We are a fast-growing startup backed by industry experts and top-tier investors, led by Crosspoint Capital Partners and also backed by Shield Capital, DTCP (formerly Deutsche Telekom Capital Partners), Deepwork Capital, and the Florida Opportunity Fund. Our seed round was led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). As an early employee, you will play a meaningful role in defining and building our culture. Get in on the ground floor: we are a small but well-funded team that just raised a substantial round.

This is a founding role in TENEX’s cloud security go-to-market motion. As Cloud Security GTM Specialist, you will own new business development for Wiz-focused CNAPP and cloud-native security solutions. You will work alongside TENEX’s Google Cloud Security co-sell motion, engage directly with CISOs and cloud security leaders, and position TENEX AI SOC MDR as the layer that makes Wiz deployments operationally complete.
This is a quota-bearing role, measured on pipeline generation, deal registration, and ARR.
Google closed its $32B acquisition of Wiz in March 2026, cementing CNAPP as the centerpiece of enterprise cloud security. This role puts you at the intersection of that momentum, TENEX AI SOC MDR, and a co-sell motion built for scale.
A seller who understands the Wiz platform deeply — including the Security Graph, CSPM, CWPP, CIEM, and code-to-cloud visibility — and can articulate how TENEX AI SOC MDR extends and operationalizes that investment.
A professional with experience selling into multicloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) where fragmented tooling and alert fatigue are everyday CISO pain points.
A relationship-driven closer who can navigate the DevSecOps buyer alongside the traditional security buyer, speaking fluently to both engineering and executive audiences.
A co-sell operator who knows how to work within a hyperscaler partner ecosystem, activating Google Cloud, Wiz channel partners, and the Wiz Integration Network (WIN) to drive pipeline.
A professional committed to replacing legacy SIEM and fragmented point tools with a unified, context-rich approach to cloud security.
Someone who leads with humility but carries the gravitas to challenge the status quo in a customer’s cloud security program.
Someone who genuinely wants to give good the advantage.
Own and execute a cloud security sales strategy targeting enterprise accounts across your assigned territory, with a primary focus on Wiz-led CNAPP opportunities.
Develop and manage co-sell pipeline with Wiz field teams, Google Cloud Security reps, and channel partners in the Wiz Integration Network (WIN).

Manage full enterprise sales cycles from prospecting through contract negotiation and close, with deal sizes typically $300K to $1M+ ARR.
Collaborate with TENEX Customer Engineering and SOC leadership to deliver compelling technical demonstrations and custom proof-of-value engagements.
Maintain pipeline hygiene and accurate forecasting in Salesforce, and participate in weekly CRO deal reviews.

5+ years of enterprise security sales experience, with at least 2 years focused on cloud security, CNAPP, CSPM, or related disciplines.

Familiarity with cloud-native architectures across AWS, Azure, and GCP, and the unique security challenges of multicloud and hybrid environments.
Understanding of the DevSecOps buyer journey and how to position security solutions that span development, cloud operations, and security operations teams.
Experience selling alongside or into the Wiz partner ecosystem (WIN, cloud marketplaces, MSSPs) is strongly preferred.
Proven track record of exceeding quota in enterprise technology or cybersecurity sales, with $300K to $1M+ ARR deal cycles.
Experience executing co-sell motions with hyperscalers (Google Cloud, AWS, Azure) or strategic ISV partners.
Strong command of structured sales methodologies: MEDDIC, MEDDPICC, Challenger, or Sandler.
Ability to build and manage complex multi-threaded opportunities across technical, security, and executive buying centers.
Proficiency with Salesforce and modern sales engagement tools (Outreach, Apollo, HubSpot).
Ability to present to and earn trust with CISOs, CIOs, and cloud platform owners.
