Enterprise Security Solutions Consultant

First Response Security is growing, and we’re looking for a relationship-focused sales professional who understands the electronic security industry and wants to make a direct impact on a high-performing team.

This is not a high-volume cold-calling role.

Our ideal candidate understands that great sales professionals don’t simply close a deal and move on. They build trust, manage relationships, solve problems, and remain engaged throughout the customer lifecycle. They are proactive, technically curious, and committed to delivering exceptional service long after the contract is signed.

For more than 35 years, First Response has been helping businesses throughout the Portland metro area protect their people, property, and assets through integrated security solutions including access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection, fire systems, and professional security services.

This position requires a background check, drug screen, and driving record check.

What You’ll Do

• Manage and grow a portfolio of business clients throughout the Portland metro area
• Develop long-term relationships with decision-makers and stakeholders
• Generate opportunities through networking, referrals, existing customer relationships, and strategic business development
• Identify opportunities to expand services within existing accounts
• Consult with clients on security challenges and recommend customized solutions
• Collaborate closely with operations, project management, and technical teams to ensure successful implementation
• Maintain accurate pipeline activity and forecasting within CRM
• Stay current on industry trends, technologies, and best practices
• Other duties as assigned

What Makes Someone Successful Here

• Takes ownership without waiting to be told what to do
• Follows through relentlessly and never lets opportunities go stale
• Learns technical products quickly and continuously expands industry knowledge
• Builds genuine relationships with clients and internal teams
• Maintains a high level of accountability and professionalism
• Thrives in an environment where results matter and initiative is rewarded

Are you an experienced electronic security sales professional looking for the opportunity to build lasting client partnerships while representing a respected local industry leader?, We strongly prefer candidates with experience selling electronic security solutions, including:

• Access Control Systems
• Video Surveillance / CCTV
• Intrusion Detection Systems
• Fire Alarm Systems
• Integrated Security Solutions
• Electronic Security Sales
• Fire and Life Safety Solutions

Candidates from electronic security providers are highly encouraged to apply (preferably 3-5 years of experience).

We’re looking for someone who understands that great security sales is about more than closing a deal, it’s about becoming a trusted partner to your clients. If you have experience selling electronic security solutions and understand access control, video surveillance, intrusion, fire, or integrated security systems, you’ll have the opportunity to build on your expertise while representing a respected local provider with more than 35 years of industry experience
