After a period of strong product adoption and growth, the company is expanding its founding Go-To-Market team, offering a unique opportunity to shape the future of the company and team.
The Role
As an Enterprise Account Executive, you’ll take full ownership of a defined territory - driving the entire sales cycle from initial outreach to close. This is a high-impact, strategic role suited for someone who thrives in value-based selling and wants to make a tangible difference with an innovative product solving critical business problems.
What You’ll Do:

2. Navigate complex sales cycles with multiple stakeholders
3. Leverage a value-based selling approach to clearly communicate the ROI and business outcomes of the platform
4. Partner with internal teams e.g., Customer Success to ensure a smooth sales process and strong onboarding
5. Drive outbound efforts, attend relevant events, and build a network of privacy professionals to uncover new opportunities
6. Become a trusted advisor, developing long-term relationships with executive sponsors and decision-makers
What Does Success Look Like? You consistently meet or exceed quota by closing complex, high-value enterprise deals, and become a key player in building a scalable sales motion. You help drive adoption of the platform.
Ideal Candidate:
1. 8+ years of enterprise software sales experience, selling to C-level and senior decision-makers
2. 2+ years of experience building out a new territory or vertical from scratch
3. Proven success selling into early-stage environments with a metrics-driven mindset
4. Strong experience selling into Privacy, Legal, Security, or Engineering teams
5. Demonstrated ability to navigate complex deals across multiple departments
6. Intellectually curious, passionate about solving real-world data privacy challenges
7. Excellent pipeline hygiene and forecasting discipline using Salesforce
8. Prior startup or scale-up experience would be a bonus but not essential
What’s on Offer: An early opportunity to shape the GTM strategy in a high-growth market. The chance to work on mission-critical problems and walk into a very strong customer pipeline.
