This isn't just another sales job.
We're looking for people who want to build something. People who get excited by creating opportunities, winning new customers and helping shape the future of a growing cybersecurity business.
If you're looking for a role where you'll inherit a portfolio of accounts and simply maintain existing relationships, this isn't it.
If you're motivated by opening doors, building relationships and winning business through your own efforts, keep reading.
Who are Peritus?
Peritus Cloud Security is a fast-growing independent cybersecurity consultancy helping organisations reduce cyber risk through expert advisory services, managed security offerings and market-leading technology partnerships.
We work with organisations including Rightmove, The Telegraph and Wise and are investing heavily in our people, services and partnerships.
The Opportunity
We're recruiting two New Business Account Executives to join our growing commercial team.
This is a genuine new business hunter role. You'll be expected to create opportunities, build your own pipeline and win new customers. If you're looking for an account management position or a role built around existing accounts, this isn't it.
