Commercial Account Executive, West

Ent is the intent-aware workspace security platform for securing human and AI-driven work. Built to protect productivity, the new attack surface, Ent understands not just what users and agents do but why, and intervenes at the moment of risk before incidents occur. Where existing tools see events, Ent sees intent, so security teams can step in at the moment of risk instead of investigating days later. Founded by Lou Manousos and Brandon Dixon, co-founders of RiskIQ (acquired by Microsoft) and the team behind Microsoft Security Copilot, Ent is in production with Global 2000 customers across hospitality, financial services, and defense, and backed by Decibel, Sequoia, Crosspoint Capital, Craft Ventures, Shield Capital, Felicis, and In-Q-Tel. We’re now hiring the team that will define this category.

How We Work: Customer first. The product and the business are built around problems we’ve watched real security teams struggle with — not the other way around. Every roadmap conversation starts with what a CISO told us last week. Humble. No drama. We hire people who share the mission and trust each other to deliver. Teamwork over showmanship. Accountability over politics. The work speaks louder than the person doing it. Urgency. The window to build a durable security company in the AI era is open right now and it will not stay open. The shot clock has started. We move at the speed of the people we want to protect.

About the role

We're hiring Commercial Account Executives to sell Ent to security teams at organizations up to 2,500 employees. This is a full-cycle hunting role: you'll source most of your own pipeline, run the evaluation with a security team, build the business case, and close it. Deals move faster in this segment and there are more of them, so the job rewards activity, discipline, and the willingness to pick up the phone before anyone asks you to. You'll be selling a new category, which means the conversation starts with the problem rather than a feature comparison, and you'll be doing it early enough that what you learn in the field changes the product and the playbook.

Responsibilities

• You'll own a quota and hit it, running the full cycle from first conversation to signature to a clean handoff.
• You'll build your own pipeline. This is the core of the job — outbound, your network, events, and partners. You won't wait for leads, and the majority of your number will come from what you sourced yourself.
• You'll work at volume without getting sloppy: high activity, disciplined follow-up, and a pipeline you can inspect at any moment because you keep it current.
• You'll run credible evaluations with security teams: scoping the proof of value, working alongside our engineers, and getting to a clear yes or no rather than a stalled pilot.
• You'll multithread — security leadership, IT and identity owners, procurement — and build the business case that survives a budget conversation you're not in.
• You'll forecast honestly. You'll know where every deal stands, what has to happen next, and you'll call
