Account Executive

About the Role

We’re looking for a driven and commercially minded Account Executive to own the full sales cycle within a cybersecurity business. This is a hands-on role for someone who is equally comfortable generating their own leads, qualifying opportunities, running product demos, and closing deals, often with C-level and senior security stakeholders.

You’ll be selling a technically sophisticated cybersecurity solution, so confidence, credibility, and the ability to translate complex concepts into clear business value are essential.

This role represents a great opportunity for someone looking to transition into tech or cybersecurity sales. A technical background is not required — we’re looking for strong sales fundamentals, confidence, and the ability to learn. Full product training and ongoing support will be provided.

Key Responsibilities

  • Proactively generate new business through outbound prospecting (cold calling, email, LinkedIn, networking)
  • Qualify inbound and outbound leads to identify high-value opportunities
  • Manage the full sales cycle from first contact through to close
  • Deliver engaging product demos to senior decision-makers, including CISO, CIO, CTO, and other C-level stakeholders
  • Understand customer security challenges and position solutions accordingly
  • Build and maintain a strong sales pipeline using CRM tools
  • Accurately forecast revenue and report on sales activity
  • Work closely with technical, product, and leadership teams to support deals

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience in a full-cycle / 360 sales role
  • Strong outbound sales skills and confidence picking up the phone
  • Comfortable presenting and demoing to senior and executive-level stakeholders
  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and closing skills
  • Self-starter mentality with strong ownership of results
  • Ability to understand and articulate technical concepts in a commercial way

Nice to Have

  • Previous experience selling cybersecurity solutions
  • Experience selling to mid-market or enterprise customers
  • Knowledge of common security frameworks, compliance, or risk-based selling

What We Offer

  • Competitive base salary plus uncapped commission
  • Opportunity to work in a fast-growing cybersecurity company
  • High level of autonomy and ownership
  • Direct exposure to senior leadership and strategic deals
  • Clear progression path for high performers
