What are the responsibilities and job description for the Public Sector Account Executive position at Netcraft?
About Netcraft
Netcraft is the global leader in cybercrime detection and disruption. We're a trusted partner for three of the four largest companies in the world and many large governments. We've blocked almost 200 million cyber-attacks to date, and we take down around 33% of the world's phishing attacks.
Our purpose and passion are focused on just one thing: protecting the world from cybercrime.
That passion shapes how we work, too. We're proud of our talented team and the value each person brings, and we've built a workplace where people feel supported and inspired. From strong benefits and wellness programs to meaningful collaboration and team connection.
The Role
We're looking for a driven, consultative Public Sector Account Executive to expand Netcraft's footprint across federal, state, and local government agencies.
You'll partner closely with our Americas Sales Leader and collaborate with colleagues across Sales, Product, Engineering, and Marketing across our global offices.
In this role, you will source, develop, and close new business within government and public-sector environments while educating agencies on the cyber threats targeting their systems, services, and infrastructure — and how Netcraft's world-leading detection, intelligence, and takedown capabilities can protect public services and citizen-facing platforms.
What You'll Be Doing
This is deeply important to us. Through our ally network, we support under-represented groups and maintain a working environment free from bias, harassment, or discrimination. We encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply.
We're also happy to make adjustments to the hiring process to ensure every candidate can participate fully.
Please note: Netcraft does not accept unsolicited approaches from external recruiters.
