<div class="WordSection1"> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 4pt; line-height: 115%; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><strong>Location:</strong> Fully Remote<br><strong>Department:</strong> Operations<br><strong>Reports to:</strong> Chief Executive Officer</p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 4pt; line-height: 115%; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><strong>About Us<br></strong>We are a fast-growing cybersecurity startup helping MSPs and mid-market organizations secure endpoints, enforce configuration compliance, and mitigate modern cyber threats at scale. Senteon is focused on delivering innovative solutions to secure critical business infrastructure. We prioritize a proactive security culture, operational excellence, and continuous innovation. Our channel motion is intentionally early and intentionally protected. This role exists to build it the right way.</p> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 4pt; text-align: center; line-height: 115%; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><hr></div> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 4pt; line-height: 115%; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><strong>Position Overview</strong></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 4pt; line-height: 115%; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">This is Senteon’s <strong>first full-time channel hire</strong>.
