Who we are:

Action1 is an autonomous endpoint management platform trusted by thousands of organizations, including many Fortune 500 companies. Cloud-native, infinitely scalable, highly secure, and configurable in 5 minutes—it just works and is always free for the first 200 endpoints, with no functional limits. By pioneering autonomous OS and third-party patching with peer-to-peer patch distribution and real-time vulnerability assessment without needing a VPN, it eliminates routine labor, preempts ransomware and security risks, and protects the digital employee experience.

In 2025, Action1 was recognized by Inc. 5000 as the fastest-growing private software company in America. The company is founder-led by Alex Vovk and Mike Walters, American entrepreneurs who previously founded Netwrix, a multi-billion-dollar cybersecurity company.

Introduction: 

Action1 is transforming endpoint security for modern IT teams. As we continue our evolution from SMB to enterprise, we are hiring a high-performing Enterprise Account Executive to drive complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles across mid-market and enterprise organizations in the UK.

This is a quota-carrying, full-cycle role focused on landing and expanding enterprise accounts. You will engage directly with IT Directors, Security Leaders, Infrastructure teams, and executive stakeholders to position Action1’s patch management and endpoint security platform as a strategic solution.

We’re looking for someone who understands how enterprise cybersecurity buying works — longer sales cycles, multiple decision-makers, technical validation, procurement navigation — and who thrives in a high-growth, remote-first SaaS environment.

If you’ve successfully sold cybersecurity or adjacent IT solutions into enterprise accounts and enjoy building pipelines as much as closing, this role is for you.

Responsibilities:

Drive Enterprise Revenue Growth: Own a defined territory and meet or exceed enterprise quota targets through disciplined pipeline generation and deal execution.

Manage the Full Sales Cycle: Lead opportunities from prospecting through close — including discovery, stakeholder mapping, value alignment, proof-of-concept coordination, negotiation, and contract execution.

Sell to IT & Security Leaders: Engage IT Managers, Directors of Infrastructure, CISOs, and technical buying committees with credibility and consultative expertise.

Build & Maintain Strong Pipeline Coverage: Generate pipeline through outbound prospecting, partner collaboration, and strategic account planning. Maintain disciplined forecasting and opportunity hygiene in Salesforce.

Navigate Complex Buying Processes: Manage multi-threaded sales cycles, security reviews, procurement workflows, and competitive displacement strategies.

Partner with Solutions Engineers: Collaborate closely with pre-sales/technical resources to ensure strong technical validation and alignment with customer requirements.

Execute Account Expansion Strategy: Identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities within enterprise customers to drive expansion revenue and long-term retention.

Stay Market-Aware: Maintain strong knowledge of cybersecurity trends, endpoint management landscape, and competitive positioning.

Operate with Ownership: Work independently in a remote-first environment while collaborating cross-functionally with Marketing, Channel, Customer Success, and Product teams.

Collaborate cross-functionally: Partner closely with marketing, product, and sales leadership to provide feedback from the field and refine messaging.


Requirements
  • 3–7+ years of quota-carrying B2B sales experience in SaaS, cybersecurity, or IT infrastructure solutions 
  • Proven success selling into mid-market or enterprise organizations 
  • Experience engaging IT buyers (IT Directors, SysAdmins, Security Leaders, Infrastructure teams) 
  • Demonstrated ability to generate pipeline and close complex deals 
  • Strong forecasting discipline and Salesforce hygiene 
  • Experience navigating longer, multi-stakeholder enterprise sales cycles 
  • Excellent discovery and consultative selling skills 
  • We are seeking candidates who can start as soon as possible due to business needs.
  • Comfortable in a high-growth, fast-paced startup environment

Benefits
  • A collaborative environment encouraging you to own your domain and implement best practices   
  • Stable income, benefits, flexible working hours, and opportunities for promotion. 
  • Friendly and professional peers, eager to help and help you grow. 
  • A multitude of interesting challenges and opportunities.
