About the role
We're looking for a Major Account Executive to own and grow a book of strategic enterprise accounts. This is a role for someone who can run complex, multi-threaded sales cycles into security-conscious buying committees (CISO, CIO, procurement, legal, and often the board) and close 3-year enterprise commitments in a competitive, incumbent-heavy market, while navigating channel partners (e.g. VARs and Distributors).
You'll be selling into organizations where a security failure is existential, where the buying process is genuinely adversarial by design, and where trust is earned through technical credibility and long-term relationships, not charisma. If you've sold into security teams before, you know this isn't a "build rapport and close" motion — it's proving you understand the threat model as well as the buyer does.
Responsibilities
- Own and grow a book of major/strategic accounts, running the full cycle from qualification through multi-year contract negotiation and close
- Navigate multi-stakeholder buying committees — security, IT, legal, procurement, and exec
