Full Job Description
Role Overview

This is a strategic, consultative enterprise sales role - not a transactional one. You'll own a portfolio of named enterprise accounts and greenfield opportunities across key verticals (healthcare, financial services, technology, DoD/DIB, government contracting), running complex 6-18-month sales cycles and building C-suite relationships that generate long-term, multi-service revenue. You know the compliance landscape, command a boardroom, and close enterprise deals that others can't.
Key Responsibilities
Pipeline & Revenue
  • Own a named account list and enterprise territory - build and execute an account strategy that penetrates high-value targets across assigned verticals.
  • Drive the full sales cycle from outreach through close - managing multi-stakeholder opportunities, MSA and SOW negotiation, and multi-year contract terms.
  • Consistently achieve and exceed quarterly and annual revenue quotas; maintain accurate pipeline forecasting and deal-stage discipline in CRM.
  • Generate enterprise pipeline through outbound prospecting, executive referrals, partner channels, and industry events.
Executive Relationships
  • Build trusted advisor relationships with CISOs, CTOs, CFOs, and Heads of Compliance - developing multi-threaded engagement across the buying committee.
  • Develop deep account intelligence on organizational structure, compliance obligations, and risk priorities - connecting Insight Assurance's services to each client's strategic outcomes.
  • Maintain executive visibility and preference throughout long procurement timelines; map and manage champions, influencers, and economic buyers within every target account.
Consultative Selling & Positioning
  • Lead discovery conversations that uncover compliance obligations, audit timelines, multi-framework needs, and risk drivers that create urgency and justify investment.
  • Position the full IA service portfolio - SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HITRUST, CMMC, FedRAMP, penetration testing - as integrated solutions tailored to each enterprise client's compliance architecture.
  • Coordinate with practice leaders and delivery teams to develop customized proposals, presentations, and RFP/RFI responses that are technically accurate and commercially competitive.
  • Stay current on compliance framework developments and regulatory changes; lead credible, informed conversations with sophisticated enterprise buyers.
Account Expansion & Retention
  • Identify and pursue expansion opportunities within named accounts - additional service lines, new business units, subsidiary orgs, and multi-year renewals.
  • Partner with Customer Success on executive business reviews and renewal conversations; maintain the executive relationship throughout the client lifecycle.
  • Develop account growth plans mapping whitespace, multi-year compliance roadmaps, and cross-sell opportunities across the IA portfolio.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Partner with BDRs on territory strategy, outbound prioritization, and enterprise engagement coaching.
  • Collaborate with Marketing on ABM campaigns and enterprise thought leadership that drives pipeline in named accounts.
  • Maintain rigorous CRM hygiene - all enterprise activity logged, opportunities updated weekly, forecasts submitted on time.
  • Provide structured market and competitive feedback to practice leaders, marketing, and sales leadership.

  • Experience in both hunting and closing roles.
  • Experience selling professional services, cybersecurity, compliance, SaaS, or audit/assurance solutions into enterprise or mid-market accounts strongly preferred.
  • Strong consultative selling skills - you lead with discovery, connect deeply to business outcomes, and build compelling business cases for senior decision-makers.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills - able to command a boardroom, simplify complex compliance concepts, and tailor messaging to both technical and executive audiences.
  • Highly proficient in CRM platforms (HubSpot, Salesforce, or equivalent) and enterprise sales tools; disciplined approach to pipeline management and forecasting.
  • Self-directed, organized, and accountable - able to manage a complex enterprise territory and multiple concurrent opportunities with minimal oversight.

Nice to Have
  • Familiarity with cybersecurity compliance frameworks - SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HITRUST, CMMC, or FedRAMP - and the ability to engage credibly with compliance buyers on framework requirements, audit timelines, and certification strategy.
