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.

- Lead long, multi-party sales cycles involving technical, risk and purchasing stakeholders.

- Generate part of your own pipeline alongside inbound leads and meetings booked by the development team.

- Establish a repeatable sales process as the first dedicated account executive.

Requirements

What we're looking for

- Track record of personally closing deals with large, established enterprise buyers.

- 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.
