We’re partnering with a venture-backed cybersecurity startup that is building an AI-native platform for data loss prevention and insider risk. They’re hiring a hunter-style Enterprise Account Executive on the East Coast to open and close new logos. This is a full-cycle role.

You’ll work with the VP of Sales, directly with the CEO on executive deals, and with a forward-deployed engineer on every POC. It’s an early seat on a small team, so you’ll carry a number and help shape how the company sells as it grows.

- Advising CISOs and CIOs with a clear point of view on AI risk and data security, and growing those relationships over time
- Building business cases with your champions that stand up in front of their leadership
- Negotiating pricing and contract terms with procurement and legal teams
- Growing the company’s presence with channel and alliance partners in your region, and working with the founders on executive relationships
- Representing the company at conferences, regional events and industry gatherings
