Founding Account Executive

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Join as the first dedicated closer and take full ownership of new business, from the first conversation through signed agreement.

• Sales background with a complex software product aimed at technical teams.
• Ability to hold credible conversations with security buyers; a technical degree is not required.
• At least one year of experience in a quota-carrying closing role.
• Experience running deals end to end rather than supporting them.
• Willingness to source your own pipeline.
