About Us:

HiveWatch is a tech-forward, inclusive organization fostering the evolution of the physical security industry. We are a diverse team of forward thinkers who empower each other to find creative and collaborative solutions in an industry ripe for modernization. We are passionate about the problems we’re solving for our customers and equally passionate about the company we’re building.  

HiveWatch is here to help security teams pivot from chasing threats to preventing them. We protect organizations, people, and property through the intelligent orchestration of physical security programs. With better communication, more insights, and less “noise”, we are modernizing what it means for businesses and their employees to truly feel safe.

About the Role:

HiveWatch is building out a new sales motion and this role is at the center of it. As a Growth Account Executive, you’ll join an established sales organization of 20+ and help us expand into a high-velocity, trigger-based segment alongside our Enterprise AE team.

This is a full-cycle, net-new role. You’ll own your territory from first signal to closed deal: identifying and prioritizing accounts based on intent, running outbound prospecting, leading discovery and demos, and driving contracts to close. You won’t be handed a warm pipeline — you’ll build it, and you’ll be expected to do it with creativity, discipline, and the modern tools available to you.

The opportunity is real. HiveWatch is scaling fast, the product is proven, and the demand signal is there — it just needs someone with the hunger and resourcefulness to go find it.

Deal Structure:

  • Full-cycle — prospecting through close; may include technical evaluations, paid pilots, and multi-stakeholder sign-off across security, IT, and procurement 
WHAT YOU'LL DO:Territory & Account Prioritization
  •   Own a defined territory and account set; build and maintain a prioritized target list based on intent signals and ICP fit
  •   Research accounts proactively: identify companies hiring physical security leaders, recently funded startups, fast-scaling tech companies, hyperscalers, data centers, defense tech, AI companies, and others where physical security is a growing priority
  •   Develop a point of view on your territory — know who’s ready to buy and why, before they raise their hand
Outbound Prospecting
  • Run high-quality, personalized outbound across email, phone, LinkedIn, and other channels — volume with precision, not spray and pray
  • Leverage modern sales tools and AI to scale prospecting efforts without sacrificing relevance or personalization
  • Partner with BDR resources to build pipeline efficiently and coordinate outreach across accounts
Full-Cycle Sales Execution
  • Lead discovery calls to uncover pain, map stakeholders, and qualify opportunities with rigor
  • Deliver compelling product demonstrations tailored to the buyer’s environment and priorities
  • Navigate multi-stakeholder deals across security, IT, and procurement with confidence
  • Manage pilots and technical evaluations in partnership with the Solutions Engineer; keep deals moving and expectations aligned
  • Drive deals to close with urgency, creativity, and consistent follow-through

 Sales Motion Building

  • Contribute to building a repeatable, scalable growth sales motion — bring a founder mentality to your segment
  • Share learnings, messaging, and tactics that make the broader team sharper
  • Operate with high accountability: accurate forecasting, clean CRM hygiene, and clear pipeline visibility
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • 3+ years of full-cycle software sales experience across at least 2+ direct selling roles
  • SaaS sales experience is required; services or non-software backgrounds are not a fit for this role
  • Demonstrated track record of sourcing and closing net-new business through outbound prospecting
  • Comfortable running end-to-end sales cycles independently — from cold outreach to signed contract
  • Fluent with modern sales tools and AI; uses technology to research, prioritize, and scale outreach without losing quality
  • Strong written and verbal communicator — can tailor a message to a GSOC director and a CFO in the same week
  • Organized, data-driven, and disciplined about CRM hygiene and pipeline management
  • Based in or willing to work from our El Segundo, CA office
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Experience selling into security, IT, or operations personas at mid-market or enterprise companies
  • Familiarity with physical security, GSOC operations, or adjacent industries (defense tech, critical infrastructure, etc.)
  • Experience with trigger-based or intent-driven prospecting motions
  • Comfortable navigating deals that involve technical evaluations or proof-of-concept stages
CHARACTERISTICS MOST IMPORTANT TO US:Hunger Over Pedigree

This role rewards people who outwork and outthink the competition. We care far more about drive, creativity, and coachability than the logos on your resume.

Builder Mentality

You’re joining an established team but building something new within it. You’ll need to create structure where it doesn’t exist, test what works, and iterate fast. If you need a fully built playbook handed to you, this isn’t the role.

Change Agent

Physical security has been done the same way for decades. You’re energized by the opportunity to convince buyers there’s a better way — even when they’re comfortable with legacy systems. You can articulate how AI will make their lives dramatically easier, and you don’t get rattled by skepticism.

Relentless & Resourceful

No task is too big or too small when it comes to closing deals. You’ll jump on a last-minute demo, build a custom one-pager to break through a stuck deal, and still find time to fill your pipeline for next quarter.

ADDITIONAL INFO
  • Base salary range: $90,000 - $110,000K USD per year
  • Eligible for commission
  • Eligible to participate in HiveWatch Equity Incentive Plan

The final offer will be at the company’s sole discretion and determined by multiple factors, including years and depth of relevant experience, expertise, and other business considerations.

BENEFITS & CULTURE

At HiveWatch, we’re passionate about taking care of our people — and it shows in the benefits we offer. Our team enjoys:

  • Comprehensive health coverage: medical, dental, vision, and life insurance
  • Cutting-edge work in an emerging field with huge growth potential
  • Competitive compensation packages designed to reward top talent
  • A modern, newly renovated HQ right on Main Street in El Segundo, CA
  • 401(k) with a 4% company match to help you invest in your future (match launches in 2026)
  • Flexible paid time off so you can recharge when you need it
  • Additional benefits include ClassPass credits and a discount on pet insurance
  • A family-friendly, compassionate culture that values balance and belonging

We encourage you to challenge the status quo, share your perspective, and leave fear at the (access-controlled) door.

OUR EEO STATEMENT

HiveWatch is an equal opportunity employer and we are committed to cultivating a work environment that supports, inspires, and respects all individuals. We execute our hiring practices so that they are merit-based and we do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, marital status, age, disability, medical condition, genetic information, national origin, ancestry, military or veteran status, or other protected characteristic.

Skills Required

  • SaaS sales experience
  • Demonstrated track record of sourcing and closing net-new business
  • Comfortable running end-to-end sales cycles independently

Year Founded: 2020

What We Do

Born from the frustration of experienced security professionals who understood the industry's biggest challenges, HiveWatch was created to solve what legacy systems couldn't. Security teams are drowning in video feeds and alarms while struggling with staff turnover and missed incidents. They're inundated with repetitive and mundane tasks, tying them down with low-impact and time-consuming work. This type of activity creates intense frustration, leading to complacency, burnout, high turnover, and is ultimately a waste of company funds and resources. As physical security grows and transforms, enabled by advancing AI and technology, it's critical for the industry to embrace this new era to improve the important work the people in physical security are doing. HiveWatch emerged as the antidote: a cloud-native platform that brings together disparate systems, reduces false alarms, and delivers actionable intelligence to security leaders so they can make better decisions. By removing monotonous and laborious tasks, security personnel can be upskilled and enabled to do more impactful, meaningful, and proactive work.

Why Work With Us

HiveWatch is a tech-forward, innovative, and inclusive organization leading the evolution of the physical security industry. We are a data-driven, tech-geek, and fun (at least we like to think so) group of people looking for more diverse perspectives to join us in defining what “keeping people safe” really means.
