About this role
Censys is looking for an experienced enterprise sales leader to build their presence in the Southeast, selling Internet intelligence and security solutions to Fortune 500 companies and government clients. You'll own the regional sales strategy, manage complex multi-stakeholder deals, and work closely with Sales Engineers and a research team to help customers secure their cloud environments. The role demands someone comfortable with the unpredictability of a scaling startup—where you'll have real ownership in building sales processes and enablement—while also driving toward concrete quarterly revenue targets around a $1M quota.
This position requires at least 10 years of software sales experience, ideally in security, with a proven track record closing large deals using solution-selling approaches. You should be comfortable with MEDDIC or value-selling frameworks, proficient in Salesforce, and skilled at remote and virtual selling. A degree in Computer Science, Marketing, or equivalent experience is expected. Travel to customer sites in Florida or Georgia is part of the role, and you'll report directly to the VP of Sales (East).
Censys offers total compensation of $320,000–$350,000 plus equity, with benefits including 401k match and health coverage starting day one.
