Major Account Solutions Architect (MASA) – Enterprise

Benelux & Nordics

Qualys Netherlands

About the Role

As a Major Account Solutions Architect (MASA) at Qualys, you will play a critical role in supporting and expanding our largest and most strategic enterprise customers across the Benelux & Nordics. This role is designed as a senior, highly technical counterpart to the Account Director (AD), with a primary focus on deep technical engagement, platform architecture, and renewal ownership.

The MASA operates at the intersection of technology, business value, and customer outcomes. You will deeply understand the customer’s technical environment, security architecture, and operational challenges, and translate those into effective use of the Qualys platform. While the Account Director leads commercial expansion and upsell strategy, the MASA owns renewals and works jointly with the AD to identify growth opportunities, ensure long-term value realization, and maintain executive-level trust.

This role requires close collaboration with Product Management, Engineering, and regional teams, as well as the ability to engage confidently with senior technical stakeholders and executives at enterprise customers.

Market & Industry Engagement

• Stay current on cybersecurity trends, enterprise architectures, regulatory requirements, and industry best practices.
• Represent Qualys at customer meetings, industry events, conferences, and seminars.

Requirements

• Proven experience in a senior technical, solution architecture, or pre/post-sales role within cybersecurity or enterprise SaaS.
• Deep technical knowledge of security domains such as Vulnerability Management, Compliance, File Integrity Monitoring, Event Detection and Response, Web Application Security, Cloud Security, and enterprise security architectures.

• Ability to engage credibly with highly technical teams as well as senior business and executive stakeholders.
• Experience working closely with Sales, Account Directors, and customer success teams in complex enterprise environments.
• Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to translate technical detail into business value.
• Highly organized and capable of managing multiple strategic accounts simultaneously.
