Full-time SDR, Black Kite

01THE OPPORTUNITY

As a Commercial Account Executive covering the Pacific Northwest, you own the full sales cycle for small and mid-sized businesses in your territory — from first outreach to closed deal. You'll bring Black Kite's third-party cyber risk management platform to security and risk leaders who need a smarter way to manage vendor exposure, and you'll do it with the backing of a product that genuinely differentiates. This is the right role if you're a hunter who thrives in a high-velocity, consultative sales environment and wants to grow with a category leader.

A defined territory with real whitespace — the Pacific Northwest commercial segment is an active growth priority for Black Kite

A product that solves a real, board-level problem — third-party cyber risk is not a nice-to-have; it's a regulatory and business imperative

Full sales support: SDR coverage, marketing pipeline contribution, and a Sales Engineering team that knows the product cold

A leadership team that is accessible, data-driven, and invested in your development

Competitive base + uncapped commission with accelerators above quota

02WHAT YOU'LL OWN

• Full sales cycle ownership: prospect, qualify, advance, and close net-new business across the Pacific Northwest territory

Pipeline development: build and maintain a healthy, active pipeline of qualified SMB opportunities through outbound prospecting, channel partnerships, and marketing-sourced leads

Executive engagement: navigate and sell into security and risk leadership (CISO, CIO, Head of TPRM) as well as operational buyers

Channel collaboration: partner with regional channel partners to co-sell and expand market coverage across the territory

Forecast accuracy: maintain clean, current opportunity documentation in Salesforce and deliver reliable forecast reporting to leadership

Cross-functional partnership: work closely with Sales Engineering, Marketing, and Customer Success to move deals forward and set customers up for long-term success

Feedback loop: bring field intelligence back to Marketing and Product — your conversations with prospects shape how Black Kite goes to market

03WHAT YOU BRING

• 3+ years of full-cycle sales experience in SaaS, cybersecurity, data, or analytics — with a track record of hitting or exceeding quota
• Experience selling to security or risk leadership (CISO, CIO, CRO, Head of TPRM/TPCRM) at the SMB or commercial level
• Consultative selling approach: you lead with the customer's problem, not the product pitch
• Strong regional network in the Pacific Northwest — existing relationships with end-users or channel partners is a plus
• Comfortable managing a high-velocity pipeline across multiple simultaneous opportunities
• Skilled at navigating multi-stakeholder deals and building relationships across levels of an organization
• Clean Salesforce hygiene and strong organizational discipline
• Clear, confident communication — written, verbal, and in front of an executive audience
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience
• PREFERRED
• Prior experience in the cybersecurity or third-party risk management space
• Familiarity with TPCRM, vendor risk, or compliance-driven sales cycles
• Established relationships with MSSPs, VARs, or regional channel partners in the Pacific Northwest
• Experience using sales engagement tools (Outreach, Salesloft, or equivalent) alongside Salesforce
