Are you a driven, high-energy sales professional who thrives on closing new business and exceeding quota?


We’re partnering with a global, high-growth cybersecurity SaaS business that is transforming how organisations manage human risk and security awareness. With tens of thousands of customers worldwide and a market-leading, AI-powered platform, this organisation is helping businesses turn their employees into their strongest line of defence against cyber threats.


This is an opportunity to join a company that dominates its niche, continues to innovate at pace, and offers real earning potential and career progression.


The Role | SMB Account Executive

As an Account Executive, you’ll own the full sales cycle for small to mid-sized organisations (25–500 employees), driving both net-new business and the reactivation of lapsed accounts.

You’ll be responsible for building a pipeline, closing deals, and consistently exceeding monthly targets in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment.


What You’ll Be Doing

  • Driving new business across your assigned territory
  • Identifying and closing net new logos
  • Re-engaging dormant accounts and uncovering new opportunities
  • Building and managing a strong, consistent sales pipeline
  • Conducting outbound prospecting (calls, email, networking, demos)
  • Articulating a clear and compelling value proposition around security awareness and human risk management
  • Forecasting accurately and managing your territory strategically
  • Following up on marketing-qualified leads to convert opportunities
  • Negotiating pricing within established guidelines
  • Maintaining accurate CRM records (Salesforce)
  • This is a metrics-driven role, high activity, high visibility, high reward.


What They’re Looking For

  • 1 to 3 years of software sales experience (SMB experience preferred)
  • Proven track record of hitting or exceeding quota
  • Confidence with outbound prospecting and cold calling
  • Familiarity with IT security concepts is advantageous
  • Experience using Salesforce and Google Workspace
  • Highly motivated, energetic self-starter
  • Strong communication skills (written and verbal)
  • Comfortable working independently while contributing to a collaborative team environment
  • Bachelor’s degree preferred
  • Security or Network certifications are a bonus, but not essential.


Why Join?

  • Join a global leader in a red-hot cybersecurity segment
  • AI-driven, best-in-class product suite
  • Huge market demand and strong brand credibility
  • Clear earning potential (OTE up to $120k)
  • Career progression in a scaling organisation
  • Supportive, high-performance culture


If you’re competitive, commercially sharp, and ready to accelerate your sales career within a booming SaaS security business, this could be your next big move.
