Enterprise Account Executive - East Coast USA

Job description.

At a Glance
•    Senior enterprise sales role at a high-growth cloud security platform — Series B funded
•    Own the full sales cycle into enterprise accounts across the East Coast of the USA
•    Selling next-generation cloud-native security to CISOs and security leadership
•    Base salary $130,000–$165,000 + uncapped commission (OTE $260,000–$320,000+)

About Our Client
Ocho People are proud to be partnering with a rapidly scaling cloud cybersecurity business operating at the cutting edge of the industry. Our client has built a cloud-native security platform purpose-built for modern infrastructure — protecting organisations across multi-cloud environments, containerised workloads, and hybrid architectures. Trusted by global enterprise clients across financial services, healthcare, and critical infrastructure, the business has achieved significant ARR milestones and closed Series B funding from tier-one investors. With a world-class engineering team, a category-defining product, and a commercial function that’s just getting started, this is a rare opportunity to join a company on a steep upward trajectory.


The Role
This is a high-impact individual contributor role for an experienced enterprise seller who knows how to navigate complex, multi-stakeholder deals in the cybersecurity space. You’ll be joining a commercial team that is scaling fast, with the autonomy to build your territory from the ground up and direct access to pre-sales, product, and leadership to support your deals. Your buyers will be CISOs, VPs of Security, and Security Architects — people who understand the problem your platform solves and need a trusted advisor to guide them through a meaningful purchase decision. If you’re energised by building, thrive in high-growth environments, and want equity upside alongside strong commercial reward, this role is designed for you.


Key Responsibilities
•    Own the full sales cycle from prospecting through to close across a defined enterprise territory
•    Drive net-new revenue by building and managing a robust, self-generated pipeline of enterprise opportunities
•    Engage CISO-level and senior security stakeholders, positioning the platform as a strategic investment
•    Lead commercial and technical discovery to deeply understand prospect environments and security challenges
•    Partner with pre-sales engineers to design compelling proof-of-concept and evaluation frameworks
•    Negotiate and close six- and seven-figure contracts, navigating procurement, legal, and security review processes
•    Develop long-term account plans to maximise expansion and retention across key accounts
•    Collaborate with marketing and SDR teams to convert inbound leads and co-develop targeted outbound campaigns
•    Represent client and company at industry events, conferences, and customer briefings

What You’ll Need


Essential
•    5+ years’ enterprise B2B sales experience, with at least 3 years selling cybersecurity or cloud infrastructure solutions
•    Proven track record closing six- and seven-figure deals with enterprise accounts (Fortune 500 / FTSE 250 level)
•    Experience selling to CISO, VP Security, and senior technical stakeholders
•    Strong understanding of the cloud security landscape — CNAPP, CSPM, CWPP, or adjacent categories
•    Demonstrated ability to build and manage a self-sourced pipeline in a competitive market
•    Excellent communication, discovery, and negotiation skills
•    Right to work in the USA without restriction; based on the East Coast (New York, Boston, DC, or surrounding metros preferred)


Desirable / Nice to Have
•    Experience at a high-growth Series A–C security or cloud vendor
•    Familiarity with AWS, GCP, or Azure environments and how security buyers evaluate cloud-native tooling
•    MEDDIC or MEDDPICC-trained sales methodology

Why Apply?
•    Base salary $130,000–$165,000 depending on experience, with OTE of $260,000–$320,000+ uncapped
•    Equity participation — meaningful early-stage ownership in a fast-growing business
•    20 days PTO plus federal holidays, increasing with tenure
•    Remote-first culture with flexibility to work from anywhere on the East Coast
•    Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage; 401(k) with company match
•    Clear progression path into regional leadership as the commercial team scales
•    Work with a product that solves a genuine, urgent problem in one of the fastest-growing sectors in tech
