    Role Overview


    This is a rare opportunity to build the North American sales function for a category-defining cybersecurity platform (AQtive Guard), backed by the stability of a deeply‑funded company. As our founding sales leader in the region, you will operate as a 'player‑coach' to define the go‑to‑market strategy, land key enterprise accounts, and scale a high‑performing team from the ground up. If you're excited by the prospect of Series A‑style impact with the resources of a late‑stage venture, this role offers an unparalleled platform for growth and ownership.

    What You'll Do:

    • Own and drive new enterprise sales opportunities for AQtive Guard across North America.
    • Build and manage a strong pipeline using strategic account planning, MEDDPICC/Challenger methodologies, and value‑based selling.
    • Develop and execute go‑to‑market strategies in partnership with marketing, sales engineering, customer success, and product teams.
    • Engage directly with CISOs, CIOs, CTOs, and other executive stakeholders to shape business cases, manage complex buying cycles, and drive large enterprise deals to close.
    • Represent SandboxAQ at industry events, executive dinners, and strategic customer briefings.
    • Provide critical field feedback to product, engineering, and leadership teams to refine roadmap and positioning.
    • As revenue grows, recruit, coach, and lead a high‑performing North American sales team, including enterprise account executives and sales development resources.
    • Collaborate with global leadership to ensure consistency, forecasting accuracy, and alignment to revenue targets.

    Minimum Qualifications

    • 10+ years of cybersecurity sales experience with a proven track record of exceeding quota.
    • Deep expertise or strong familiarity with cryptography, identity security, and/or non‑human identity (NHI) management.
    • Significant enterprise sales experience selling to Fortune 500 and regulated industries (financial services, government, healthcare, energy, etc.).
    • Experience as a player‑coach – successfully driving personal quota while building, mentoring, and scaling teams.
    • Strong network of executive‑level security and IT decision‑makers.
    • Exceptional ability to manage long, complex sales cycles (12–18 months) while driving urgency and clear business outcomes.
    • Excellent communication, executive presence, and negotiation skills.

    Preferred Qualifications

    • Background in cryptographic solutions, key management, PKI, HSMs, or adjacent areas of cybersecurity.
    • Prior experience selling innovative or category‑creating security technologies and early stage start‑ups.
    • Familiarity with post‑quantum cryptography and its implications for enterprise security.
