    About this role

    Our mission and why it mattersWe are on a mission to make humans the strongest security layer.Human risk remains one of the biggest vulnerabilities and traditional awareness training is not enough. We take a different approach by combining AI-driven personalization, real threat detection, and behavioral science to actively protect people and organizations.We don't just simulate risks.

    We build the tools that detect and stop them.Why this role matters The DACH region is currently our largest growth market in EMEA, generating an incredible amount of pipeline. With a highly certified product and an exceptional service that customers genuinely love, we have laid a strong foundation.

    We are now looking for a highly self-motivated Senior Account Executive who excels at taking those enterprise opportunities, multi-threading to economic buyers, and guiding them successfully through complex procurement cycles.

    You will be joining a team that has already proven it can support companies in seeing the value of the service, making this a prime opportunity to drive significant revenue rather than a speculative territory.

    Crucially, as our business results grow and we scale our presence in Germany, this role offers a clear pathway for a high performer to step into a leadership position and help shape our future local hub.

    What you’ll own and drive You will take full ownership of the sales cycle for enterprise accounts in the DACH market, expertly guiding deals from initial pipeline through complex procurement to closed-won. Driving multi-threaded deals is second nature to you, as you reach economic buyers early and confidently hold the line on price objections.

    You will lead POC-led selling initiatives with real, concrete exit criteria to ensure successful outcomes, all while partnering closely with an SDR to prioritize opportunities and maintain rigorous pipeline hygiene with customer-owned next steps.What success looks like • In your first 3 months you'll be fully onboarded, deep
