As an Account Executive, you will own the full sales cycle, from prospecting and qualification through close. You'll leverage your hands-on security domain knowledge to build credibility with CISO's and security teams, drive outbound prospecting, and hit quota consistently.

Key Responsibilities
  • Full-Cycle Sales: Source your own opportunities (cold outreach, events, referrals), qualify leads, demo, negotiate, and close deals.
  • Enterprise Engagement: Build trusted relationships with security leaders (CISOs, GRC, SecOps) at mid-market and enterprise organizations..
  • Quota Attainment: Consistently achieve or exceed quotas through proactive pipeline generation, sales execution, and disciplined forecasting.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Marketing, SDRs, Product, and Customer Success to refine messaging, craft winning proposals, and ensure smooth onboarding.
  • Market Insight: Share competitive intelligence, customer feedback, and product ideas to help shape our roadmap and positioning.
  • Career Growth: Leverage internal development programs and mentorship to accelerate your own progression-multiple promotions are encouraged for top performers.


What We're Looking For
  • Experience & Progression: 3+ years in SaaS sales with at least one internal promotion or clear track record of quota attainment and career growth.
  • Startup & GTM Fit: Proven success in early-stage (Seed-Series C) or high-growth environments, with hands-on outbound prospecting and self-sourced pipeline.
  • Market Segment Expertise: Regularly sold into mid-market enterprises; comfortable navigating multi-stakeholder buying processes.
  • Tenacity & Ownership: You own your territory end-to-end, thrive on challenging targets, and have the grit to turn cold calls into closed-won deals.

  • Direct experience selling security or GRC solutions-vulnerability management, human risk, SAT, risk management, or adjacent IT infrastructure.
  • Familiarity with MEDDICC or other enterprise sales methodologies.
  • Early-stage startup experience
  • Established relationships within the CISO community.


Why Join Us?
  • Competitive base + uncapped commission
  • Equity ownership early in your career (meaningful upside)
  • Rapid career progression and high visibility with leadership
  • A collaborative, mission-driven culture and flexible work model
