AI Security Sales Executive, North Central

• Shape the product and the playbook. Work directly with Product and R&D leadership, including our co-founder and CTO, and feed what you hear in the field back in a fast loop as the suite matures from early availability to GA.

• Build AI Security expertise across the sales team, in addition to closing.

• Stay current as the suite evolves. Availability and depth will shift quickly, and you will keep pace.

WHAT YOU'LL SELL

Abnormal's AI Security suite includes five products, each at a different stage of availability:

• AI Governance: Discovers your AI, uncovers shadow AI, and shows who's using what and at what cost.

• AI Cloud Security: Detects and contains AI cloud breaches using behavioral AI and honeypots.

• AI Employee Guardrails: Lets employees use AI without leaking data or triggering unintended actions.

• AI Agent Security: Inventories an organization's AI agents and ensures they behave as intended.

• AI Security Workbench: Lets security teams use AI to run investigations with Abnormal's models, without guardrails.

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS RIGHT NOW

Every security vendor is staking a claim in AI security. Abnormal has earned real credibility here through eight years of behavioral AI investment and a track record protecting email for thousands of customers. That trust is an advantage today, not a permanent one, and this role exists to make sure we capitalize on it while the window is open.

For the right person, that means owning a brand-new motion at the center of a fast-growing company, working directly with executive and product leadership, and building a track record as one of the people who defined how this category gets sold.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 5+ years of quota-carrying sales experience, primarily selling into Enterprise accounts, with a proven record of personal quota attainment and winning new business.

• Hands-on experience selling an AI product, with enough technical and product depth to run the sales cycle as the expert and give our product team credible feedback.

• A record of selling in security or closely adjacent infrastructure.

• Technical depth and curiosity: comfort discussing AI architecture, cloud security concepts, and how behavioral models work, in enough detail to earn trust with technical buyers.

• A consultative, challenger style, paired with the hunter instincts to run strategic outbound into new logos.

• Comfort operating in ambiguity. The suite and the motion for selling it are still evolving, and much of the playbook will be written by whoever takes this role on.

• Strong cross-functional instincts. You will partner closely with Account Executives, Sales Engineering, and product leadership, and you will work autonomously between those touchpoints.

NICE TO HAVES

• Direct experience selling AI security, cloud security, or other emerging security categories.

• Experience as an early seller or builder of a new motion: a first sales hire, a founding seller, or a new product line launched inside a larger company.

• Experience in an overlay, specialist, or advisory role in cybersecurity or AI, or a record of selling into CISOs and security leaders.

• Experience selling early-availability products and shaping design partner deals.

Actual compensation will be determined based on several non-discriminatory factors including skills, experience, qualifications, and geographic location.

In addition to base salary, this role may be eligible for bonus or incentive compensation, equity, and a comprehensive benefits package.

Base salary range:

$157,250 — $185,000 USD
