Job descriptionWe are looking for a Technical Account Executive to join our Leviathan Security Group practice area who has been on both sides of the table: someone who has done hands-on security testing and has since moved into selling it. You will own a book of new and existing client relationships, lead technical discovery calls yourself, and scope engagements accurately enough that our delivery team can execute them profitably. Because you understand how a penetration test actually works, you'll be able to translate a client's environment and concerns into the right engagement and earn trust with security buyers who can tell the difference between a salesperson and a practitioner. You will work closely with both our consulting leads and project management team.
This is a remote role in the USA.

- Leverage client feedback to manage and grow a portfolio of existing accounts, including annual retesting, follow-on work, and retainer opportunities.
