We're hiring a Strategic Enterprise Account Executive to own and grow a focused portfolio of Fortune 500 and highly regulated enterprise accounts. You'll report to the Regional VP East, on a team of ambitious sales professionals in the US.

This is a named-account role, built for depth rather than breadth. You'll carry a small, hand-picked portfolio of Fortune 500 and highly regulated accounts, each one an opportunity to build real influence.

These are substantial sales cycles, often in banking and financial services, where a single deal is complex with many stakeholders involved. Winning them rewards strong judgment, the patience to earn the trust of CISOs, and the discipline to keep a complex deal moving on your own.

• Own and expand a portfolio of strategic named accounts, focused on Fortune 500 and highly regulated enterprises

• Navigate Fortune 500 buying committees and multi-thread relationships across security, engineering, and business stakeholders

• Build executive-level trust with CISOs, AppSec leaders, platform engineering leaders, and business stakeholders

• Drive competitive displacement against incumbent vendors

• Build and execute multi-year account penetration and expansion strategies

• Own your pipeline and forecast with discipline; you're self-directed, process-driven, and committed to results

• 10+ years of enterprise software or security sales experience, with a track record running large strategic accounts and complex, multi-stakeholder evaluations

• Proven experience selling into Fortune 500 organizations

• Experience selling Application Security, DevSecOps, Cloud Security, Infrastructure Security, Identity/NHI/IAM, or developer tooling

• A track record of competitive displacement wins and enterprise expansions

• Executive presence: the ability to build trust and exceptional communication with CISOs, AppSec leaders, and business stakeholders

• Strong political and organizational judgment: experience navigating buying committees, multi-threading, and executive influence mapping

• A disciplined, independent operating style; accurate forecasting, thoughtful escalation, and autonomous project management
