We're hiring a Strategic Enterprise Account Executive to own and grow a focused portfolio of Fortune 500 and highly regulated enterprise accounts. You'll report to the Regional VP East, on a team of ambitious sales professionals in the US. This is a named-account role, built for depth rather than breadth. You'll carry a small, hand-picked portfolio of Fortune 500 and highly regulated accounts, each one an opportunity to build real influence.

- Proven experience selling into Fortune 500 organizations
- Experience selling Application Security, DevSecOps, Cloud Security, Infrastructure Security, Identity/NHI/IAM, or developer tooling
- A track record of competitive displacement wins and enterprise expansions
- Executive presence: the ability to build trust and exceptional communication with CISOs, AppSec leaders, and business stakeholders
- Strong political and organizational judgment: experience navigating buying committees, multi-threading, and executive influence mapping
