Senior Account Executive – Cybersecurity

Focus: New Logo Acquisition | Cybersecurity | Third-Party Risk

The Opportunity

The Company is a growing cybersecurity organization helping small
and mid-sized businesses strengthen their overall security
posture and reduce business risk. The company takes a
consultative, holistic approach to cybersecurity, combining
technology, advisory expertise, ongoing risk assessment, and
security services rather than focusing on a single point
solution.

As the company continues to expand, they are looking to add an
experienced Senior Account Executive who can drive new-logo
growth and help further develop the company's presence in the
market.

This is an opportunity for an entrepreneurial salesperson who
understands cybersecurity, knows how to create opportunities
rather than simply work inbound leads, and is comfortable
engaging business and technology executives around risk.

In addition to its core cybersecurity offering, the company is
expanding a third-party cyber risk solution designed to help
larger organizations assess, monitor, and improve the
cybersecurity posture of the vendors and suppliers within their
ecosystem.

What You'll Be Responsible For

* Drive New-Logo Revenue: Build and close new business through
strategic prospecting, direct outreach, referrals, events,
existing relationships, and partner-generated opportunities.
* Own the Full Sales Cycle: Manage opportunities from initial
outreach and discovery through solution positioning,
presentation, negotiation, and close.
* Sell Consultatively: Engage executives around cybersecurity
from a business-risk perspective, understand their current
environment and vulnerabilities, and position appropriate
solutions and services.
* Develop Third-Party Risk Opportunities: Identify organizations
that need greater visibility into the cybersecurity posture of
their vendors, suppliers, and other third parties and help build
opportunities around third-party risk management.
* Build Channel Relationships: Develop and manage referral,
channel, and strategic partner relationships that can create new
opportunities and extend the company's market reach.
* Develop Your Own Market: Operate with significant autonomy and
identify creative ways to build relationships and generate
revenue.
* Maintain a Strategic Pipeline: Build and manage a healthy
pipeline, maintain accurate forecasts and CRM activity, and
consistently move qualified opportunities through the sales
process.
* Collaborate Internally: Work directly with leadership and
internal teams to develop opportunities, refine solutions, and
ensure a smooth transition of new clients after the sale.

The Profile We're Looking For

The ideal candidate is an established hunter who already
understands sales methodology and can operate independently. This
isn't a role designed to teach someone how to prospect, qualify,
or manage a complex B2B sales cycle.

We're particularly interested in candidates with:

* 4–10+ years of B2B sales experience, ideally within
cybersecurity, technology, risk management, IT services, managed
services, or another complex solution environment.
* A demonstrated history of new-logo acquisition and building
business through proactive prospecting.
* The ability to discuss cybersecurity and risk in a business
context with executive-level decision makers.
* Experience selling a combination of technology, advisory,
professional services, or ongoing services, rather than
exclusively transactional products.
* A strategic, consultative approach to discovery and solution
selling.
* Experience developing business through channel partners,
referral relationships, strategic alliances, and personal
networks.
* The ability to operate autonomously and create opportunities
without relying heavily on inbound lead flow or extensive
pre-sales resources.
* Strong executive communication, presentation, negotiation, and
relationship-building skills.
* An entrepreneurial mindset and interest in helping grow an
emerging cybersecurity business.

Particularly Relevant Experience

Candidates with direct exposure to any of the following will be
especially compelling:

Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) • Vendor Risk Management •
Cyber Risk Assessments • Supply-Chain Risk • Cybersecurity
Ratings/Scoring • Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) • Security
Advisory/Consulting • vCISO Services • Cybersecurity Assessments
• Security Awareness & Training • Professional or Managed
Security Services

Experience selling third-party or supplier cybersecurity risk
solutions is particularly valuable, but isn't an absolute
requirement for an otherwise strong cybersecurity hunter.

﻿Territory & Work Environment

The position will have broad opportunity to develop business
without being confined to a narrowly defined local territory.

The environment is best suited for someone who enjoys autonomy,
direct access to leadership, and the opportunity to influence how
a growing organization takes its solutions to market.
