Job Description

Our client is seeking a dynamic Business Development Manager to drive revenue growth across their portfolio of enterprise cybersecurity products, including Vigil, Crudguard, Aurora, and Drift.

You will act as the commercial bridge between customers and the technical/founding team, solution-selling the product suite to address specific customer risk, compliance, and security priorities.

Key responsibilities include building and managing a qualified pipeline, conducting discovery and demos, developing proposals, negotiating contracts, building trusted relationships with security leadership, developing channel and partner relationships, leading RFP/RFI responses, and reporting on pipeline and revenue targets.

Requirements include 5+ years in B2B enterprise sales or business development, ideally in cybersecurity, SaaS, or fintech, with a provable track record of closing complex deals and consistently hitting quota. Experience selling to CISOs and security/risk buyers, with fluency in security and compliance, is essential. A strong existing network in financial services or regulated enterprises is a significant advantage.
