions with bold ideas. If you are drawn to challenges, innovation, and a team that trusts your judgment, here you can grow, create impact, and become your best version.
Cybersecurity is no longer a "service"; it is a strategic area that defines Emetel's positioning, reputation, and sustainability.
We need someone who not only knows the sector but also knows how to transform it into business, with vision, order, judgment, and a real capacity to lead teams, portfolios, clients, and growth.
This role is key to ensuring BE:SEC remains a benchmark and evolves at the pace of the market.
We are not just looking for an expert person, but someone who plans and executes with judgment; who proposes, anticipates, and makes difficult decisions, understands the business and the client with the same depth, maintains focus on results without losing the global vision... and if this were not enough, someone who is honest, stable, consistent, and reliable, knows how to work under pressure without losing quality, builds teams, and makes them better.
What you'll do
Here is what will occupy your day-to-day, without embellishment:
Strategic management
- Define and execute the direction of the area: clients, services, team, marketing, R&D+i.
- Ensure compliance with the strategic plan, area objectives, and business KPIs.
- Keep the portfolio updated: what we offer, why, at what price, and to whom.
Business development
- Active presence with VIP clients and relevant potential prospects.
- Lead relationships with partners, manufacturers, and key sector players.
- Drive strategic proposals and participate in their defense.
- Accompany and train the sales area so they gain real autonomy.
Project and service management
- Ensure that strategic services and critical projects are executed with quality and focus.
- Verify compliance with applicable policies, procedures, and regulations.
- Identify operational risks within the area and make timely decisions.
Team leadership
- Facilitate the work of the technical and consulting teams (do not be a bottleneck).
- Manage conflicts when they arise and work towards a healthy and sustainable climate.
- Ensure discipline, results orientation, and quality in execution.
Representation
- Be the visible face of BE:SEC in forums, events, and cybersecurity environments.
- Position the area as a sector benchmark with judgment and credibility.
Hiring process
This role is for someone who wants to truly lead: strategy, business, team, and positioning. If you are looking for an environment where you can build, decide, and move forward, we want to talk to you.
