The Opportunity

A well-established, UK-headquartered cybersecurity vendor is seeking a new business-focused sales professional to drive growth across the EMEA region. The company has a 20+ year track record in delivering enterprise-grade identity and access management (IAM) and authentication solutions, protecting millions of users across regulated industries.

This is a full-cycle BDM/Account Executive role, ideal for someone who thrives in a consultative, outbound-driven environment and wants to sell high-impact security technology to mid-market and enterprise customers.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Identify and engage new business opportunities across EMEA through outbound activity and inbound lead follow-up.
  • Own the full sales cycle — from prospecting to close — with a focus on mid-sized and large organisations.
  • Conduct discovery-led conversations with IT/security stakeholders and C-level decision-makers.
  • Deliver tailored product demos and proposals with support from pre-sales and marketing.
  • Build strategic account plans and navigate complex buying processes.
  • Maintain pipeline accuracy and forecasting in the CRM (ZoHo).
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to align go-to-market efforts.
  • Stay up to date with trends in cybersecurity, IAM, and regulatory compliance.

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience in B2B tech sales, ideally in cybersecurity, SaaS, or IT infrastructure.
  • A true hunter mentality — proactive, tenacious, and target-driven.
  • Confident in running your own outreach (cold calling, email, LinkedIn) and leading conversations through to close.
  • Strong consultative selling skills and experience navigating complex sales cycles.
  • Sector experience in any of the following is a plus:
  • Healthcare (public or private)
  • Manufacturing
  • Utilities
  • Government (local or central)
  • Defence/Aerospace
  • Telecoms
  • Retail

What’s in It for You

  • Competitive base salary + market leading commission
  • Flexible hybrid working (1 day a week in office)
  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays
  • Private medical and dental insurance
  • Life assurance
  • Health and wellbeing platform

Seniority level

  • Mid-Senior level
