Account Executive - B2B SaaS/Cybersecurity

The Opportunity

Join the market leader in mobile application security to drive enterprise B2B SaaS expansion across Europe & the UK. Guardsquare protects over 1,000 global enterprise customers and mobile apps used by billions.

We are looking for an experienced, high-performing Account Executive to drive new business acquisition across our highest-growth European territories: UK, DACH, Nordics, and CEE.   

In this role, you will own the full sales cycle, from prospecting and discovery through technical evaluation, negotiation, and close. Supported by dedicated Solutions Engineers and SDR teams, you will navigate complex, deeply technical sales cycles and engage both hands-on technical stakeholders (developers, security engineers) and executive decision-makers (CISOs, VPs of Engineering) across mid-market and enterprise organizations to win new logos and expand Guardsquare's market presence.   

We are looking for a true hunter: commercially sharp, proactive, resilient, and motivated by closing enterprise deals. 

What You’ll Do

• Own new business acquisition across Europe, with a clear focus on winning new logos.
• Build and maintain a strong pipeline through proactive prospecting and outbound activity, supported by our SDR team.
• Own the full sales cycle, from initial outreach and discovery through evaluation, negotiation, and closing.
• Identify the right stakeholders and build relationships across complex organizations, including security, engineering, technical, procurement, and business teams.
• Understand prospects’ challenges and translate them into a compelling business case for Guardsquare.
• Work closely with Solutions Engineering and other internal teams throughout technical evaluations and the sales process.
• Navigate complex enterprise sales cycles involving multiple stakeholders and decision-makers.
• Negotiate commercial agreements and confidently drive opportunities towards close.
• Maintain accurate pipeline management, opportunity tracking, and forecasting using Salesforce.
• Consistently deliver against, and aim to exceed your revenue targets.

Who You Are

• At least 5 years of experience in a new business/hunting sales role within B2B software, SaaS or cybersecurity/developer tools.
• A proven track record of prospecting, building pipelines, and winning new logos.
• Experience carrying and delivering against an annual ARR target.
• A genuine hunter mentality: you’re comfortable creating opportunities yourself rather than relying solely on inbound leads or SDR-generated pipeline.
• Experience managing complex software sales cycles from first contact through close.
• Strong experience selling across Europe, with UK market experience being crucial.
• Strong commercial acumen and confidence engaging both technical and business stakeholders.
• Comfortable negotiating and selling into enterprise organizations with multiple decision-makers.
• Experience using CRM and sales tools such as Salesforce.
• Fluent professional English, additional European languages (German/Polish) are a plus.
• Self-motivated, resilient, and energized by ambitious targets and a fast-moving environment.
• Willing to work from our Leuven office at least 3 days per week.

Nice to Have

• Experience selling cybersecurity or application security solutions.
• Experience selling technical or developer-focused software.
• Familiarity with selling to security, engineering, or software development teams.
