About the Role
As an SMB Account Executive for Defense AI & GRC, you will own a fast-moving, full-cycle sales motion across small-business customers. You will lead with Secureframe’s strategic product story, helping defense contractors protect CUI and get CMMC ready using AI, automation, and secure infrastructure, while also selling our broader GRC platform. This is a velocity role focused on closing approximately 30-50 deals per quarter.
Responsibilities
- Own the full sales cycle—from prospecting and qualification through discovery, demo, commercial alignment, close, and clean handoff.
- Close approximately 30–50 transactions per quarter by balancing speed, responsiveness, qualification discipline, and customer value.
- Sell Secureframe Defense AI and GRC products, matching the right solution to each customer’s business, security, compliance, and IT goals.
- Run practical discovery around business drivers, contract requirements, IT environments, CUI scope, current tools, buying process, urgency, and budget.
- Explain how Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365 GCC High licensing, secure enclaves, Azure Virtual Desktop, and related services fit into the Defense AI solution—partnering with technical specialists when deeper architecture is required.
- Deliver focused Defense AI and GRC demos and business cases that connect Secureframe’s automation and support to faster readiness, lower operating burden, stronger security, and protected revenue.
- Create pipeline through thoughtful outbound outreach, rapid inbound follow-up, referrals, partners, events, and disciplined account research.
- Multi-thread with owners, executives, IT, security, compliance, finance, and operations stakeholders without overcomplicating the buying process.
- Maintain accurate pipeline, next steps, forecasting, and activity in Salesforce.
- Bring customer and market feedback to Sales Engineering, Marketing, Product, Partnerships, Customer Success, and RevOps.
Requirements
- 2-5+ years of success in a quota-carrying B2B sales role, or equivalent evidence that you can prospect, run discovery, manage a pipeline, and close.
- Experience selling cybersecurity, compliance, cloud, managed services, IT services, business software, hardware, or another solution with both technical and business value.
- A record of working effectively in a high-velocity environment with many simultaneous opportunities and short decision windows.
- Strong discovery, presentation, demo, negotiation, objection-handling, and written communication skills.
- The judgment to keep straightforward deals moving while identifying opportunities that deserve deeper discovery and broader stakeholder engagement.
- Comfort discussing technical concepts with customers while knowing when to bring in a sales engineer or subject-matter expert.
- A consistent outbound mindset and a willingness to create your own opportunities.
- Strong CRM and forecasting habits; Salesforce experience is helpful.
- Curiosity, resilience, accountability, and the ability to learn quickly in a fast-changing environment.
