Ready to make a real impact within the Identity space? We’re looking for a Founding Enterprise Account Executive who thrives in an early-stage environment, knows how to sell into complex enterprise organisations, and can turn security challenges into high-value opportunities.

If you’ve sold Cybersecurity solutions into enterprise accounts, love owning the full sales cycle, and want to help build the GTM motion from the ground up, let’s talk.


🚀 What You'll Be Doing

  • Own the full enterprise sales cycle, from prospecting and discovery through negotiation and close.
  • Build and develop relationships with CISOs, CIOs, security leaders, architects, and technical stakeholders.
  • Identify and create opportunities within strategic West Coast enterprise accounts.
  • Run compelling discovery sessions, executive meetings, and commercial conversations that uncover real business pain.
  • Work closely with the founders, product, and sales engineering teams to shape deals and accelerate growth.
  • Help define the enterprise GTM playbook and become a key part of building the sales organisation.


👀 Who We're Looking For

  • 10 years in an enterprise cybersecurity sales role, ideally within Identity.
  • Proven track record of closing complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise deals.
  • A hunter mentality — comfortable creating pipeline, opening doors, and winning new logos.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset — you want ownership, autonomy, and the opportunity to help build something from the ground up.
