Enterprise Account Executive, META

Company Background

Censys’ mission is to be the one place to understand everything on the internet. Frustrated by the lack of trustworthy Internet intelligence, we set out to create the industry’s most comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date map of the Internet. Today, Censys delivers real-time Internet intelligence and actionable threat insights to global governments, over 50% of the Fortune 500, and leading threat intelligence providers worldwide.

Censys has emerged as a leader in internet-scale attack surface management — and we're scaling the sales org to match. This is your shot to own the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa market at exactly the moment a Series D, category-defining security company needs its next great territory builder.

You'll report to our Area VP of Sales (EMEA) and sit alongside a sharp bench of Sales Engineers, Channel Managers, and SDRs who move fast and back each other up. You won't just be closing deals in one of the fastest-growing cybersecurity investment regions in the world — the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and broader Gulf's aggressive national cybersecurity mandates, combined with rapid digital transformation across enterprise and government sectors, make this one of the highest-growth-potential territories in the company. You'll also help write the playbook other AEs use as we scale, working directly with sales leadership to shape process, not just execute it.

If you're energized by category-leader momentum but still want the freedom (and occasional chaos) of building something from a still-early stage — territory strategy, deal structure, even parts of the sales motion aren't fully fixed yet — this is built for you.

• Own and build the META territory for a company that's just become the recognized leader in internet intelligence and attack surface management

• Run and close large, complex deals with multiple C-level and government stakeholders across enterprise, financial services, telecom, and public sector accounts

• Become a go-to expert on Censys's security data and SaaS platform — the same data powering threat intelligence, security research, and defense at scale globally

• Consistently beat activity, pipeline, and revenue targets each quarter

• Build and maintain a strong, accurately forecasted pipeline of qualified opportunities across a diverse, multi-country region

• Negotiate agreements that create real, mutual value — not just a signed contract

• Directly influence and help build the sales playbook as we scale from category emergence to category dominance

• 10+ years of software sales experience, including 5+ years in cybersecurity

• Experience selling at early-stage or high-growth companies where you helped build the motion, not just run it

• A consistent track record hitting or exceeding quota (target to be confirmed against regional plan)

• Command of complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles using solution-selling methodology, including public sector / government procurement experience where relevant

• Fluency in Arabic strongly preferred; professional English fluency required

• Comfort and skill running a fully virtual/remote sales process, including executive-level virtual presentations

• Fluency in Salesforce

• Willingness to travel extensively across the region, including to customer and government sites as needed

• Fluency in MEDDIC, Force Management, or Value Selling frameworks

• Existing relationships or credibility within Gulf enterprise, telecom, or government cybersecurity buyer communities

• Experience navigating regional data residency and public-sector compliance requirements
