The Role
Own the full sales cycle for GRC, cybersecurity, and compliance services through the auditor channel. Manage a high-volume pipeline, close mid-market opportunities, develop partner relationships, drive co-sell revenue, and advise security and compliance stakeholders on relevant frameworks. The role requires consultative selling, strong organization, responsiveness, and collaboration in a fast-paced remote-first environment.
Summary Generated by Built In

At Workstreet, we're on an exciting journey to help businesses scale securely by designing and implementing cutting-edge security and compliance programs. As a fast-growing company, we specialize in a wide range of global GRC (governance, risk, and compliance) services that support many frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, CMMC, HIPAA, HITRUST, and FedRAMP. We empower companies to meet regulatory requirements and enhance their cybersecurity posture to build customer trust.

Get to know the Sales Team

We move fast; some people say it, but we mean it! This is a hypergrowth sales org — we are a like-minded collective of builders, doers, and high-agency individuals. We work on the leading edge with companies to solve their most critical security & compliance challenges. We often hear that we are the home of people's "favorite sales role they have ever had." If you want to be part of a team that moves fast — and wins doing it — you're in the right place.

The Opportunity

We're looking for an Account Executive to join our growing GTM team. This role is built for a driven, high-velocity closer who wants to own a full sales cycle at the intersection of cybersecurity, compliance, and services. You'll become a trusted advisor to prospects — helping them understand and solve their compliance challenges, not just closing deals. You'll own the full sales cycle within our auditor channel team (working with prospects referred by our audit partners), managing a high volume of opportunities while developing deep expertise in security and compliance frameworks. You'll also be assigned specific partner relationships to own and grow over time, driving a co-sell pipeline alongside your direct sales motion. Our deals typically involve $40k-$50k ACVs, with an average sales cycle of 30-45 days.

What You'll Do

  • Own the full sales cycle — manage deals independently from discovery through proposal, contracting, and close.
  • Run a high-volume motion — manage 30-40 opportunities per month while consistently closing 10-15+ deals per month.
  • Grow assigned partner relationships — own specific partner accounts, deepening those relationships over time and driving co-sell pipeline and revenue through them.
  • Develop technical expertise — build deep knowledge in SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and other compliance frameworks to have meaningful, consultative conversations with prospects.
  • Engage key stakeholders — build relationships with security leaders, compliance teams, and technical buyers at growing mid-market companies.
  • Stay ahead of your pipeline — respond quickly, stay organized, and proactively drive deals forward rather than waiting on prospects.
  • Collaborate and improve — contribute to refining our sales playbooks, messaging, and qualification criteria based on what you're learning in the field.

Who You Are

  • Proven full-cycle closer — 3-5 years of Account Executive experience owning a full sales cycle (discovery → proposal → contracting → close).
  • GRC & compliance experience  — track record of selling complex GRC, audit & advisory services spanning commercial and public sector regulatory requirements.
  • Mid-market seller — experience selling primarily to mid-market companies, ideally companies with 50-400 employees.
  • High-volume performer — track record managing 30-40 opportunities a month while consistently closing 10-15+ deals a month, with average contract sizes around $40,000-$50,000 and a 30-45 day sales cycle.
  • Partner-minded relationship builder — comfortable owning and growing assigned partner relationships over time, and driving pipeline through a co-sell motion.
  • Highly responsive and organized — proactive in customer communication and disciplined about staying on top of a large, moving pipeline.
  • Self-starter — thrives in a fast-paced startup environment and is comfortable operating with autonomy and some ambiguity.

What Will Help You Succeed

  • Experience selling a service, rather than software.
  • Experience building partner relationships and selling through or alongside a channel partner.
  • Experience selling cybersecurity, compliance, GRC, SaaS, or technical services.
  • Experience selling to technical buyers (CTOs, CISOs, IT leaders, founders, engineering leaders).
  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, or CMMC.
  • Experience working in HubSpot.

What We Offer

  • Career Development: Clear path with mentorship and training opportunities.
  • Competitive Compensation: A competitive base salary with regular performance reviews linked to merit-based appraisals and bonus opportunities.
  • Growth Opportunity: Early-stage company with significant room for career advancement.
  • Remote-First Culture: Flexibility to work from anywhere while collaborating with a global team.

What You'll Need to Thrive

  • Excellent written and verbal English communication skills, with the ability to engage confidently with prospects, partners, and business leaders across global teams.
  • A reliable, high-speed internet connection and a professional home office environment that supports confidential conversations, virtual interviews, and uninterrupted collaboration.
  • Commitment to working a standard schedule of 8:00 AM–5:00 PM in your local time to effectively collaborate with team members, stakeholders, and cross-functional partners.
  • Willingness and ability to travel locally for occasional onsite meetings, team gatherings, or business activities as needed.
