Obsidian Security
Mid Market Account Executive - San Francisco
Obsidian Security was founded in 2017 to solve the unaddressed blindspot of SaaS Security. SaaS applications provide the tools employees need to succeed and hold the business’ most critical information. If those tools become unavailable or that data is jeopardized, there is a detrimental impact on the organization.
Obsidian proudly offers the industry's most comprehensive and powerful SaaS defense solution. We are committed to solving the challenge of SaaS Security for our customers as efficiently and effectively as possible.
We’re a passionate team optimizing for impact by solving some of the biggest challenges in cybersecurity today. We listen closely to our customers, iterate quickly, and (over) deliver to delight them. Working at Obsidian means contributing to an industry-leading cybersecurity product in an environment where customer satisfaction, privacy, and data ethics are paramount.
About the Team:
We are building a foundational team of Commercial Account Executives to help the security-and-compliance community in the mid-enterprise to assess their readiness for attacks, adherence to standards, and alignment with best practices in their most important applications. Ultimately, the Obsidian platform fills many of these gaps, reducing risk and saving time for our customers. Because of the emerging and rapidly accelerating awareness of security and compliance risks in SaaS environments, we are anticipating rapid growth, which brings with it a high probability of career advancement opportunities as we grow to help more customers with these emerging risks while saving time and resources in the process.
About the Role:
This role is focused on acquiring accounts where these problems and risks are most prevalent and consequential: Healthcare, Finance and high-tech in organizations with 1k-3k employees.
