Account Executive (Boston, US)

At Ray Security, we’re redefining how enterprises protect their data. Our predictive platform forecasts which data will be used and secures it before risks arise, helping organizations stay ahead in a world where information moves fast. We’re backed by an $11 million Seed round led by Venture Guides and Ibex Investors, enabling us to scale quickly and shape a new category in data protection. 

We’re building a team of innovative, driven, and creative people who make a real impact every day. If you’re excited by tough challenges, love solving problems, are target-driven, and want your work to matter in the world of data security, you’ll feel at home here. 

Come help us shape the future of data security!

This is one of our first AE hires, a chance to build our enterprise sales motion from the ground up and work with the Founder / CEO directly who has been a repeat entrepreneur with a history of successful outcomes. You’ll shape territory strategy, experiment with outbound engines, and help define how we win. As we scale, you’ll have the opportunity to grow into regional or leadership roles with significant ownership. You’ll build repeatable pipeline engines, navigate multi-threaded security and data buyer groups, and close new ARR, partnering tightly with our founders, product, and solutions teams.

• Own the full sales cycle, from prospecting to close, for net-new enterprise accounts, maintaining a 3–5× pipeline with disciplined forecasting.
• Create a pipeline independently: design and execute outbound plays (cold calls, emails, social media, events), leverage modern tools, and partner with SDRs and marketing to scale what works.
• Run enterprise-grade discovery and value selling with CISOs, CDOs, security, privacy, data, and platform teams; tailor business cases to risk reduction in data security/storage programs.
• Orchestrate POVs with Sales Engineering/Solutions to prove time-to-value on Ray’s predictive data security outcomes.
