London | Hybrid | January cohort

A high-growth cybersecurity vendor that has secured series A funding is expanding its commercial team. The team operates with honesty, transparency, and a clear focus on delivering real value rather than chasing vanity metrics.

This role suits candidates who want genuine ownership, strong earning potential, and a culture built on trust rather than bravado. A technical background is not required. Curiosity, discipline, and integrity are essential.

About the Role

You will own a true full sales cycle supported by both inbound and outbound motion.

  • Generate 50 percent of your own pipeline through outbound activity tailored to your strengths.

  • Work with SDRs who provide the other 50 percent of inbound opportunities.

  • Lead discovery, qualification, tailored demos, relationship development, and all commercial negotiation.

  • Build compelling business cases that clearly articulate the security, operational, and financial value of the platform.

  • Maintain honest, accurate pipeline data with clear next steps and realistic forecasts.

  • Operate in a culture without rigid KPIs. You use the channels that work for you: calls, emails, referrals, or targeted outbound research.

Who Thrives Here

  • Sales professionals with at least one year of experience, or high-calibre graduates, who are motivated by helping customers solve genuine security challenges.

  • Honest, grounded communicators who can admit their weaknesses and are committed to growth.

  • Individuals who want to build long-term sales skills, not performative sales theatrics.

  • People with commercial instinct, resilience, and the ability to think clearly under pressure.

  • Candidates interested in cybersecurity and willing to learn fast.

  • Team players who enjoy an energetic culture with real collaboration.

  • A technical background is not required. A desire to understand cybersecurity fundamentals is.
