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.

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.
