Why this role existsOur buyers are security, AppSec, GRC, and privacy leaders at Fortune 500s and large enterprises. They're busy, skeptical, and hear from a dozen vendors a week. Reaching them takes someone who can:
- Research an account deeply enough to know where security reviews are breaking down and how to navigate that organization in a sales and customer context
- Engage senior security leaders with relevant, credible outreach instead of volume
- Turn event conversations, inbound interest, and target account engagement into qualified meetings
- Hand off opportunities to sales with the context and account research needed to move quickly
This role exists to build a predictable pipeline of qualified enterprise opportunities and to sharpen how we go to market along the way.

- Work booth and event conversations alongside the team
- Own post-event follow-up on badge scans, dinners, and speaking engagements, and turn them into first conversations
- Qualification & sales handoff
- Confirm interest, pain, and timing, and document why this, why now, and why Clearly AI
- Schedule discovery calls and demos with Account Executives and founders
- Hand off SQLs with complete context so sales can pick up without re-asking questions
- Stay informed on deal progression and contribute account context as needed
- Engaging our influential network
