Job Description

Who are we?

UpGuard’s mission is to make life easier for security teams. We meticulously create robust solutions that enable our customers to identify, assess, and remediate cybersecurity risk across their attack surface, vendor ecosystem, workforce, and trust relationships. Our integrated cyber risk posture management platform combines comprehensive security ratings, instant risk assessments, templated security questionnaires, threat intelligence capabilities, and agentic AI to give organizations a holistic view of their risk surface.

At UpGuard, our Sales team has not only been pivotal in growing our business but, more importantly, showing the value of our product daily. We have a highly collaborative sales culture and take on a consultative approach, focusing solely on what’s best for the customer. In 2024, our Sales team exceeded revenue targets, and we’re only just getting started! We’re on the lookout for high-energy individuals who are hungry to get better every day, have a desire to win, and are seeking to sell a product that is helping solve a massive problem for businesses across the globe.

Why are we hiring for this role?

UpGuard had a record-breaking 2020 where sales grew by 128% and new customer velocity increased by over 179%. The ride has only continued since then, so with that, we are expanding our sales team to keep the momentum going!

Our sales team is expanding in all regions, and the focus is on finding our next Account Executives in the US. Could that be you?

We are looking for a full-time, ambitious sales professional who is ready to make the next step in their career. You will get exposure to every aspect of our sales cycle, from lead generation to close across a global portfolio of customers.

  • Maintain accurate and detailed notes on every deal in your pipeline
  • Work as a team with Sales Development Representatives (SDRs), Customer Success Managers (CSMs), and Operations to complete a full sales cycle
  • Collaborate with other Account Executives and cross-departmentally to share knowledge and insights
  • As part of an entrepreneurial team in this rapidly growing business, you will help shape the future of businesses of all sizes and securely use technology to connect with customers, employees, and suppliers

  • You are highly process and detail-oriented
  • We’re looking for someone who’s not just comfortable with change, but curious about it—especially when it comes to adopting AI tools that can enhance how we work
  • What will give you an edge?

  • Experience using Hubspot CRM
  • Technical background (BSc Comp Sci or Equivalent)
  • Knowledge and understanding of the cybersecurity industry - ideally from a previous sales role in the industry
  • Proven track record selling to companies in the Financial Services industry
