About The Role
You will be our first dedicated account executive. Running full cycle from outbound through close, mostly into mid-market and enterprise security teams. You will define the playbook with the founders, not inherit one.
Responsibilities
- Run the full sales cycle: prospect, qualify, demo, evaluate, close
- Sell to Directors of Security and CISOs at mid-market and enterprise
- Build the playbook: scripts, decks, evaluation criteria, pricing motion
- Stay close to product. Bring customer truth back to the team every week
Who You Are
- Three or more years closing security or developer infrastructure software
- Comfortable being the most technical person in a sales meeting
- Track record of building a territory from zero
- Want to own outcomes, not just a quota
- Nice to have: past founding or early AE role at a security or infra startup, strong network with CISOs and security leaders, background in security, IT ops, or technical pre-sales
