Account Executive

What We Do:

Cybercrime is growing, and more businesses are getting hit by threats that used to target only the biggest organizations. That pushes defenders like us to operate at the highest level, and it deepens our need for good people who want to make a meaningful impact.

Founded in 2015 by former NSA cyber operators, Huntress is a remote-first team working to make enterprise-grade cybersecurity accessible to businesses of all sizes. We work closely with security teams and service providers protecting complex environments, often without the time or headcount to handle it all. That’s why we build our technology in-house and back it with a 24/7 human-led Security Operations Center (SOC). As a result, our platform is never disconnected from the experts who manage it, ensuring our customers' protection.

Huntress now secures more than 5M endpoints and 16M identities worldwide. Those numbers keep growing because more businesses rely on us to help carry the load and operate with more confidence. Every day, you can see that commitment in how we stand with our customers and how we show up for each other.

• Use AI tools with sound judgment to streamline account research, prospecting preparation, follow-up drafting, and routine CRM workflows while keeping customer context and data accurate.

• You bring strong presentation, active listening, and critical-thinking skills, along with the drive, initiative, energy, and sense of urgency to acquire and serve clients.
• You have a growth mindset, contribute actively in a team environment where knowledge sharing is encouraged, and bring knowledge of cybersecurity or cybersecurity sales as a helpful bonus. You are also able to travel up to 10% to events and customers as needed.
• You use AI thoughtfully to work faster and smarter on everyday sales tasks while applying sound judgment to customer information, messaging, and recommendations.
