Stratoscope is a security-focused consulting and event operations firm. It provides strategic event security, stadium and arena design consulting, weapons detection systems, K9 detection, executive protection, crowd management, and related facility security and emergency operations planning. The company emphasizes proactive intelligence monitoring, real-time threat assessment, and integrating security with guest experience to support large-scale events and sports/entertainment venues.

📋 Description

• Originate new business. Build and execute a quarter-by-quarter territory plan. Generate qualified pipeline through direct outreach, warm introductions, referral partnerships, industry events, and a personal presence in the markets that matter. Maintain a continuously updated and well-qualified pipeline at three times forward-quarter coverage of bookings target. • Lead consultative sales conversations. Meet with corporate security directors, venue operations leaders, athletic department executives, event producers, school and university safety leadership, places of worship security committees, chiefs of staff, family office principals, and government security buyers. Surface the threat environment, operational tempo, access control posture, event calendar, and existing security program. Translate what you learn into custom detection K9 deployment strategies in close partnership with our operations leadership. • Develop recurring detection programs. Stratos K9 delivers both event-based deployments and recurring on-site detection programs. You will originate, qualify, and close multi-year recurring detection engagements for corporate campuses, professional sports venues, large places of worship, school districts, and critical infrastructure, alongside single-event work for the most demanding live events in the country. • Author client-facing work product. Proposals, statements of work, fee schedules, and follow-up communications all go out under your name and reflect on the firm. The standard is CEO-class. You will own the quality of every deliverable that touches a prospect or client. • Negotiate and close. Move opportunities from qualified through executed agreement and operational handoff. Defend margin discipline. Coordinate commercial terms with the COO and outside counsel. Hand off cleanly to the operations and training teams for delivery. • Build channel partnerships. Develop a portfolio of referral relationships across event production firms, venue management companies, athletic facility operators, executive protection providers, security consultants, integrators, risk advisory firms, insurance brokers, and advisors serving Fortune 500 and UHNW principals. Activate them. Measure their contribution. • Cross-sell the platform. Stratos K9 is one part of a broader Stratoscope Holdings capability set. You will identify where executive protection, weapons detection screening systems, TSCM, or security consulting services round out a client program, and bring those revenue lines into your accounts. • Represent the brand. Show up at the right ASIS, IAVM, NCS4, and industry events. Carry yourself with the polish, discretion, and judgment expected in the environments where our clients operate. • Forecast accurately and report cleanly. Weekly pipeline updates, monthly forecast commits, disciplined CRM hygiene, and clear documentation of stage progression and risk. We make decisions on what you tell us, so the quality of what you tell us matters.

🎯 Requirements

• Five or more years of business development, sales, or commercial experience inside the explosive detection or firearms detection canine industry. This is a non-negotiable requirement.

The ability to produce client-facing documents, proposals, and emails that meet a CEO-class standard of clarity and polish without internal rework. • Genuine executive presence. The personal credibility to engage corporate security leadership, principals, senior advisors, and competing providers as a peer. • A disciplined sales operating system. Mastery of consultative methodology, structured pipeline management, accurate forecasting, and CRM hygiene. • Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution, or equivalent combination of education and experience. • Willingness to travel approximately 40 to 50 percent within the territory and periodically to company meetings and to industry conferences. • Ability to pass a comprehensive background investigation and maintain the confidentiality and discretion the role demands.
