Description:

West Coast Enterprise AE | Own the Territory | $350K+ OTE


If you're a top-performing Enterprise seller on the West Coast, you've probably seen this movie before:

  • Another “next-gen” security platform.
  • Another crowded category.
  • Another fight for internal resources and patchwork differentiation.

This isn't that!...


We're partnered with a company quietly building one of the most important layers in modern cloud security — solving a problem every enterprise feels, but very few vendors fix:

Turning security alerts into real-world remediation.

Most platforms stop at detection. This one closes the loop.


Why this is different

  • Enterprise security teams are drowning in alerts, misconfigurations, and “findings” they don't have the time or expertise to fix.
  • This platform sits on top of existing tooling and actually does the work:
  • Automates triage, investigation, and remediation workflows
  • Combines AI with real human cloud security expertise (not blind automation)
  • Reduces noise while driving measurable risk reduction
  • Turns “we found it” into “it's fixed” — consistently
  • This is why deals land. This is why budgets exist.


The Opportunity

  • Up to $350K Double OTE
  • True greenfield West Coast territory — no internal competition
  • Growth hire — build it your way, own it end-to-end
  • ASP ~$100K (with deals north of $300K already closed)
  • 90–100 day sales cycle (real enterprise motion, not endless churn)
  • This is a role for someone who wants ownership, not just a patch on a map.


Who thrives here

  • This is not for everyone — and that's the point.
  • We're looking for someone who:
  • Has a proven enterprise track record (consistently above quota, Presidents Club, etc.)
  • Brings an existing West Coast network (buyers + channel relationships)
  • Knows how to build pipeline from zero and keep it full
  • Is comfortable running a true enterprise cycle and closing meaningful deals
  • Has stayed long enough to actually build and prove success
  • If you need inbound to survive, this won't be your environment.
  • If you know how to create opportunities — you'll have complete control of your upside.


Why top performers are leaning in

  • You're not selling another tool — you're solving a known, expensive gap
  • Clear differentiation in a crowded market
  • Strong technical backing (AI + human expertise, not one or the other)
  • Early enough to matter, mature enough to win


If you're an A-player who wants:

  • Real ownership
  • A product that resonates with enterprise buyers
  • And the chance to build a territory with no internal friction


Then apply to his ASAP and let's meet, this is a top opportunity!
