This position is based in the US, specifically in the West Coast. All other locations are not currently being considered.

About your team and your mission

We're hiring a Strategic Enterprise Account Executive to own and grow a focused portfolio of Fortune 500 and highly regulated enterprise accounts. You'll report to the Regional VP East, on a team of ambitious sales professionals in the US.

This is a named-account role, built for depth rather than breadth. You'll carry a small, hand-picked portfolio of Fortune 500 and highly regulated accounts, each one an opportunity to build real influence.

These are substantial sales cycles, often in banking and financial services, where a single deal is complex with many stakeholders involved. Winning them rewards strong judgment, the patience to earn the trust of CISOs, and the discipline to keep a complex deal moving on your own.

Your Mission:
  • Own and expand a portfolio of strategic named accounts, focused on Fortune 500 and highly regulated enterprises
  • Navigate Fortune 500 buying committees and multi-thread relationships across security, engineering, and business stakeholders
  • Build executive-level trust with CISOs, AppSec leaders, platform engineering leaders, and business stakeholders
  • Drive competitive displacement against incumbent vendors
  • Build and execute multi-year account penetration and expansion strategies
  • Own your pipeline and forecast with discipline; you're self-directed, process-driven, and committed to results


Who You Are:
  • 10+ years of enterprise software or security sales experience, with a track record running large strategic accounts and complex, multi-stakeholder evaluations
  • Proven experience selling into Fortune 500 organizations
  • Experience selling Application Security, DevSecOps, Cloud Security, Infrastructure Security, Identity/NHI/IAM, or developer tooling
  • A track record of competitive displacement wins and enterprise expansions
  • Executive presence: the ability to build trust and exceptional communication with CISOs, AppSec leaders, and business stakeholders
  • Strong political and organizational judgment: experience navigating buying committees, multi-threading, and executive influence mapping
  • A disciplined, independent operating style; accurate forecasting, thoughtful escalation, and autonomous project management
