Job description

[BOSTON]

A venture-backed cybersecurity startup in Glilot Capital’s portfolio is hiring its first Account Executive.

We are looking for a proven enterprise cybersecurity seller with deep familiarity with the CISO organization and an established network of security decision-makers. This person should know how to navigate complex enterprise buying cycles, create urgency around security problems, and turn trusted relationships into early design partners and customers.

What You’ll Do

  • Own enterprise pipeline creation and close the company’s first major customer relationships.

  • Leverage an existing network of CISOs, security leaders, and enterprise buyers to generate qualified opportunities.

  • Lead discovery, communicate technical value, and navigate multi-stakeholder sales cycles.

  • Partner directly with the CEO and product team to refine positioning, qualification, and the sales motion.

  • Bring customer feedback from the field into product and roadmap decisions.

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years selling cybersecurity solutions into enterprise accounts.

  • A demonstrable track record of closing complex, six- and seven-figure cybersecurity deals.

  • A strong, active rolodex of CISOs, security executives, and relevant enterprise buyers.

  • Credibility discussing security priorities, buying triggers, and technical evaluation processes.

  • Comfort operating as a founding AE: prospecting, selling, building process, and doing the unglamorous work required to win.

  • Based in Boston or able to work regularly in Boston.

This role offers competitive compensation, meaningful equity, and the chance to build the commercial foundation of an ambitious cybersecurity company.
