About Workstreet

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.

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.

• Engage key stakeholders — build relationships with security leaders, compliance teams, and technical buyers at growing mid-market companies.

• 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.

• Professional services sales mastery - documented success pitching, scoping, and closing high-margin professional or managed services alongside or over pure software products.
• Channel and partner ecosystem architecture - proven track record of constructing strategic partner relationships, managing joint account alignment, and executing co-selling motions with channel partners.
• Technical GRC domain fluency - deep commercial experience selling cybersecurity, compliance, GRC, SaaS, or complex managed technical solutions in high-velocity environments.

• Advanced HubSpot CRM execution - hands-on proficiency in optimizing pipeline automations, custom properties, deal stage workflows, and sales tracking within HubSpot.

• 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.
