    Description

    Enterprise Account Executive – Cybersecurity (North Central)

    VC Backed, Fast Growth Cyber startup

    New Enterprise AE hire - Growth hire for an exciting Cyber AI startup at an early stage. Chance to put your personal stamp on the growth of the business.

    You'll be a true hunter, owning complex enterprise deals end-to-end and working directly with the CEO to build the North Central region from the ground up.

    We need someone based in the North Central region who is known and well connected across that territory.

    Below covers everything you need to know about what this opportunity entails, as well as what is expected from applicants.

    If you thrive in unstructured environments, have a strong CISO/GRC network, and can turn conversations at events into real pipeline — this role is built for you

    The Role:

    • Individual contributor with a meaningful enterprise quota
    • Own and close large, complex enterprise deals
    • Build pipeline through events, network-led selling, and smart outbound
    • Partner directly with the CEO and founders on strategy, deals, and market expansion
    • Be one of the first enterprise AEs shaping how the company sells and wins

    What We're Looking For:

    • 5+ years of enterprise cybersecurity sales experience
    • Early AE experience at a Seed / Series A / Series B startup
    • Proven success closing $100k+ ACV deals into Fortune 1000 accounts
    • A strong, credible CISO / security leadership network
    • Confidence winning business face-to-face at industry events and conferences
    • Relentless drive, urgency, and a builder's mindset

    Mindset & Fit:

    • You speak the language of CISOs, security leaders, and GRC teams
    • You prospect aggressively and don't wait for inbound
    • You want ownership, autonomy, and accountability — not layers of management

    Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

    • Meaningful early-stage equity with real upside
    • Direct impact on company direction, GTM motion, and growth
    • Work alongside highly technical founders with strong product–market fit
    • Mission-driven: enabling enterprises to adopt AI securely and responsibly
    • High-performance culture built on speed, transparency, and execution

    About the Company:

    A US-based Cyber AI startup, backed by top-tier cyber-focused VCs, solving one of the biggest problems enterprises face today: secure GenAI adoption.

    If you are a proven, driven enterprise AE who wants to build something meaningful, leverage your network, and accelerate your career fast — this is one worth exploring.

    Apply today and connect with me ASAP for a conversation to discuss:

    Ed Carr – Trident Search.

    Candidates for this role will need to have experience selling in a cyber startup, have a strong network or senior level cyber decision makers and have worked in a founding AE role before or a 1st boots on the ground cyber sales role. xhmxlyz

    $150,000 basic salary, Double OTE. Fully remote based – covering the whole of the North Central territory.
